Who Wants To Live Forever
Sarah Brightman(莎拉布萊曼) Lyrics

The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's song, "Who Wants to Live Forever," discuss the fleeting nature of life and the desire for eternity. There is a sense of desperation in the lines, "There's no time for us / There's no place for us / What is this thing that builds our dreams / Yet slips away from us?" The singer is questioning why life is so short and why the things they hope for seem to slip away from them.

The chorus repeats the question, "Who wants to live forever?" as if to say, who wouldn't want to live forever if given the choice. This idea is reinforced with the line, "Now touch my tears with your lips / Touch my world with your fingertips / And we can have forever / And we can love forever / Forever is our today." The singer is suggesting that by sharing a moment of love, immortality can be achieved.

The final line, "Who waits forever anyway?" brings the song to a close with a shift in tone. The singer is acknowledging that while immortality may seem desirable, the reality is that nothing lasts forever, not even life. The song is beautiful and haunting, exploring the complex emotions that come with the knowledge of our own mortality.
