Forevermore
Warren Haynes Lyrics

i can feel the rain fall down
The singer is aware of the rain falling down and experiences it like tears rolling down from their eyes

like tears upon my shoulders.
The rain feels as if they are tears that have come to settle on their shoulders, adding to the weight of their sorrows

i can feel the hard wind blow,
The singer is feeling the strong and harsh winds and isn't able to escape its force, which is hitting them continuously

blow on forevermore.
The wind seems relentless, and the artist feels it will keep blowing fiercely forever

i can feel the gods look down,
The artist senses that the divine force is looking down towards them

some laugh while some are crying.
The singer is noting the two extreme responses they are getting from the divine force - laughter and tears - which is bewildering and confusing them

i can feel their wasted tears
The tears of the divine are seemingly useless and have not been able to alleviate the singer's grief or pain

cry on forevermore.
The tears are endless and keep falling without bringing any solace or relief, making the artist emotional and disturbing them even more

can't you see,
The artist is asking someone close to them to pay attention and understand their predicament

my whole world is nothing
The artist is implying that their universe means nothing, holds no meaning, since the love of their life is gone, leaving them alone and dejected

without you.
The singer is expressing their grief and loss at the absence of their loved one, whose presence has been instrumental in creating their happiness and joy

once in another past
The artist is recollecting a time of their life when things were better and happier; the moment they shared with their beloved some time back

you brought me joy and laughter
The singer is reminiscing about the good days where their partner was the source of their merriment and laughter

now that it's all used up
The singer is upset and emotional because the good times have vanished, and they have now been left with emptiness in their life

i cry forevermore.
The singer is expressing the extent of their sorrow, which appears to be eternal and unending

once in another life
The artist is reminiscing about happier times that now seem like things from another life and not the present

a paper sun is shining.
The artist is remembering a past when everything was perfect, the sun was shining bright, but it all turned out to be mere utopia or an illusion

now that it's all burned up
The singer realizes that their happiness and past memories have now disappeared or completely destroyed along with the illusionary Paper sun

darkness forevermore.
The singer is feeling trapped in unbearable darkness and sorrow, which appears not to end anytime soon

where will i run to
The artist is worried about how to move on and where to find a place to hide or escape from the agonizing pain of the loss

when i need a place to hide.
The artist is concerned about where to go, especially when they have a desire to conceal their vulnerability and desolate state from the world

far away from new york city.
The artist is contemplating getting as far as possible from their current place in life, which is adding to their distress, and perhaps that could offer some sense of relief

who will i turn to
The singer is wondering who to look up to or reach out for help to cope up with their pain and loss

now that my love is dying.

she's gone forevermore.
