Eternal Honeymoon: A Love That Feels Like the First Time
Neriah's song "First Time" is a heartfelt ode to enduring love, capturing the essence of a relationship that remains fresh and exciting even after many years. The lyrics delve into the profound emotions that come with a deep, unwavering connection. The song opens with a reflection on love's insatiable nature, highlighting how it never loses its allure. This sets the stage for a narrative that celebrates the ease and depth of loving someone completely, a sentiment that is beautifully encapsulated in the line, "It’s never been so easy to love someone completely."
The chorus emphasizes the timelessness of their love, likening it to the perpetual honeymoon phase. This metaphor suggests that their relationship is perpetually in a state of newness and excitement, a rare and cherished experience. The imagery of falling in love like the first time, even after years together, underscores the idea that their bond is not only enduring but also continually rejuvenating. This notion is further reinforced by the line, "The night we met I swore we kissed in a past life," suggesting a love that transcends time and lifetimes.
Trust is another pivotal theme in the song. The lyrics convey a sense of security and certainty that comes with a deep, trusting relationship. The line, "With you it’s not a question, with you I finally get it," speaks to the transformative power of trust in their love story. The song paints a picture of a perfect, never-ending love, one that surpasses even the most romanticized portrayals in movies. This idealized yet relatable depiction of love makes "First Time" a resonant and uplifting anthem for anyone who has experienced or aspires to such a profound connection.
