The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Everlasting" by the artist "Volbeat"

Contents

The song "The Everlasting" by the Danish band Volbeat speaks about accepting death and the eternal cycle of life and death. The lyrical hero, perhaps an embodiment of death or eternity, welcomes the "stranger," meaning the listener, and leads them through a metaphorical fire, symbolizing purification and transition to the afterlife.

"Light the fire!" is a call to accept the inevitable, to let go of the fear of death and meet it with an open heart. Fire is a symbol of transformation, a transition from one state to another.

The lyrics reflect the pain of losing loved ones ("To see your loved ones disappear...") and the promise of eternal memory ("Your memory will live on forever"). It emphasizes that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new stage, "an everlasting going away".

Cast the fire!

I live inside the burning flame

Perceiving what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved one disappear

Return to dust and to silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were

I'm passing you over unto this world

We're high on the mountain, let go and see

The embers' glow will set you free

Fly with the sirens and free the soul

It's the everlasting leaving home

Your memory will live forevermore

Cast the fire!

I live inside the burning flame

Perceiving what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved ones disappear

Return to dust and to silence

I'm passing you over unto this world

I welcome you stranger for what you were

Up high on the mountain, let go and see

The embers' glow will set you free

Fly with the sirens and free the soul

The everlasting leaving home

Your memory will live forevermore

You wear your scars with pride and joy

What doesn't kill you will make you strong

Sadness wins and sadness lose

You find the balance and make it yours

My life goes on, and on, and on

On and on and on

You saw the light when you were born

I step back while I truly care where you go

So you cast the fire!

I live inside the burning flame

Perceiving what you know as pain and it hurts

To see thy loved one disappear

Return to dust and to silence

We're high on the mountain, let go and see

The embers' glow, it's the everlasting

Fly with the sirens, let go of me

The embers' glow, it's the everlasting

Woah, woah oh

It's the everlasting

Woah, woah oh
