Temperance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait,
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won??
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders,
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever, and ever
Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Forever young
In Temperance's song Forever Young, the lyrics paint a picture of youthful energy and carefree living. The opening lines invite the listener to dance and enjoy life, while also acknowledging the fragility of existence. The sentiments expressed in the song suggest a desire to live life to the fullest, without the constraints of age and mortality. The lyrics reflect on the transience of life, with the music providing solace and a means of escape for the "sad men" whose struggles are eased through listening to music.
The song also touches on the idea of powerlessness in the face of major world events, with the line "Are you going to drop the bomb or not?" reflecting the anxiety that people feel when they see global conflict looming. Despite these fears, the song encourages a spirit of hope and persistence, with the refrain "Forever young, I want to be forever young" suggesting that although youth is fleeting, the desire to maintain a youthful energy and outlook should be something everyone strives for. The lyrics contain a sense of nostalgia and yearning for a simpler time, driven by the belief that life is short and it's important to enjoy it while you can.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's dance in style, Let's dance for a while
Let's enjoy dancing for a bit in a stylish way
Heaven can wait, We're only watching the skies
We have plenty of time to think about heaven, let's just enjoy watching the skies right now
Hoping for the best, But expecting the worst
We hope good things happen, but we're prepared for bad things just in case
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Are you going to take action or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
Either we should enjoy our youth or live forever
We don't have the power, But we never say never
We may not have control, but we always keep a positive attitude
Sitting in a sandpit, Life is a short trip
Life is short and we're just taking a break right now
The music's for the sad men
The music is for those who are feeling down
Can you imagine when this race is won??
Can you imagine what life will be like when we're done with our journey?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Let's embrace the sun and enjoy the moment
Praising our leaders, We're getting in tune
We're aligning ourselves with our leaders and achieving harmony
The music's played by the madmen
The best music is often created by those who are a little crazy
Forever young, I want to be forever young
I want to hold onto my youth and always feel young
Do you really want to live forever, Forever, and ever
Do you really want to live forever, for eternity?
Some are like water, Some are like the heat
Some people are calm and soothing, while others are intense
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Some people are peaceful and melodic, while others are lively and rhythmic
Sooner or later, they all will be gone, Why don't they stay young?
Eventually, everyone will age and pass away. Why can't we all stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
Aging can be difficult without a purpose or reason to live
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
I don't want to slowly fade away with age
Youth's like diamonds in the sun, And diamonds are forever
Youth is a precious, valuable thing that should be treasured
So many adventures couldn't happen today
There are so many things we're missing out on because we're not taking enough risks
So many songs we forgot to play
We should be making more music and enjoying our lives
So many dreams swinging out of the blue, We'll let them come true
So many of our dreams seem impossible, but we'll work to make them a reality
