Together Forever
Rekevin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't look at me
Don't touch me

Your eyes are deep blue
Like a sole or blues
My heavy dark eyes
Are sinking in yours

I'll catch your shot
For the last time

It will be long
In my mind

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Rekevin's song "Together Forever" convey a sense of distance and a reluctance to be physically touched. The singer does not want to be looked at or touched, indicating a reluctance to be emotionally vulnerable. It is possible that the singer has experienced emotional hurt in the past and is wary of being hurt again. The contrast between the deep blue eyes of the person being addressed and the heavy, dark eyes of the singer seems to suggest that the two are fundamentally different in terms of their emotional makeup.

Despite this distance, however, there is a sense of connection between the two through their eye contact. The sinking of the singer's eyes into the other person's suggests a sense of surrender to this connection. The singer is willing to catch the other person's shot, perhaps indicating that they are willing to take a risk in pursuing this relationship.

The final line of these opening lyrics, "It will be long in my mind," speaks to the emotional impact that this connection will have on the singer. Even if the relationship does not work out, the memory of this moment of connection will stay with the singer for a long time.
