IMMORTAL
V1
I WANNA BE IMMORTAL
LIKE A GOD IN THE SKY
I WANNA BE A SILK FLOWER
LIKE I’M NEVER GONNA DIE
I WANNA LIVE FOREVER
FOREVER IN YOUR HEART
AND WE’LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
FROM THE END TO THE START
PRE
THAT’S WHAT WE DO IT FOR
TO RESERVE A PLACE
IT’S JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
THAT’S WHAT WE DO IT FOR
TO RESERVE A SPACE
IN HISTORY IT’S JUST
PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
RACE, RACE, RACE, RACE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORY THAT I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
V2
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY
THEY’LL ALWAYS LEAVE TOO SOON
BUT A MEMORY, A MEMORY
CAN MAKE A FLOWER BLOOM
WE WANNA BE REMEMBERED
DON’T WANNA LIVE IN VEIN
BUT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
THIS WORLD IS IN A LOSING GAME
PRE
I WANNA MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY ELSE
FEEL A SIGNIFICANCE IN THE REAL WORLD
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE OUT A LUCKY LIFE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORY THAT I WAS YOURS AND YOU WERE MINE
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
MIDDLE 8
NO, I DONT WANNA BE AFRAID, AFRAID TO DIE
I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE
OH, ALL THESE THINGS THAT HUMANS DO
TO LEAVE BEHIND A LITTLE PROOF
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT DOESNT DIE IS LOVE
CHORUS
I’M FOREVER CHASING AFTER TIME
BUT EVERYBODY DIES, DIES
IF I COULD BUY FOREVER AT A PRICE
I WOULD BUY IT TWICE, TWICE
BUT IF THE EARTH ENDS IN FIRE
AND THE SEAS ARE FROZEN IN TIME
THERE’LL BE JUST ONE SURVIVOR
THE MEMORIES OF OUR LIFE TIME
EVERYBODY DIES
CHASING AFTER TIME
SO KEEP ME ALIVE
SO KEEP ME ALIVE
SO KEEP ME ALIVE
About the song:
A sparkling ballroom ballad that deals in existential motifs, "Immortals" is another impressive cut and arguably the darkest thing she's ever written. "It's a really universal issue discussing how you leave your mark and how it's really important to preserve memories and remember people," she says, offering an explanation of its genesis. "I started writing that song when I went to a war memorial in Poland. Something that somebody I was with just struck me... they said 'It's not a very beautiful memorial, but it deserves to be visited to keep their memory alive.' That's how the song - well, the lyrics - started."Source2
