Eternity
Tim Mason Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I got is memories
Let the tide roll in
The world evolves around me
But I don′t spin
'Cause we live in the fantasy
It′s our destiny
Longing for eternity
Ohh I was born to live forever
Ohh I was born to be alive
Ohh I was born to live forever
Ohh I was born to be alive
All I got is memories
Let the tide roll in
The world evolves around me
But I don't spin
'Cause we live in the fantasy
It′s our destiny
Longing for eternity
Ohh I was born to live forever
Ohh I was born to be alive




Ohh I was born to live forever
Ohh I was born to be alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "All I got is memories, Let the tide roll in, The world evolves around me, But I don't spin," suggest that the singer is feeling detached from the world and its constant activity. They seem to be observing it all from a distance, perhaps feeling stagnant in their own life. However, the phrase "Let the tide roll in" could also be interpreted as a relinquishing of control or a surrender to the natural flow of life.


The following lines "’Cause we live in the fantasy, It's our destiny, Longing for eternity," imply that the singer recognizes the role of imagination in shaping their reality. The idea of living in a "fantasy" could be seen as a positive or negative depending on the context, but it seems that the singer finds comfort in the idea that they are not alone in experiencing this disconnection. They also express a desire for something eternal, something that transcends the impermanence of life.


The chorus, "Ohh I was born to live forever, Ohh I was born to be alive," reinforces these themes of longing for eternity and feeling disconnected from the world. It could be interpreted as a statement of purpose or a reminder to the self that life is meant to be lived fully.


Overall, "Eternity" is a song that explores themes of detachment, fantasy, and the human desire for permanence. The lyrics convey a sense of yearning and introspection, while the upbeat tempo of the song seems to offer a sense of hope or optimism.
