The song "Forever" by Edguy expresses feelings of loneliness, longing, and the desire for love and connection. The lyrics describe a person sitting by the window, waiting for the light of day and the sound of silence. The faint candle light represents the hope and flicker of love. The protagonist is driven to madness by the pain of being alone, and tries to pass the time but seconds feel like ages. They wonder why humans long for someone to embrace and to say both hello and goodbye to. This longing serves as a distraction from bad memories and drives them to carry on. The song explores the search for love and a deep connection, questioning if there is anybody out there who will keep looking for them. The lyrics also mention the possibility of someone lying about their feelings to give the protagonist hope. The protagonist is willing to shed tears and endure heartache if it brings them closer to seeing the light and finding happiness. They acknowledge the coldness of the night, but they cannot resist the urge to go and search for their love, asking where they are now. The song highlights the internal struggle of building emotional walls to protect oneself from pain, while also yearning for love and connection. Despite trying to stay alone, the protagonist admits that every time they look into their love interest's face, they relapse and are caught in their feelings again. In the end, the protagonist carries on with hope and the belief that seeing their love interest smile gives them the courage to believe in love once more. The song ultimately portrays the resilience and determination to continue seeking love, despite the challenges and heartbreak that may come along the way.
