Never Look Back
Andre Andersen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tear my life apart, push me until I'll fall
Step by step, day by day, now it's time to break away
Never look back, while you can hear my call
Never look back, until the final curtain'll fall
Never look back, now you can leave it all
Never look back, just leave and never come back
You can tell me lies, you can waste my "bread"
Only in my eyes you're as good a dead
Tear by tear, laugh by laugh, now I think I've had enough
The lyrics of Andre Andersen's song "Never Look Back" seem to be about a relationship that has gone sour. The person singing is addressing someone who has hurt him or her. The first lines indicate that this person has already caused a lot of pain, but despite this, the singer is determined to break free. The imagery of tearing someone's life apart, pushing them until they fall, or "raping their soul" (which could mean stealing their passion or creativity), suggests that this person has caused significant damage.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated phrase "Never look back," reinforces this idea of leaving the past behind. The singer is telling this person to leave and never come back, indicating that the relationship is over, and there is no chance of salvaging it. The use of the phrase "while you can hear my call" suggests that the singer senses the other person's hesitation and is urging them to make a clean break before it's too late. The second verse reinforces this idea with lines like "you can tell me lies, you can waste my bread," indicating that the singer no longer trusts this person and wants them to go away.
Overall, "Never Look Back" is a song about letting go of something that is no longer healthy or productive. While the specifics of the relationship are left open to interpretation, the song's message is clear: sometimes, the best thing to do is move on and never look back.
