And my word break your will
And the heart break me over this wheel
They are coming down
Wait for
Hand in hand in hand in hand
Wait for
They are coming down
But we will
Never never never land
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a
Ticket to Syria
I had everything within my reach
I had money and stuff
Each and every call
Too much but never enough
Tear it up and watch it fall
They are coming down
Wait for
Hand in hand in hand in hand
They are coming down
Wait for
They are coming down
But we will
Never never land
With our backs to the sky
And our eyes on the ground
With the clouds far below
No horizon around
With the wind in our face
And our arms open wide
We shall pass through this place
To the other side
All the days of our lives
All the ways of our calling

The song "Never Land" by The Sisters of Mercy is a dark, introspective piece that explores themes of desperation and the desire for escapism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person on the edge - someone whose nerves are frayed and whose will has been broken. The line "And the heart break me over this wheel" is particularly striking, suggesting a sense of fatalism or helplessness in the face of a difficult situation.
Despite this feeling of hopelessness, the song's chorus suggests that there is still some small glimmer of hope - "They are coming down, but we will never never land". This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea that, no matter how difficult life becomes, there is always a way to escape the darkness and find a place of peace.
The final verse of the song is perhaps the most uplifting, with the line "We shall pass through this place to the other side" suggesting that, eventually, we will all find a way to move beyond our troubles and reach a place of greater understanding and contentment.

And when your nerves break your thought
When you're feeling overwhelmed and your thoughts become scattered
And my word break your will
When my words have the power to control your actions and decisions
And the heart break me over this wheel
When my emotions are so intense that they feel like they're crushing me
They are coming down
The structures that we have built up are starting to crumble
Wait for
Just hold on and wait for what's to come
Hand in hand in hand in hand
We should face this together, supporting each other
But we will Never never never land
We will not be bound by the limitations of the physical world, we will transcend and escape
I had a face on the mirror
I had an identity that I projected to the world
I had a hand on the gun
I had the power to take control of my own life and end it if I so chose
I had a place in the sun and a Ticket to Syria
I had a comfortable life and the means to travel anywhere I wanted
I had everything within my reach
I had all the material possessions I could ever want
I had money and stuff
I had wealth and material possessions
Each and every call
Every offer or opportunity that came my way
Too much but never enough Tear it up and watch it fall
Although I had everything, it wasn't fulfilling and I took pleasure in watching it all fall apart
With our backs to the sky
We are no longer held down by gravity, we are free to move in any direction
And our eyes on the ground
We are still connected to the Earth and must be mindful of our surroundings
With the clouds far below No horizon around
We are in a dreamlike state where the laws of physics do not apply, everything is surreal and unpredictable
With the wind in our face And our arms open wide
We embrace the unknown and face it head on, with open hearts and open minds
We shall pass through this place To the other side
We will transcend this reality and enter a new realm of existence
All the days of our lives All the ways of our calling Follow...
We will continue on our journey, exploring new possibilities and discovering our true purpose
