Forever & Ever More

Nothing But Thieves' song 'Forever & Ever More' delves into the dark and passionate realms of love and desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship that thrives on intensity and rebellion. The opening lines set the stage with the protagonist finding themselves in a precarious situation, only to encounter a mysterious woman adorned with a metal cross. This imagery suggests a blend of danger and sanctity, hinting at the complex nature of their connection.

The recurring theme of darkness and the metaphor of a 'feral heart' emphasize the wild and untamed aspects of their love. The protagonist is drawn into this world, willing to follow the woman 'down into the dark,' signifying a readiness to embrace the unknown and the potentially destructive nature of their bond. The mention of the sun being 'boring' contrasts with the allure of the night, further highlighting the appeal of the forbidden and the unconventional.

The chorus, with its repeated questioning of 'What did you think when you made me this way?' reflects a sense of existential wonder and perhaps a hint of blame towards a higher power or fate for their intense emotions. The plea to be held close 'when we get to the gates' suggests a desire for eternal togetherness, transcending even death. The term 'draculove' cleverly combines 'Dracula' and 'love,' evoking a sense of vampiric, eternal passion that is both consuming and everlasting. This song captures the essence of a love that is as thrilling as it is dangerous, a bond that promises to last 'forever and ever and more.'
