After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene. Their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew them attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The White Stripes used a low-fidelity, do-it-yourself approach to writing and recording. Their music features a melding of punk and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo is also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which features a simple color scheme of red, white, and black.
The White Stripes' discography consists of six studio albums, two extended plays (EP), one video album, 26 singles and fourteen music videos. The band has sold approximately 12 million albums worldwide, 2 million in the US alone, and their latest three albums have each won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
On February 2, 2011, the band announced on their website that they had disbanded.

Forever for Her
The White Stripes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if I knew what to do, then I´d do it
But the point that I have, I´ll get to it
And forever for her is over for me
Forever, just the word that she said that means never
To be with another together
And with the weight of a feather it tore into me
Then I knew it
On the wings of a feather that flew it
Fell onto my shoe it cut up into me
Well, everybody´s reaction is changing you
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you
So let´s do it, just get on a plane and just do it
Like the birds and the bees and get to it
Just get out of town and forever be free
Forever, I wonder we could stay together
It could change if you want for the better
Just turn down my shirt and lay down next to me
I blew it
And if I knew what to do, then I´d do it
But the point that I have, I´ll get to it
And forever for her is over for me
Forever, just the word that she said that means never
To be with another together
And with the weight of a feather it tore into me
Well, everybody´s reaction is changing you
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you
Well, let´s do it, let´s get on a plane and just do it
Like the birds and the bees and get to it
Just get out of town and forever be free
Forever, I wonder we could stay together
It could change if you want for the better
Just tug at my shirt and lay down next to me

He admits to making a mistake in the relationship, and he wishes he knew how to fix it. He is stuck in a rut, unable to move forward until he faces the reality that the relationship is over. He experiences pain and heartbreak as a result of the split, but he feels that there might be another chance for him and his former partner in the future.
The lyrics convey a sense of regret and longing. The singer of the song feels the weight of what he has lost, and he is aware that he may have let the love of his life slip away.

I blew it
I made a mistake
And if I knew what to do, then I´d do it
I wish I knew how to fix it
But the point that I have, I´ll get to it
I have a plan to make things right
And forever for her is over for me
She doesn't want to be with me anymore
Forever, just the word that she said that means never
She doesn't think we'll ever be together again
To be with another together
To be in a relationship with someone else
And with the weight of a feather it tore into me
Her words hurt me deeply
Then I knew it
I realized what she meant
All the work that it took to get through it
It was hard to get over her
On the wings of a feather that flew it
The littlest thing can trigger my emotions
Fell onto my shoe it cut up into me
Her rejection felt like a physical wound
Well, everybody´s reaction is changing you
Other people's opinions are influencing you
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you
I have more love to give you than they ever could
So let´s do it, just get on a plane and just do it
Let's run away together and start over
Like the birds and the bees and get to it
Let's make love like nature intended
Just get out of town and forever be free
Let's leave everything behind and start a new life
Forever, I wonder we could stay together
I still hope we can be together forever
It could change if you want for the better
Our situation could improve if we work on it
Just tug at my shirt and lay down next to me
Let's forget about everything else and just be together

This is the song that plays in my head everytime I ask a girl out for coffee and she turns me down.
@maxxxmodelz4061
Just wait till you think you find the "one" and spend years of your life with her only to find you were wrong. I'd rather be turned down a thousand times than experience that pain once.

@Maxxx Modelz Jesus I hope this advice is headed..

@ActAccordinglyNow
My girlfriend and I listen to this song in the middle of a serious conversation and we both broke down, cried and hugged each other. Now we are grateful we got to know what each other is now feeling
