This is an older song which was initially recorded by Trooper. We had recorded the tracks in Edmonton. When we got to Florida for the mix, the Engineer who was hearing the songs for the first time, thought this song would be the first single. It never made it onto the album because of internal band politics. It’s about betrayal, referring in one verse to Delilah as the prime example of treachery.
Hey there, great contriver
Cookin’ up your brew
You served me on a platter
For everyone to view
The table’s turned
‘Cause all along I knew
Hey there, great conniver
Caught in your own web
Samson had his Delilah
But I got you instead
The table’s turned
‘Cause all along I knew
You ain’t foolin’ nobody
So don’t come cryin’ ‘round my back door
I’ve heard all of your lies before
You ain’t foolin’ nobody anymore
Hey there, great conspirer
You can play the part
But I’ll be the sole survivor
In your trail of broken hearts
The tables turned
‘Cause all along I knew
You’re in for hard schoolin’
‘Cause somehow you can’t see
The only one that you’ve been foolin’
Is yourself, it sure ain’t me

The concept of forever as finite. About promises made and broken. The chorus has a chordal turn around in it which is an homage to Paul McCartney and “Yesterday”..the whispered “remember” is a reference to “Walking in the Sand”
The sun comes up on another day
Just like they said it would
& life goes on all around me
Acting out the role I play
You said that we’d be together
‘til the end of time
A love to last eternity
You said, “forever & forever you’d be part of me”
Well, forever ended yesterday
Heavy feet drag along the drab grey sidewalk
Carry me blindly to the fray
Every day an empty cup full of heartache
Remembering the time you’d say (I remember)
You said that we’d be together
‘til the end of time
A love to last eternity
You said, “forever & forever you’d be part of me”
Well, forever ended yesterday
I used to be an optimist
Think that nothing could go wrong
Through thick and thin together
We could weather every storm
Now distant waves come crashing down
Our castle built of sand
And all my confidence has faded now
Left me wringing my hands
You said that we’d be together
‘til the end of time
a love to last eternity
you said, forever, & forever you’d be part of me
Well, forever ended yesterday
Forever ended yesterday
