Never Coming Back
Allison Pierce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a hairbrush and some rings
Still I know there's nothing that you lack
And I know it set you free
And that's the only way to be
I know there's nothing that you lack
No look, no sigh
And I know that you're never coming back
Well the night it does play tricks
On a heart that is lovesick
As the sky is turning blue to black
And this world has lost weight
And I'm floating into space
As the sky is turning black
No look, no sigh
No kiss goodbye
And I know that you're never coming back
And I don't know what I'm trying to be
Cause all I want to be
Is with you
And the note left in my drawer
Tells of how it was before
Those days I wasn't so alone
No look, no sigh
No kiss goodbye
And I know that you're never coming back
No look, no sigh
No kiss goodbye
And I know that you're never coming back
Yes, I know that you're never coming back
The lyrics of Allison Pierce's song, "Never Coming Back," describe the aftermath of a breakup where one person has left the other, taking only a hairbrush and some rings. The singer knows that their partner has left for good and is not coming back, leaving them feeling lonely and lovesick. The night is described as playing tricks on the singer's heart, making them feel weightless and alone. The only thing left behind is a note, which reminds the singer of a time when they weren't so alone.
The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and resignation, as the singer accepts that their partner is gone for good. The repetition of the line "no look, no sigh, no kiss goodbye, and I know that you're never coming back" emphasizes the finality of the situation. The singer also expresses a desire to be with their partner again, but acknowledges that this is impossible.
The imagery in the lyrics is effective in conveying the emotions of the singer. The use of metaphors such as the sky turning from blue to black and the feeling of floating into space help to create a sense of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics also emphasize the idea that sometimes, letting go is the only way to find freedom.
Line by Line Meaning
When you went you left some things
After you left, all that remained were mundane objects like hairbrushes and rings
Still I know there's nothing that you lack
Despite leaving behind only unimportant possessions, I understand that you have everything you need
And I know it set you free
I am aware that your departure liberated you
And that's the only way to be
I believe that liberation is the only way to truly live
No look, no sigh
Without any expression of pain or sorrow
No kiss goodbye
Without a final kiss goodbye
And I know that you're never coming back
I have accepted that you will never return
Well the night it does play tricks
The night can be deceiving
On a heart that is lovesick
Especially on a heart that yearns for love
As the sky is turning blue to black
During the transition from day to night
And this world has lost weight
The world feels less real and substantial
And I'm floating into space
As if I am ungrounded and drifting away
And I don't know what I'm trying to be
I am unsure of my identity or purpose
Cause all I want to be
All I desire is to be with you
Is with you
To be by your side
And the note left in my drawer
The letter you left behind for me
Tells of how it was before
Details how things used to be
Those days I wasn't so alone
When I did not feel so isolated
Yes, I know that you're never coming back
I am certain that you will never return
