Who Wants To Live Forever
Mig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
Yet slips away from us

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever

Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?





Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Overall Meaning

The song "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Mig Ayesa is a mournful reflection on the transience of human life and love. The lyrics underpin a deep feeling of frustration and loss, suggesting that life and love can never be truly eternal, as there is always an end. The opening lines, "There's no time for us, There's no place for us," establish a sense of doom and hopelessness. The song explores the impermanence of our existence, and how this can lead to feelings of regret or grief.


The chorus "Who wants to live forever?" repeats throughout the song, acting as both a rhetorical question and a statement. The questions themselves highlight the dichotomy between the human desire for immortality and the futility of trying to achieve it. The idea of love, which is often associated with eternity, is also discussed, with the line "Who dares to love forever? When love must die" suggesting that the very pursuit of love is a futile one, as it is doomed to end.


However, in the midst of all the pessimism, there is a glimmer of hope. The lines "Touch my tears with your lips, touch my world with your fingertips," evoke a sense of connection and intimacy, suggesting that even in the face of our impermanence, we can find moments of transcendence by truly connecting with someone else. The final lines, "Forever is our today, who waits forever anyway?" suggest that even though our time on earth might be fleeting, we should appreciate the moments we have together.
