Eternity
Nemesis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please confirm that this is just a dream
Promise me that I will see him again
Alive like before
Now will every minute cause me pain?
Will my sin forever burn like the sun's flame
Poison all my veins, curse me till I'm lame
Make all my hope wane?!
Please let me go now
This must end somehow
I've suffered for my crime
Trust me, I sure tried
But I can't stand it here now
Wipe away this damned curse!

Perhaps it's best that I'm still afraid
My heart cries out for hope, still my life is pain
Cos nothing now remains, no one knows my name
The Land of Light awaits far away...

I climbed the tower above all the clouds
Where we once daydreamed, n' your memory prowls
Don't need no daydreams, they're worthless now
The dreaded winds howl n' blow me off the tower.

* * *

Perhaps it's best here in the arms of fate
Her heart cried out for hope, still her life was pain
Cos nothing more remained, no one knew her name
The Land of Light called and she soared away
Her body hit the ground n' lives no more
Her soul was filled with awe:
A leaf before the fall
Cos this tower ain't so high




This here's the tree of life
Reality's a great deceptive lie...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nemesis's song "Eternity" depict a sense of longing, desperation, and struggle with destiny. The singer is pleading for confirmation that their current reality is just a dream and that they will have the chance to see someone they miss dearly again. They question whether every passing minute will bring them pain and if their past mistakes will haunt them forever. The lyrics reflect their desire to be released from the torment and the curse they feel they are living under. They yearn for an end to their suffering and hope for a chance at redemption.


The singer then contemplates whether it is better to remain in fear, as it keeps their heart hopeful amidst the pain. Their life is portrayed as a constant struggle, where everything they held dear has vanished, leaving them feeling lost and unnoticed. The Land of Light is mentioned as a distant place filled with hope, offering solace from their current state of despair. The lyrics also describe the singer's ascent to a tower above the clouds, a place where they used to daydream and keep memories alive. However, even this escape seems futile as the winds of fate blow them off the tower, emphasizing their powerlessness and the ever-present harsh reality.


In the final part of the lyrics, a shift in perspective occurs. The song transitions to a third-person narrative, possibly referring to someone else who succumbs to fate. They too long for hope amidst pain, lamenting the loss of everything they once had. The Land of Light beckons them, and they soar away, leaving their earthly existence behind. The lyrics conclude with the impact of their fall, after which their soul is filled with awe, symbolizing a realization of the true nature of life and how ephemeral it can be. The singer reflects on the tower, symbolizing the Tree of Life, and suggests that reality is a deceptive illusion.

Assure me that I will be reunited with him


Alive like before
In the same state of life as before


Now will every minute cause me pain?
Will every passing minute bring me suffering?


Will my sin forever burn like the sun's flame
Will my wrongdoing always torment me intensely?


Poison all my veins, curse me till I'm lame
Spread a toxic influence through my entire being, tormenting me until I am disabled


Make all my hope wane?!
Cause my optimism to fade away completely?


Please let me go now
Allow me to be free from this suffering


This must end somehow
This situation needs to come to a resolution


I've suffered for my crime
I have endured the consequences of my wrongdoing

But I cannot tolerate being in this place anymore


Wipe away this damned curse!
Remove this accursed affliction completely

The Land of Light awaits far away...
A distant place called the Land of Light is waiting for me


I climbed the tower above all the clouds
I ascended a tower that reached beyond the clouds


Where we once daydreamed, n' your memory prowls
Where we used to imagine together, and your memory haunts me


Don't need no daydreams, they're worthless now
I no longer have any use for fantasies, as they hold no value


The dreaded winds howl n' blow me off the tower.
The terrifying winds roar and forcefully throw me off the tower

Perhaps it's best here in the arms of fate
Maybe it's better to accept one's destiny


Her heart cried out for hope, still her life was pain
Although her heart yearned for optimism, her existence remained agonizing


Cos nothing more remained, no one knew her name
Because there was nothing left, nobody recognized her anymore


The Land of Light called and she soared away
The Land of Light beckoned her, and she ascended towards it


Her body hit the ground n' lives no more
Her physical form collided with the ground and ceased to exist


Her soul was filled with awe: A leaf before the fall
Her spirit was overwhelmed with wonder: like a leaf approaching its descent


Cos this tower ain't so high
Because this tower is not as tall as it seems


This here's the tree of life
This is the symbol of everlasting vitality


Reality's a great deceptive lie...
The true nature of reality is a significant, misleading falsehood
