Til The End Of Time
Mychael Danna and DeVotchKa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cloud your head and push your buttons
And watch how they just disappear
When we're far away from here
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Oh who put all those cares inside your head?
You can't live your life on your deathbed
And it's been such a lovely day
Let's not let it end this way
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
Like sisters and brothers, we lean on each other
Like sweethearts carved on a headstone
Oh why even bother, it'll be here tomorrow
It's not worth it sleeping alone
And look at you and me still here together
There is no one knows you better
And we've come such a long, long way
Let's put it off for one more day
And everybody knows where this is heading
Forgive me for forgetting
Our hearts irrevocably combined
Star-crossed souls slow dancing
Retreating and advancing
Across the sky until the end of time
The lyrics to Mychael Danna/DeVotchKa's song Till The End Of Time convey the message that words are just words and they do not hold any value unless we give them the power to influence us. It is important to not let worries and problems cloud our minds and affect us adversely. The song suggests that we should live in the moment, enjoy the present, and not let the worries of the future take away the joy of now. It touches upon the idea of love and how it can bring comfort and support to our lives, serving as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles. The slow dancing of two souls, retreating and advancing, is a beautiful metaphor for the ups and downs of life and how we navigate them with the support of loved ones until the end of time.
