Forever and Never
Jack Frost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And is this forever
Forever and ever
So are you gone now
Is it me and my drink now
And is this forever
Forever and ever
Where will I find my end
Alone in the cold and winter rain
Forever and never
You know how it feels
My empty bloody life
Is ruined forever
So you are gone now
And this is forever
Forever and ever
So you are gone now
It's me and my drink now
This is forever
Forever and ever
[chorus:]
Where will I find my end
Alone in the cold and winter rain
Forever and never
You know how it feels
My empty bloody life
Is ruined forever
Where will I find my end
Alone in the cold and winter rain
Forever and never
I follow close behind
I will be with you soon
Or are you coming back
I'm waiting at the bar
And I want to pay
These lyrics are a heartbreaking reflection on lost love and the feelings of hopelessness that come with it. It would appear that the person the singer loved has left them, and they are left alone with their drink, contemplating whether this separation is permanent. The repetition of the phrase "forever and ever" emphasizes the finality of the situation, and the desperation in the singer's voice is palpable.
The chorus continues with the singer asking where they will find their end, alone in the cold and winter rain. The imagery of the cold and the rain underscores the sense of isolation and despair that the singer feels. They express that their "empty bloody life is ruined forever," highlighting how devastated they are by the loss. The final lines of the chorus, "I follow close behind, I will be with you soon," suggest a longing to be reunited with the lost love, even in death.
The final verse has a glimmer of hope, with the singer questioning whether their lost love will return. They wait at the bar, eager to pay for whatever has gone wrong, but there is no indication of whether they will be reunited. This ambiguity adds to the haunting quality of the song, as the listener is left to wonder whether the singer's pain will ever be eased.
