Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the light
What I saw
I couldn't face
So I closed my eyes
Wish I could turn back the page
Re-write my point of view
Don't let it escalate
Don't fight, it's just no use
There's nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone
Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place
I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over, over
I don't want you to tell me
You found someone
Cause I got no distance left to run
Wish I could turn back the page
Re-write my point of view
Save all the time you waste (got to get gone, gone)
Don't let it escalate
Don't fight, it's just no use
There's nothing left to say
Got to get gone, gone, gone
Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place
I belong
Forever is over
Over, over, over, over, over
I'm on the other side
And now I realize
I'm in paradise cause
You're out my life
Forever is over
And my hearts not gonna fight
Forever is over
And I'm no longer afraid
Cause if I don't get out now
I may never escape
Your power is fading away and
I'm getting so stuck to the place
I belong
Forever is over
The Saturdays' song "Forever Is Over" is an emotional track about coming to terms with a relationship that has ended. The lyrics explore the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape, as well as the desire to move on and start anew. The opening lines convey a sense of being lost in darkness: "I was caught in a place far away / From the light". The singer admits that they couldn't face what they were seeing, so they closed their eyes instead.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Forever is over" which suggests that there is a finality to the end of this relationship. The idea of not wanting to know if the ex-partner has moved on ('I don't want you to tell me / You found someone') shows that the singer is struggling to detach themselves emotionally from the situation. However, in the bridge, they come to the realization that they are better off without this person: "I'm on the other side / And now I realize / I'm in paradise cause / You're out my life".
Overall, "Forever Is Over" is a song that grapples with themes of heartache, loss, and moving on. It encourages listeners to let go of those who no longer serve them and to take control of their own lives.

Your power is fading away and
Your hold on me is weakening and I'm beginning to see things clearly
I'm getting so stuck to the place I belong
I'm beginning to see that without you, I'm free to be exactly where I'm meant to be in the world
I'm on the other side
I'm past the hard part and ready to move forward
And now I realize
Now I understand that it's better to be without you
I'm in paradise cause
I'm in paradise now that I'm free from the negative situation I was in
You're out my life
Now that you're gone from my life, I'm happier and free to be me
