I love every song that Marina and the Diamonds has produced, and after I heard this song, I'm just like, "Hey, what the heck, it's perfect for this situation." So here we are…
-Tris' POV—
All I feel is numbness. I have no way of telling time in this blinding white light. I miss him; no person has ever felt— or will ever feel — the grief I have felt missing him in the past few months, or what I assume to be months. I'm lost. I'm lost in the never-ending bright light, yet shadowing sorrow. I wander and wander through nothingness hoping to find anything, but more importantly, anything related to living contact. I understand that I have died, and I accept that. I understand that it was for a greater cause, bigger than me, my friends, or any other individual. It was for everyone. I understand and accept that I had to leave everyone, including the love of my life who will always hold my heart in his hands, and I will hold his heart in mine. What I will not accept will be to move on. Aside from my parents, everyone I cared about is hopefully still alive. Call me selfish, but I don't want anyone to forget about me, or what I did for everyone. Although I don't want anyone to forget me, I also don't want anyone to grieve for me; they have their entire lives to live without me and should move on.
I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start
That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history it's just
Part of the human race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
No I don't wanna be afraid,
Afraid to die, die, die
I just wanna be able to say
That I have lived my life, life
Oh, all the things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
Love, love
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time
So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive
