Timeless
Quake-X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traded my old things
For you
For you
I'm missing the fountains
I'm a fish out in the west winds
For you
For you
I was in water over my head
Everything blue, now everything's red
It's so dry
Ooh
You were the only reason I fled
All of my heartache left me in bed
Now I'm so high
Ooh
If you would just give me more
If you would just open that door
We'd be timeless
Ooh
If you would just let it out
Tell me all your fears, your doubts
We'd be timeless
Now we're just two kids
I traded my old friends for you
For you
Oh yeah
Love doesn't make sense
But I'll never pretend for you
For you
Ooh
I was in water over my head
Everything blue, now everything's red
It's so dry
Ooh
You were the only reason I fled
All of my heartache left me in bed
Now I'm so high
I'm so high
Ooh
If you would just give me more
If you would just give me more
If you would open that door
If you would just open that door
We'd be timeless
We'd be timeless
If you would just let it out
If you would just let it out
Tell me all your fears, your doubts
Tell me all your fears, your doubts
We'd be timeless
We'd be timeless
If you would just give me more
If you would open the door
We'd be timeless
We'd be timeless
If you would just let it out
Tell me all your fears, your doubts
We'd be timeless
We'd be timeless
The lyrics of Quake-X's song "Timeless" explore the longing for a deep connection and the desire for a love that transcends time. The song begins with the singer out in the mountains, symbolizing a sense of solitude and isolation. They have left behind their old life, including their possessions and friends, in order to be with someone they deeply care about. The mention of trading "old things" suggests a willingness to sacrifice and give up the past for the sake of love.
The chorus reveals the singer's yearning for a more profound connection with their partner. They feel like a fish out of water in the west winds, illustrating their vulnerability and search for stability. The lyrics describe being submerged in emotional turmoil ("water over my head") and experiencing a drastic shift in their perception ("everything blue, now everything's red"). This shift represents a transformation in their emotions and outlook on life.
Despite the pain they have endured, the singer believes that their love has the potential to be timeless. They express a plea for their partner to open up and share their fears and doubts, as this would strengthen their bond further. The repetition of the phrase "if you would just" emphasizes the singer's eagerness for their partner to take a step forward in their relationship. They believe that by doing so, they can achieve a love that withstands the test of time.
