It's Just Forever Lyrics

Gonna make you mine forever
Never let you leave my side
You can run, you can hide
But girl I'm gonna make you mine

It's just forever
It's just forever

I'll ever stop until you love me
Even if you treat me cold
I'll love you till we decompose
And the skin falls off our bones

It's just forever
It's just forever
It's just forever
It's just forever

Forever (Ahhh)
Forever (Ahhh)
Forever (Ahhh)
(Ahhh)

Maybe we can die together
Laying side by side
Even in the afterlife
Girl you'll still be mine

It's just forever
It's just forever

Promise that you'll never leave me
Promise that you full on need me
Bring me your hand, taste of my skin
Give me your heart like a hole in the head

Forever (Ahhh)
Forever (Ahhh)
Forever (Ahhh)
Forever
Forever
Forever
(Forever)

Cover art for It's Just Forever lyrics by Cage the Elephant

This song, as I see it, is criticizing the model of love that our society presents to us at a very young age. The 'fairy tale' kind of love, lasting forever and living happilly ever after. It shows how this idea chains people to obssession and needyness, taking away from them the lightness of living.

Of course the lyrics, read alone, point to the other direction, but the melody is what brings the understanding of being against what the lyrics say. That can be noticed in the screams in "Foreveeer (AHHH)!", it seems the person is suffering or is crazy.

The song passes the idea that this model is not love, but actually obssession, to the point that its destructive and madening. I noticed this aspect in the verses "Never let you leave my side"; "I'll love you 'till we decompose"; "Maybe we can die together"; "Even in the afterlife, girl you'll still be mine". It's an attachment that imprisons both persons involved in it.
