Last Forever
Molly Nilsson Lyrics

Do you believe in astrology?
Are you a believer of astrology or do you perceive it as a mere topic of conversation to have with strangers during social outings?

Or do you think it's all made up to be
Do you question whether astrology is a construct to give a semblance of order to the universe?

something to talk about with strangers
Astrology being one of the go-to topics to share thoughts with people you don't know well.

when you go out
Astrology as a common social pleasantries between people to break the ice or engage in small talk.

Saying he had lost his friends
Someone mentioning about losing their close social circle.

'They must be the bar' I said,
The singer implying that it is quite common for people to find new friends in a bar or nightlife setting.

'that's where all friends are'
The singer acknowledging the fact that bars or club settings are where one can form new friendships.

Always wishing it would last forever
Hoping that the new friendships formed would last a lifetime.

Something in the night,
The aura or feeling of the nighttime atmosphere that captures one's senses.

something in the fading light
The somber, end-of-the-day atmosphere that evokes certain emotions in someone's heart.

and the background smiles
The sense of joy or positivity emanating from the surroundings even though it's not the main focus.

I never like the music but I love it loud,
Although not particularly fond of the music being played, the volume level of it gives a sense of elation.

love sitting quiet and watch the crowd
Enjoying observing the people surrounding the singer in their natural element.

Always wishing it would last forever
The singer hoping that the good time at the venue would never end.

Do you believe in infinity?
Asking whether someone puts value in the concept of infinity that goes beyond human comprehension.

Or is it just something we're meant to believe
Questioning the validity of the idea of infinity and whether it's just another human notion to make sense of the world around them.

to make some sense of it all,
Using mathematics or science to create logic for things that are nigh impossible to fathom.

or to make no sense at all
Infinity being beyond the grasp of ordinary human comprehension, suggesting a world of possibilities and incongruity.

I thought I saw you was it you?
A moment of mistaken identity where the singer wasn't sure if it was the person they thought it was or a production of their imagination.

Hiding behind the things we do
The other person shrouding themselves behind their actions, resulting in confusion or misunderstanding in the mind of the singer.

Something in the night,
The same feeling of ambiance and atmosphere that incites strong emotions in the singer.

something in the fading light
The transition from day to night, a beautiful natural phenomenon that is barely noticeable but holds so much meaning.

and the background smiles
The same sense of joy and positivity that is emitted from the landscape, even though it doesn't hog the spotlight.

I never like the music but I love it loud,
The singer reusing the same imagery to portray the juxtaposition of conflicting emotions.

love sitting quiet and watch the crowd
Escapism to have a first-hand experience of the surroundings and observe life and people without being too involved.

Always wishing it would last forever
The same fervent desire to have good times last infinitely, especially in places that are imbued with a strong sense of emotions and memories.
