Eternity
Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A death wish has been ingrained
Almost with our first breath
We are taught to expect our last
Science has done its best to choke off
The true instincts of mankind
Death is impatient and thoughtless
Embrace the gifts before you
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within
Lost site of the bounty before us
Boundless resource of pleasure and plenty
Living for an intangible
In a future clouded with doubt
One step forward is one step
deeper into the grave
Breathe, breath of life
The lyrics of Shadows Fall's "Eternity Is Within" offer a dark perspective on humanity's relationship with its own mortality. The opening lines suggest that people have been conditioned to accept death as an inevitable outcome of life, to the point where it has become a subconscious desire. The stanza goes on to say that science has played a role in this process by suppressing human instincts that might lead to a rejection of death.
The chorus offers a different perspective, urging the listener to embrace what pleasure and joy can be found in life, rather than being fixated on the idea of an afterlife or some other transcendent state. The song argues that eternity is not something to be sought after in the future, but is instead found within the present moment.
In the second stanza, the lyrics explore the idea that people are often blind to the richness of their own lives, instead focusing on abstract goals that may never be attainable. The final lines suggest that every step we take brings us closer to death, making each moment all the more precious.
Overall, the song offers a stark contrast between the inevitability of death and the possibility of living fully in the present.
