Forever and Ever
The Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mother I'm the castaway
Washed up on the beach
Of defeat by the waters
Where the warm sand will Caress
My thoughts and conforts from Doubt
My friend ideology
Didn't make it she sank
During the storm

Forever and ever
Out of control
Forever and ever
We'll fight to break down the walls

Mother lead me
I've fought for so long
To break the walls
Now I'm afraid of the fields
My feet are stuck in the quicksand of Depression
But you know that going is the only way
For those who have found
Their house burning down

Forever and ever
Out of control
Forever and ever
We'll fight to break down the walls

Mother help me
The merchants at the Temple
Are building an alibi
For the slaughter
Last night m brothers
Flew over the border
But fire devoured
Their tin wings

Forever and ever
Out of control




Forever and ever
We'll fight to break down the walls

Overall Meaning

The Gang's song "Forever and Ever" is a powerful expression of helplessness, struggle, and the eternal quest for freedom. The opening lines, "Mother I'm the castaway / Washed up on the beach / Of defeat by the waters," presents a vivid image of a person who has been tossed aside by the forces of life and is struggling to find his footing. The metaphor of the beach and the water serve to express the emotional turmoil and the sense of overwhelming sorrow that the singer is feeling.


The following lines, "Where the warm sand will caress / My thoughts and comforts from doubt / My friend ideology / Didn't make it, she sank / During the storm," are a poignant reflection of the futility of relying on fixed beliefs and ideologies to see us through life's challenges. The warm sand is a metaphor for the comfort and solace that we seek when we are in pain, but the sinking of ideology during the storm suggests that these beliefs are often unable to withstand the onslaught of the real world.


The chorus, "Forever and ever / Out of control / Forever and ever / We'll fight to break down the walls," is a defiant proclamation of the human spirit's unyielding nature. The idea that we are out of control speaks to the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life, while the resolve to fight and break down walls represents our boundless courage and strength.
