Alphaville’s “Forever Young”: corny 80’s pop song, or esoteric symbolism of the highest magnitude? I reject this either/or mindset by saying that it can be both.

This video is set in a post-apocalyptic time (presumably in the near future) within a run down church. Alphaville assumes the role of the new preachers as they muse on the age-old hope for eternal life. The congregation looks a bit weathered, but very pleased to hear Alphaville’s message of hope. “Let us die young or let us live forever. We don’t have the power, but we never say never.”

Sure you could call this silly, but there are some very interesting lines in this song. The fact that we are at a point in time where it appears as though eternal life can literally be achieved right here on Earth has got to make you wonder about this song. It is just too good to be true. Diamond symbolism is replete in this video, the diamond being a symbol of the perfected stone, or perfected man. Man’s divinity is heralded in the material world by his unlocking of the secrets to eternal life. “Do you really want to live forever?” Well now you can, just step through the Diamond in the sky and cross over to the Golden Age of Light. Lucy is in the sky with diamonds once again.

Oh Lucy, you just don’t quit do you? Alphaville may not be the Beatles, but they are in the same line of work. That work is to bring forth new age concepts in order that the collective consciousness may soak them up. When the world changes dramatically in the future we won’t find it surprising in the least. In fact it will seem downright familiar. Ever wonder about deja vu?

It’s doubtful that the boys of Alphaville wrote the lyrics to this tune themselves. Whoever did knows a good deal about where the future is being steered, and they are doing a good job of getting you “in tune” with what is to come.
