Everlasting
Minuit Machine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where is this place, we used to call our home?
I burned it down to ashes
You and me, we were doomed before we were born
You were my mirror
You were the light before the dark
I'm facing my tears alone now,
Victim of my own crimes

I will fight another day
In the ruins of our fate
And I'm never gonna let you forget me
All of this time in vain

I never cared enough to try
Never looked behind the glass
But I'm gonna have to let you forgive me

All of this pain,
I used to fear the most
I caused it, all by myself.
Once again, just to prove that I can't be loved
You are my shelter,
You are the love I cannot waste,
I cannot fall from higher
But we can conquer this hell

I will fight another day
In the ruins of our fate
And I'm never gonna let you forget me
All of this time in vain
I never cared enough to try
Never looked behind the glass
But I'm gonna have to let you forgive me

I will fight another day
In the ruins of our fate
And I'm never gonna let you forget me

I never cared enough to try
Never looked behind the glass
But I'm gonna have to let you forget me
Never cared enough to try
Never looked behind the glass

But I'm gonna have to let you forgive me
All of this time in vain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Minuit Machine's song "Everlasting" seem to be about a relationship that has ended in flames. The singer asks, "Where is this place, we used to call our home?" implying a sense of loss and nostalgia for what once was. However, this is quickly contradicted with the line "I burned it down to ashes," indicating that the singer was the one who caused the destruction of the relationship. The line "You were my mirror" suggests that the other person may have reflected certain aspects of the singer's personality, while "You were the light before the dark" implies that the other person gave the singer hope and comfort during difficult times.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I will fight another day in the ruins of our fate" which could mean that the singer is not giving up on their relationship, even though it has been damaged beyond repair. The lyrics "All of this pain, I used to fear the most, I caused it, all by myself" suggest that the singer may have self-destructive tendencies or may have intentionally caused pain in the relationship. However, the line "You are my shelter, You are the love I cannot waste" indicates that the other person still holds significant meaning to the singer. The overall mood of "Everlasting" is quite melancholic and desolate, but the repetition of the phrase "I will fight another day" suggests that the singer still holds out hope for a reconciliation.
