Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Top of the morning too
By the catacombs
You and I
It's do or die
Skies are grey, so you flew a kite
We knew
And I'll take
I won't awake
And I know
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time, I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
Vengeance never comes, ooohh
The lyrics to "Never" by 21 Savage feat. XXXTENTACION are a reflection on the struggles that come with life and the inevitability of death. The opening line, "Sing me a sad song," sets the tone for the rest of the song - one of sadness and despair. The mention of the catacombs and the phrase "do or die" signify a sense of urgency and danger, indicating that the singer and their loved one are facing a difficult situation. The line "skies are gray, so you flew a kite" suggests the use of an escape mechanism or coping mechanism to deal with the difficult circumstances.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You, I, we die," highlighting the inevitability of death and the fact that it affects everyone equally. The phrase "this time I'll fly" could either be interpreted as the singer accepting their fate and moving on peacefully or as a last stand against the circumstances they're facing. The repetition of "vengeance never comes" at the end of the song implies a sense of hopelessness and resignation - there is no justice or closure to be found, only the acceptance of death.
Overall, the lyrics to "Never" are a poignant reflection on the human condition, the struggles we face, and the inevitability of our own mortality.
