Immortals

The lyrics describe an intense bond between two people who want to make their time together feel lasting, even though they know it cannot last forever. The speaker sounds devoted and protective, but also aware of time passing and of the pain that may come with losing the other person. The repeated idea of being “immortals” expresses a wish to escape ordinary limits, not a literal promise of endless life.

The hourglass image makes time feel physical: the speaker is like sand running through it, suggesting that life is slipping away. Calling themself a “watcher” of an “eternal flame” and a “guard dog” of the other person’s dreams suggests loyalty and protection. “Your wound, but they’re my sutures” means the other person’s hurt affects the speaker too, who wants to help mend it.

There is a tension between “forever” and “just not for long.” This may show how love can feel permanent in the moment while remaining vulnerable to time. “Pull the blackout curtains down” could suggest shutting out the outside world to stay close together, though it may also hint at retreating from reality. The lyrics leave open whether this closeness brings comfort, fear, or both.
