Music Video
Edit
A music video was released with the song, depicting the four members of the band walking up to a jukebox and choosing to play the single. The vinyl record playing the song is white and depicts the face of Baymax from Big Hero 6. The concept of the music video is similar to that of Green Day's "X-Kid".
A second music video for the band's album version of "Immortals" was released on December 24, 2014, composed of scenes taken from Big Hero 6 intertwined with Fall Out Boy performing live. It was released on the 10th day of "12 Days of FOB", an event during which the band posted exclusive videos, pictures or lyrics.
Lyrics
Edit
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 of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
Ooh, I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass
Ooh, 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 immor, immortals, immor, immortals
Immor, immortals
Sometimes the only pay-off 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
Ooh, I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass
Ooh, 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 immor, immortals, immor, immortals
Immortals
Live with me forever now
Pull the blackout curtains down
We could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor, immortals, immor, immortals
Immor, immortals, immor, immortals
Immortals
