Cover art for The Everlasting lyrics by Volbeat

The song here explores the concept of mortality, the cyclical nature of life, and finding solace in eternal memories. The song uses the imagery of fire to represent the burning flame of life and the pain it brings. The fire within them embodies both the pain and the ability to make loved ones disappear into dust and silence; This is a reference to the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. Later, the phrase of being "high on the mountain" symbolizes a heightened state of consciousness or clarity, urging us to let go of worries and embrace the journey, with the glow of the ember representing the eternal flame of memories that will always remain, even when our dearly departed are gone. It urges us to wear our scars with pride and use past challenges to build strength; Sadness comes and goes, but the key in life is finding balance.

Overall, it's a reflection on the transient nature of life and the enduring power of memories, encouraging you to embrace the cycle of existence, find strength in adversity, and let go of woes, knowing that the everlasting fire that is their memory will always remain.
