Everlasting Everything Lyrics
Everything alive must die
Every building built to the sky will fall
Don’t try to tell me my
Everlasting love is a lie
Everlasting everything
Oh nothing could mean anything at all
Every wave that hits the shore
Every book that I adore
Gone like a circus, gone like a troubadour
Everlasting love for ever more
Oh I know this might sound sad
But everything goes both good and the bad
It all adds up and you should be glad
Everlasting love is all you have
Every building built to the sky will fall
Don’t try to tell me my
Everlasting love is a lie
Oh nothing could mean anything at all
Every book that I adore
Gone like a circus, gone like a troubadour
Everlasting love for ever more
But everything goes both good and the bad
It all adds up and you should be glad
Everlasting love is all you have

In a lot of Jeff's lyrics he changes his... opinion? I guess that's the word. Well yeah, he changes his opinion throughout the song.
Observe: "Everlasting love is a lie" "Everlasting love for ever more" "Everlasting love is all you have"
He did that in the song Why Would You Wanna Live? too. As for this song, I like it a lot.
The outro-solo-thing at the end of this song is so beautiful! It sounds like birds or something, and really hopeful, if a guitar solo can do that...
It sounds like they recorded it and played it back backwards on the final mix, like hendrix did on 'Castles made of Sand'
wilcofan, youre taking 'ever lasting love is a lie' out of context. he says 'dont try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.'
Everlasting love is metaphysical, not a physical love in this song. Love in the Buddhist sense, love that transcends the past and the future. Everlasting.
Jeff Tweedy mixes up the opinions to bring you down and back up again. He's writing things of his heart and what he has seen. The truths described here can only be experienced to be learned. Read Searle's Being And Nothingness. The could is the last seed of doubt. We don't know, we feel. Nothing is total consciousness and everlasting love. He is in the books you adore and the waves on the shore. Every end is a new beginning. He carries the torch Woody and Bob are carrying. Sending out the message. The music is the evolutionary crane. Drink it in. Revolution is internal. Be alive. Love.
Interesting how Jeff saves the tearjerks as the last track on the past few Wilco albums. "On and On and On", "Everlasting Everything," "One Sunday Morning."
