Immortal
Marina The Diamonds Lyrics

I wanna be immortal
The singer wants to be immortal and live forever.

Like a God in the sky
The singer wants to be revered and remembered like a god in the sky.

I wanna be a silk flower
The singer wants to be like a silk flower that never withers and never dies.

Like I'm never gonna die
The singer wants to be remembered as if she never died.

I wanna live forever
The singer wants to live forever and be remembered for it.

Forever in your heart
The singer wants to forever live in the hearts of those who loved her.

And we'll always be together
The singer wants to always be remembered beside the person she truly loves.

From the end to the start
The singer wants to be remembered with the person she loves from the beginning to the end of their lives.

That's what we do it for
The reason we do anything is to leave a mark on the world and be remembered.

To reserve a place
To leave a lasting impact on the world.

It's just another part of the human race
Wanting to be immortal is just another part of the human experience.

In history, it's just
Being remembered in history for eternity is important.

Part of the human race, race
Wanting to be remembered is a part of being human.

I'm forever chasing after time
The singer is always chasing time and wants to make the most out of every moment.

But everybody dies, dies
Despite the singer's wishes to live forever, everyone has to die.

If I could buy forever at a price
If the singer could, she would pay any price to live forever.

I would buy it twice, twice
The singer would pay twice the price to live forever.

But if the earth ends in fire
Even if the world ends in chaos, the singer wants to be remembered.

And the seas are frozen in time
Even if the world freezes in time, the singer wants to be remembered.

There'll be just one survivor
If everyone were to die, only the memories of those who are gone will remain.

The memory that I was yours
The only thing left of the singer will be the memory that she belonged to someone.

And you were mine
The singer will be remembered as belonging to the person she loves.

When you love somebody
When you love someone, they will eventually leave you.

They'll always leave too soon
Those you love will always leave you too soon.

But a memory, a memory
A memory of someone can keep them alive forever.

Can make a flower bloom
The memory of someone special can bring happiness and joy even in challenging times.

We wanna be remembered
We all want to be remembered by others.

Don't wanna live in vain
The singer doesn't want to live without making any impact on the world.

But nothing lasts forever
Even the things we hold dear will not last forever.

This world is in a losing game
No one can escape the inevitability of death.

I wanna mean something to somebody else
The singer wants to have a profound impact on someone else's life.

Feel a significance in the real world
The singer wants to feel like she has made a difference in the world.

It's not enough to live out a lucky life
Simply living a happy life is not enough for the singer, she wants to have a real impact on the world.

No I don't wanna be afraid,
The singer doesn't want to be afraid of dying.

Afraid to die, die, die
The singer doesn't want to be afraid of death.

I just wanna be able to say
The singer wants to be able to say that she has truly lived.

That I have lived my life, life
The singer wants to have lived a fulfilling life.

Oh, all the things that humans do
The things humans do in life in order to be remembered.

To leave behind a little proof
The singer wants to leave behind proof of her existence in the world.

But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
The love that someone has for another person is the only thing that can live on forever through memories.

So keep me alive
The singer wants to be kept alive in the memories of those who loved her.

So keep me alive
The singer is pleading to be kept alive.

So keep me alive, alive
The singer wants to be kept alive in the hearts of those who loved her.
