Released as a single on August 18, 2023, ‘Eternity’ was one of the tracks that built anticipation for Lil Dew’s second studio album, Eternal Sleep (October 27, 2023). Alongside singles like ‘Get Found,’ ‘Situations,’ and ‘Don’t Wanna Know’ (feat. Nazfunk), it showcased the darker, introspective tone...
[Intro]
Ohh-ohh-ohh-woah
Ohh-woah-ohh-woah
[Verse 1]
Eternal sleep has got me falling to pieces
I can’t find out a reason to stay
(To stay)
‘Cause lately I don’t wanna
(I don’t wanna)
Ever go find another person that can tell me
How to decide that I want it in that way
I pulling out new cards just hoping I don't stray
I said, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
Ever see anybody around only worried that forever
I won’t hear a single sound
I’m really just hoping that
I’ma be at peace and I’ll be down
[Bridge]
Years go by I still can’t tell the time
With every second passing by
This world when I hear feelings inside
I just wanna feel numb
[Chorus]
I know that when that time flies by
I’ll die but I keep wishing for eternal sleep
‘Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
As time flies by I’ll die
But I keep wishing for eternal sleep
‘Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
[Verse 2]
I can’t tell between a second or an hour
But when I’m on Earth, the time devours me
Until I’m in a void
Now I see Earth, I just hope I don’t destroy
My life and everything all up in it while I’m here
When i make a decision
I don’t which way i’ma steer
Still fight and try with all the time I have on Earth
But when I die, I hoping that it’ll conquer all my fears
[Bridge]
I need somebody to tell me what to do
When they ask me about my personality
Walking in the room, people I don’t know
I don’t ever wanna talk, keep looking for
Another escape when I get another thought
[Verse 3]
Years go by I still can’t tell the time
With every second passing by
This world when I hear feelings inside
Only medicine make it through
In this life that’s a right
Overthinking everything that I decide
Head down, i’ma put it up and make it right
When I can’t I keep on thinking that when
[Chrous]
That when that time flies by
I’ll die but I keep wishing for eternal sleep
‘Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
As time flies by I’ll die but
I keep wishing for eternal sleep
‘Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
[Bridge / Breakdown]
Time flies by I’ll die but
I keep wishing for eternal—!
Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
As time flies by I’ll die but
I keep wishing for eternal sleep
Til the end of all eternity, I’ma be okay
[Outro / Refrain — softly]
Eternal sleep has got me falling to pieces
I can’t find out a reason to stay
‘cause lately i don’t wanna
(i don’t wanna)
Ever go find another person that can tell me
How to decide that i want it in that way
I pulling out new cards just hoping I don't stray
(stray—stray…)
