I'm convincing myself more and more as I write this, it is about ''eternal'' stuff, it is the human soul crying for something to last, for something immortal and eternal to exist.
lol And since the song's title is ''everlong'' and it deals with ''the eternal nature of things'' and it sounds like a cry for something to "last." yes. And the video is about dreaming - so I think my interpretation is the best so far. I've had maybe one or two moments in my life where I felt connected to a ''higher power,'' mainly through dreams or a dream-like state of consciousness (not drugs, which are a counterfeit). Trying to apply one's ''dream'' to reality, or the ''spiritual, eternal nature of things'' to the here-and-now physical world, is what we all crave to do. They wake up from their dreams and through music-their spiritual/dream/metaphysical existence (whatever you want to call it) becomes part of their reality.
We've all had separations from good people, people we love, and we look toward God, or something more "eternal" than ourselves, for re-assurance.Īccording to the video, the two people who are singing the song have entered into each other's dreams-through dreams, they have detached from a physical extistence and entered into a spiritual/metaphysical existence, where they are in each other's dreams. The reason why people cry during this song is because it resembles a prayer-almost like reaching out to God, or something more "eternal" than this short, fleeting existence, and the love and connections we experience here-in. Thus, we continue to reach for ''something real'' ''something that can last forever.'' And Mortality, or death wouldn't exist, if Immortality didn't exist. it might not be right, but I personally think it is the best interpretation on this comment board, so here it is.ĭavid Grohl, like most humans, is reaching for something ''that can last forever'' because we intuitively realize that another metaphysical or spiritual state of being must exist- like Socrates said - you can't define ''hot'' without something that is ''cold.'' you can't define greater, without something that exists being ''smaller.'' Every single thing exists as a ''compound in one.'' Life wouldn't exist, if death didn't exist. Here's a copy of what I wrote in another post. Quite possibly the greatest song ever written-because it expresses so simply, directly, and honestly expresses what every mortal human feels from time to time-that longing for something "eternal," or something that will last ''everlong.''
