Never Let You Go
心灵蒙蔽(Third Eye Blind) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
Turn around your back on each other
You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I know it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around let's turn on each other
Good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
What a good idea...
I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no (goodbye, goodbye) you don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to say
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to say
She's like a sunburn
She's like a sunburn
The lyrics of "Never Let You Go" by Third Eye Blind tell a story about a relationship that has gone sour due to the girl's sneaky behavior and substance abuse. The singer recognizes that it's time to end the relationship, but he also expresses his reluctance to let go. The lines "I never let you go, I never let you turn around, our backs on each other" show his determination to hold on despite the issues they are facing. The song also touches on the idea of changing and how it is not always a bad thing, but can still be perceived negatively by others.
The chorus, "That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother, turn around your back on each other," highlights the conflicting emotions and thoughts that often arise during a breakup. The singer is aware that breaking up is the right thing to do, but he also acknowledges the guilt that comes with it. He recognizes that it is a betrayal of sorts to break a promise to someone, even if the promise is to simply "never let you go."
The final lines of the song, "She's like a sunburn, I would like to say," give the impression that despite the hurt and pain of the situation, the singer has been left with bittersweet memories of the relationship. The comparison to a sunburn suggests that the girl left a lasting impression on him, whether it was positive or negative.

I recall the silly things we did together, like wearing mood rings and matching jewelry. Did you give up everything you wish to achieve? You don't have any dreams for us anymore. But, I still have your feelings for me ingrained in me from the good times we had.
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to say
The girl is like a sunburn

That girl I loved was like a sunburn, but now that she's gone, all I can say is that she burned me.
