Immortal
Marina and the daimonds Lyrics

I wanna be immortal
I desire to live forever

Like a God in the sky
Like a deity that is above human limitations

I wanna be a silk flower
I aim to be timeless and never fading away like silk flowers

Like I'm never gonna die
Like I am going to be there forever and never leave

I wanna live forever
I want to exist for eternity

Forever in your heart
I want to be remembered, always and forever

And we'll always be together
We will stay united from start to finish

From the end to the start
Our journey will remain constant from the beginning to the end

That's what we do it for
This is the reason we exist

To reserve a place
To guarantee a spot in the future

It's just another part of the human race
It's a common goal for everyone to attain eternal life and leave a legacy

To reserve a space
To secure a position in life

In history, it's just
In the books of past events, it is just another addition

Part of the human race, race
This is a shared dream among all of humanity

I'm forever chasing after time
I try to make each moment everlasting

But everybody dies, dies
Regardless, death is inevitable

If I could buy forever at a price
If I could purchase eternal life

I would buy it twice, twice
I would pay any cost to ensure eternal existence

But if the earth ends in fire
In the event of the destruction of the planet

And the seas are frozen in time
If the oceans are frozen in place

There'll be just one survivor
Only one memory will prevail

The memory that I was yours
The recollection that I was someone's beloved

And you were mine
And that person belonged to me

When you love somebody
When you truly care for someone

They'll always leave too soon
They will depart earlier than anyone wants

But a memory, a memory
A reminiscence, a flashback

Can make a flower bloom
Can cause something beautiful to emerge

We wanna be remembered
We crave to be commemorated

Don't wanna live in vain
We don't want our existence to serve no purpose

But nothing lasts forever
But all physical things come to an end

This world is in a losing game
Humanity is bound to lose in the end

I wanna mean something to somebody else
I aspire to have an impact on someone else's life

Feel a significance in the real world
Acknowledged and appreciated in the true world

It's not enough to live out a lucky life
Merely being fortunate is not satisfying enough

No I don't wanna be afraid
I don't want to be scared

Afraid to die, die, die
Fearing death and its inevitability

I just wanna be able to say
I only want to be capable of proclaiming

That I have lived my life, life
That I lived my best life

Oh, all the things that humans do
The multitude of things people do

To leave behind a little proof
To leave behind evidence of our existence

But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
Love never fades away with time

So keep me alive
Allow me to continue to exist

So keep me alive
Keep my spirit alive

So keep me alive, alive
Preserve my existence
