Song Lyrics That Mean Something Wildly Different Than You Thought

And it sure sounds like it’s about a powerful relationship.

The idea of saying “forever’s gonna start tonight” to another human being is, to me, terrifying, but then again, maybe that’s why I’m still so incredibly, unbearably lonely.

But, uh, it’s about vampires.

 

Okay, so there is something messed up in saying “forever’s gonna start tonight.” Songwriter Jim Steinman was working on a Nosferatu musical and just re-purposed the lyrics for Bonnie Tyler.

That means that forever is literal because this song was initially called “Vampires in Love” and was about getting bitten and becoming an immortal creature of the night. Sexy. Source
