Eternity
Ruth & Al Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
I been moving with the wrong crew in different spaces
I'm tired of shit coming out my pocket like I owe niggas compensation
Her ass little with a jiggle but she still my Lil' sensation
No activist but I'm still activated
I wake up and still feel the aggravation Revelations,sorry mama I didn't make it to the Higher places
I mean just look at my placement, the crescent city failing me at education
You can talk to my baby and she gon tell you only the shit she been going through as of Lately
Pearl on her finger I stole it from some crustaceans
I got an automatic with a spaceship so far from home and I can still hear what the ppl Saying

Just look at our conversation
Forced love ain't something I can brag about
That's complications
I try to go back basics but when I look back I can't see where we came from
I smell danger, don't preach to me about trynna to see all the different angles
My stomach empty i can't eat nothing but my fingers
We should let it dry out like putting wet clothes on hangers
I gotta admit tho
We ended shit on low notes
That agitated demons tho but little did she know
I'm ready to die before i close door and keep my eyes close
I let go




Into the abyss I go
I let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ruth & Al's song "Eternity" delve into themes of dissatisfaction, longing for change, and the complexity of relationships. The singer begins by expressing their frustration with their current situation, feeling stuck with the wrong group of people in different environments. They are tired of constantly being obligated to others and yearn for a sense of freedom and compensation for their efforts. Despite these difficulties, they find solace in a romantic partner who they describe as their "Lil' sensation," emphasizing the physical attraction they share.


The lyrics also touch upon the singer's personal struggles and sense of failure. They apologize to their mother for not reaching higher places in life, feeling limited by the lack of opportunities and education in their hometown, referred to as the "crescent city." The singer's baby, likely their partner, has been going through challenging times and can provide insight into their recent experiences. The mention of stealing a pearl from crustaceans symbolizes the small joy they can find amidst difficult circumstances.


The second half of the song reflects on the complications of love and the inability to return to a simpler, more genuine state. The singer acknowledges that forced love is not something to boast about, as it brings complications and prevents them from seeing where they came from. They sense danger in their current situation and reject the notion of seeing different angles or perspectives. The mention of an empty stomach and only being able to eat their fingers illustrates their hunger, both metaphorically and literally.

I don't understand why this woman isn't a global superstar...

jonsabine29

yeah... I'm excited...can't wait for the album... when is it out? this (although good and most certainly a 'grower') song leaves me wanting more.. there is just a hint of that extraordinary power towards the end that only serves to whet our collective musical appetites.
