hehe...titanic. ^^.
I like this song very VERY much. It's metaphorical & it stands out from most of the other songs I've heard on eden fire or only inhuman as it's softer.
But anyways here's my 2 cents on this song. =)
I think it's about a person who has gained much experience in life and sees the world in a cynical POV with reference to the "melancholic world". He is trying to convince someone who he cares for to realise that the world they live in isn't all rainbows and butterflie
He basically foreshadows that this person is going to make the same mistakes as himself, and is warning them to rely on those who care about you and those you care about as it's safe rather than searching for a "new horizon" which could lead that person down a dangerous, foreign and unsafe future experience, changing them completely in a bad way.
BUT then the other person retorts to this idea by questioning him in:
"Then why are there still tears in your eyes?"
and thats when the chorus begins with the person whose warning her that going down that road (a relationship or loving someone maybe?) will only lead to loss of innocence and a depressive outlook of life and the world in general and that he's just trying to make her continue to travel down the one they already know because of it's security and familiarity.
maybe it's about love and the person has had bad experience from the past in the chorus:
"I WOULD CROSS THE SEVEN SEAS
JUST TO GET TO YOU
I WOULDN'T SLEEP A THOUSAND NIGHTS
TO GIVE WHAT BELONGS TO YOU"
He's saying he would go beyong his way to reach her, to be with her but he wouldn't sacrifice his "dreams" = "I wouldn't sleep a thousand nights" to give her his heart or love maybe? idk lol.
anyways in the second verse.
"The token of all I was
I traded for my escape
To see a new horizon"
He's saying that the person he once was or was seen as in the eyes of others is no longer because as soon as he allowed himself to walk into unknown territory in search of a "new horizon" (maybe a relationship, love, or career), it resulted in a life changing experience must likely one which changed his perception of the world as harsh and cold. & most likely because of his curiosity and eagerness for change he regrets it as he's no longer the person who he once was emotionally and mentally.
and then the last few lines
"Forever isn't long enough
In the company of you"
He's telling her that even if they had all the time in the universe it wouldn't be enough for them to be together.
"Forever My heart will always beat your name". Is a contradiction as 'forever' carries negative connotations from the precious lines, Which just means that his love for this person will not last until the end of time.
