Forever Young
The Motion Epic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don′t get it right
We speak in tongues
A lack of emotion
Bet it all
The rise and fall
Some got nothing left to live for
I′ll never leave you lonely
And like a live wire
We're shooting sparks in the night
Our love raises like smoke
A soft haze in the light
Forever young
So little time
And we hold on
Darlin' hold on
Come whichever
Hell or high water
I won′t feel a thing
Don′t even bother
Oh now
My walls are caving in
And these dreams are wearing thin
As I wake up to the beating of my heart
Cause don't you think
I wish I could be somebody else
Someone who you can depend on
Forever young
So little time
And we hold on
Darlin′ hold on
Our love is cold
But we're still burning strong
And we hold on
Darlin′ hold on
Forever young
So little time
And we hold on
Darlin' hold on
Our love is cold
But we′re still burning strong
And we hold on
Darlin' hold on
The Motion Epic's song Forever Young speaks about a couple who seem to face difficulties in their relationship. The first two lines of the song show that the couple just can't get the relationship right. They experience communication problems as they speak in tongues, and a lack of emotion indicates that the relationship lacks passion. The line "bet it all, the rise and fall" suggests that they have come a long way in the relationship and have seen many ups and downs.
However, the next line "don't you know I'll never leave you lonely" indicates that the couple is still holding on to each other despite the challenges. The following lines of the song suggest that their love for each other is still strong and burning. They are raised like sparks in the night and form a soft haze in the light.
The chorus of the song talks about the couple's desire to stay young forever as they hold on to each other. They will face any obstacles together, "come whichever, hell or high water," and won't let anything come in between them. The bridge of the song highlights the internal struggles of the singer, who wants to be someone his partner can depend on. In the end, the couple holds on to their love, which is still amazingly strong, despite it being cold.
