Forever
Mr. Fusion And The Flux Capacitor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever young
Forever young, I want to be forever young (forever young)
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never
Forever young, I want to be forever young (forever young)
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never
Forever young, I want to be forever young (forever young)
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, or never young
(Or never young)
The song "Forever" by Mr. Fusion And The Flux Capacitor is a reflective and introspective song. The first stanza sets the scene for the rest of the song, as the singer suggests that we should dance in style and enjoy life while we can. The line "heaven can wait we're only watching the skies" implies that the singer and their companion are content with their lives now and are not in a rush for anything else. The next line "hoping for the best but expecting the worst" has a more negative tone, indicating that the singer may be wary of the world around them and suggests that they are aware of impending doom. The final line in the stanza "are you going to drop the bomb or not?" is a direct reference to the threat of nuclear war that was prevalent in the 1980s when the song was written.
The chorus "forever young, I want to be forever young, do you really want to live forever?" talks about the desire to stay young and avoid the inevitability of aging and eventual mortality. The second stanza suggests that people are all different and unique in their own ways, but in the end, we all grow old and die. The line "why don't they stay young?" suggests that the singer wishes people could stay young and innocent forever. The third stanza talks about the fear of aging, and the desire to keep the beauty and vitality of youth. The final chorus repeats the message of wanting to stay forever young and questioning whether living forever is desirable.
