Eternity
KenZiner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once again, we return
From whence we came, the hell fires burn
Through all these years, the torments the same
Through ageless lore, we've been here before

Time after time, we have foreseen
Vain attempts to mould our destiny
Lost in a dream, never awaken

Life is confused, we are forsaken

Captured souls, eternity
Beware behold, eternity
Over and over, we stay the course
Seeking the answers to evermore
We've come full circle again and again
The questions remain, it all looks the same

Time after time, we're back to the future
The prophets they sigh, no better the loser
Can't you read, the signs in the daunting sky
The dark runs from light
Now's the time to arise

Captured souls, eternity
Beware behold, eternity
Edge of time, eternity
Bridge of life, eternity

Over and over we stay the course
Seeking the answers to evermore
We've come full circle again and again
Through ageless lore, we've been here before

Time after time, we have foreseen
Vain attempts to mould our destiny
Lost in a dream, never awaken
Life is confused, we are forsaken

Captured souls, eternity
Beware behold, eternity

Edge of time, eternity
Bridge of life, eternity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KenZiner's "Eternity" convey a feeling of eternal recurrence and the cyclical nature of life. The repeated phrases "time after time" and "we've come full circle" emphasize the eternal return and the lack of progress in the human condition. The lyrics suggest that human beings are trapped in a cycle of suffering and their attempts to shape their own destinies are futile.

The imagery of "hell fires burn" and "captured souls" creates a sense of imprisonment and torment. The repetition of "eternity" throughout the song emphasizes the inescapable nature of this cycle. However, the song also offers a call to action, suggesting that now is the time to "arise" and break free from the cycle.

Overall, the lyrics of "Eternity" present a bleak but thought-provoking commentary on the human condition, inviting the listener to consider the cyclical nature of life and their own place within it.
