Eternity

Rain City Drive's song 'Eternity' delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, using vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the emotional turmoil experienced by the couple. The opening lines, 'Staring at the Sun / Your arms around my neck,' set a scene of intimacy juxtaposed with tension, hinting at the underlying struggles that will unfold throughout the song. The waves breaking against the rocks symbolize the inevitable conflicts that disrupt their silence, while the reference to reading the situation 'like a crime scene' suggests a deeper investigation into the causes of their discord.

The lyrics further explore the theme of struggle with lines like 'Glassy eyes are open / Signs of our struggling' and 'Stones thrown like weapons / Quieted suffering.' These phrases paint a picture of a relationship marred by anger and resentment, where both parties are aware of the issues but feel powerless to resolve them. The metaphor of taking on water until they sank illustrates how their unresolved problems eventually led to their downfall, despite their potential to 'live for an eternity' together.

The song also touches on themes of regret and longing, as seen in the lines 'The dead do not dream / But I might as well try / To find you again / When the sea meets the sky.' This suggests a yearning to reconnect and find closure, even though the relationship has reached its end. The repeated refrain, 'I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be with anybody but you,' underscores the deep emotional attachment and the pain of separation. Rain City Drive's 'Eternity' is a poignant exploration of love, conflict, and the enduring hope for reconciliation, even in the face of insurmountable odds.
