Detailed Analysis

These lyrics from Fall Out Boy's 'Immortals' (featured in Big Hero 6) are generally appropriate for most audiences. There is no explicit language, sexual content, or drug/alcohol references. The song touches on themes of loyalty, devotion, and a deep bond between individuals, using metaphors like the hourglass and 'eternal flame' to convey dedication and perseverance. The line 'pull the blackout curtains down' could be interpreted as seeking refuge or escape together, but contains no meaningful sexual innuendo in context. The references to 'fever dreams,' 'wound,' and 'sutures' suggest emotional struggle and resilience rather than anything disturbing. The overall message centers on faith, endurance through hardship, and the idea of an unbreakable connection — all values that are constructive and broadly relatable. The themes of testing one's faith and comparing past experiences to future hopes reflect a mild level of emotional maturity but nothing that would be inappropriate for younger listeners.

Lyrics

They say we are what we are But we don't have to be I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way I'll be the watcher (watcher) Of the eternal flame I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass (glass) I try to picture me without you but I can't 'Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long Live with me forever now Pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals Immortals Immortals (Immortals) Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith Is when it's tested again and again everyday I'm still comparing your past to my future It might be your wound but they're my sutures I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass (glass) I try to picture me without you but I can't 'Cause we could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long Live with me forever now Pull the blackout curtains down Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals (Immortals) And live with me forever now Pull the blackout curtains down We could be immortals, immortals Just not for long, for long We could be immortals Immortals Immortals Immortals (Immortals)
