NADYUSHA’s “Live Forever” grapples with the issues of temporality, human condition, and life as a flowing river, albeit in a poetic manner. The lyrics of the song are quite nostalgic and regretful since the performer is lamenting the passing of summer as well as one’s youth, saying, “The summer’s gone / And we grew older / And we’re left alone.” This serves as an introduction to the emphasis from the singer that events might occur naturally whereas the recollection of such occurrences tends to be subjective in that it creates a sense of solitude and introspection.

The illustration of the concept of time as- “running out like planes / Piercing over horizon” is one of the most gripping lines. It makes sense how it is oh so unstoppable yet is quite lovely, where the horizon is inferring to the future. The same way time runs out when something good has been experienced, the experience can take flying highs and terrible lows: ‘running out like joy when I am depressed’ offers a personal touch that soaring euphoria does not overdo.

NADYUSHA feels the courage to speak about the fears of human beings including the self- destruction such as “Always existential, / Think a lot about death / Too ashamed to mention / How I’m scared of its breath.” Consequently this makes the lyris more human since lots of people do find themselves thinking about death.

The chorus keeps rehashing the line, “And we will live forever” which might also be a desperate request or rather an escape where one feels the need to “run away” across the barriers of time. All in all, “Live Forever” is a tragically cheerful song about the inevitability of life’s endings and encourages listeners to face their fears despite staying positive through the words of the song.
