Theme
The album's closing meditation on immortality and eternal commitment. The song poses a profound question: if given the choice to live forever, would you take it? It explores the paradox of eternity—that if death is not the end, then all commitments become infinite and unchanging. More broadly, it advises acceptance that nothing is truly immortal, and that we should cherish and enjoy what we have while it lasts, a fitting conclusion to Prequelle's themes of mortality.
Lyrics
Can you hear me
say your name, forever?
Can you see me longing
for you, forever?
Would you let me touch
your soul, forever?
Can you feel me longing
for you, forever, forever?
I know the light
grows darker down below.
But in your eyes
it's gone before you know.
This is the moment
of just letting go.
She said,
"if you had life eternal".
Can you hear me
say your name, forever?
Can you see me longing
for you, forever?
Would you let me touch
your soul, forever?
Can you feel me longing
for you, forever, forever?
We dance once more,
I feel your hands are cold.
Within your heart,
a story to be told.
This is the moment
of just letting go,
this is the moment
of just letting go...
Can you hear me
say your name, forever?
Can you see me longing
for you, forever?
Would you let me touch
your soul, forever?
Can you feel me longing
for you, forever and ever?
Forever...
