Eternity

The lyrics describe someone grieving the absence of a loved one. Time seems painfully slow, and the speaker struggles to sleep and live with the loss. The feeling grows from raw sadness into a sense of isolation: the speaker imagines a reunion in paradise but must continue in the world alone.

Several images make the grief feel physical and overwhelming. Tears become a “waterfall,” while each breath feels like a struggle against a “riptide.” “Rubbing salt in the cut” suggests that memories or new disappointments reopen an emotional wound. The “endless night” and “starless sky” portray a life that feels dark and without direction.

The lyrics imply that the absent person has died, especially through references to paradise and “the other side,” but they do not explain exactly what happened. “Chase the light” may suggest moving toward death, though it could also be a more general image of departure. The speaker’s wish to sacrifice anything for reunion expresses devotion, but the song does not offer comfort or resolution: it leaves the tension between hope of meeting again and the loneliness of carrying on.
