Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I′m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I′ll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I′ll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you for a thousand years
I′ll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I′ll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me,
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
The song "A Thousand Years" by Movie Kids portrays the feeling of being afraid to fall in love but mustering up the courage to love that person anyway. The lyrics describe a person who is deeply in love but is scared of what could happen if they pursue it. The idea of bravery and being vulnerable is emphasized as they acknowledge the risk of falling in love. However, the presence of their beloved who stands alone gives them the courage they need to take that one step closer.
The chorus is repeated twice in the song and it's the most important and emotionally evocative part. The phrase "I have died every day, waiting for you" relays how much the person has been waiting for their soulmate to arrive. It also implies that they don't feel alive without them. The words "I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more" uses a hyperbolic statement to describe the magnitude and depth of their love.

8.5/10
Allison is back, Scallison is finally endgame as it always was supposed to be
Even without Stiles it still gave teen wolf vibes
Derek (SPOILER but if you havent seen the movie, why are you here..) became a true alpha at the end, nice touch
they gave a decent explanation why Lydia broke up with Stiles
idk what the hate is about, for me it was worth waiting for it.
ticked all the boxes for me, just have some questions that hopefully get answered in a sequel movie :D
How is Harris alive? Why was he "stronger" than Liam and the others?
Who is Elis Mum? is it Braeden? if so, where is she?
but im satisfied, i cried happy tears when Scallison reunited and Scott finally said it back, thats all i needed from this movie :D
hopefully we get more teen wolf, the cast seems to be up for it so if the fans are as well, maybe we get more!
