Always Yours

Banners' song 'Always Yours' is a heartfelt exploration of enduring love and connection, even when separated by physical distance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and devotion, with the city’s sleeping streets and calling streetlights symbolizing the quiet moments of reflection and yearning. The imagery of seeing a loved one's face even when wide awake suggests a deep emotional bond that transcends the boundaries of reality and dreams.

The recurring theme of distance being 'only distance' emphasizes the idea that true love is not hindered by physical separation. The metaphor of 'oceans' and 'lighthouse fires' represents the vast spaces and challenges that might come between two people, yet the reassurance that 'the dark won’t last forever' offers hope and comfort. This line suggests that despite the temporary hardships, the connection remains strong and unbroken.

The song also touches on feelings of loneliness and disorientation, with road signs in unfamiliar languages symbolizing the confusion and isolation one might feel when apart from their loved one. However, the repeated affirmation 'I’m always yours' serves as a powerful reminder of unwavering commitment and love. The imagery of 'heartbeat, spin the world around' and 'tall ships, and sunsets touch the ground' evokes a sense of timelessness and the cyclical nature of life, reinforcing the idea that no matter the distance, love will always find its way back.
