If the lease was in Kerry it could be a "Shelburne Lease". These arose from the Grand Lease of 1696/7 when 195,000 acres was out leased by the Pettys. This lease and many subsidiary leases were in perpetuity.

Daniel O'Connell bought one of the subsidiary leases in 1837. The wording states "with a covenant for perpetual renewal on the fall of each life for ever" - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-C9W3-8?cat=185720

These leases were challenged in the courts through the middle of the 18th century but were allowed to stand.

This was Kerry. Should I just look in this index for my townland in look for similar wording?

this is a listing in the Ordnance Survey Names Book that says "lease renewable forever," ie. this is not a lease of lives.

Methinks you are on a wild goose chase. You are misunderstanding/misinterpreting.
The "lease renewable forever"  **IS** almost certainly a lease of lives, one renewable forever.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean (or how that would work)

It has been explained several times over within this thread.  The lease is for lives. When a life dies, another life can be nominated to replace the deceased life That is what makes it renewable forever.

Thanks. I must have been too stupid to pick it up the first few times.
