‘Eternity’ by Alex Warren is a song about missing someone so much that time feels like it’s standing still. We’re going to look at the music, the lyrics, and the feelings behind this song together—are you ready? ⬇️
From the very first notes, the atmosphere is heavy with longing and loneliness, painting a world where the nights stretch on without end. The story unfolds in a shadowy space between memory and heartbreak, inviting us to wander with the singer through his emotional wilderness.
The chorus hits like a wave: “But it feels like an eternity / Since I had you here with me.” We feel the ache of absence, the sting of having to become “someone you don’t know,” and the desperate yearning to sacrifice anything just to return to that lost paradise. Why did the other person have to chase a light so far away, leaving us stranded in a place we can’t follow? It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, and—if we’re honest—it’s the sort of heartbreak that keeps you up at 2AM, staring at the ceiling.
⏳ In the verses, Warren’s words drip with regret and insomnia: “Every drop is a waterfall, every breath is a break in the riptide,” he confesses, each line a snapshot of sleepless nights and memories that refuse to fade. He paints moments of what could have been—those haunting “another glimpse of what could’ve been”—while also rubbing “salt in the cut,” a jarring reminder that healing is slow and sometimes impossible. There’s a restless, spiraling quality to his storytelling, as if grief itself is both the journey and the destination.
By the bridge, we’re plunged into the bleakest part of the night: “It’s an endless night, it’s a starless sky, it’s a hell that I call home.” Warren’s vulnerability is on full display here, exposing the true cost of loss—an exile from the only life he knew, walking this world alone, searching for meaning in the darkness.
✨ ‘Eternity’ captures that universal, gut-wrenching moment when love slips away and we’re left trying to make sense of a life that suddenly feels infinite in its emptiness—yet somehow, through the music, we find we’re not alone in our longing.
