Never Said
BoySetsFire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And here is where I will stay until my last breath
Until my dying day
‘Cause we have nothing to lose, no reason to hide
No hope for tomorrow if not for tonight
Hold your ground an fight
Let this moment never fade away
‘Cause we’re not moving from this place
I believe our lives are still worth fighting for
We are free as long as we demand to be
There is no cost too great, there is no price too high
For the future I stand, I sacrifice
‘Cause we have nothing to lose no reason to hide
No hope for tomorrow if not for tonight
Hold your ground and fight
Let this moment never fade away
banging my head against the wall
Another leader chosen
To teach us how to crawl
Appoint a new regime with all the old rapport
Full of empty promise not worth dying for
The lyrics of BoySetsFire's song Never Said begins with a statement of resilience and defiance. The singer is declaring their unwavering commitment to their cause, willing to fight until their last breath. They claim that there is nothing to lose, no reason to hide, and no hope for tomorrow if they don't fight tonight. The lyrics invite listeners to hold their ground and fight, insisting that this moment should never fade away. The first verse serves as a rallying cry for listeners, illustrating that this is a critical moment and there is no room for complacency.
The second verse takes an even more determined tone as the lyrics state that the only way to defeat the singer is to bring tanks and invade. The singer affirms that they will not move from this place, and they believe that their lives are worth fighting for. They claim that as long as they demand freedom and fight for it, they will always be free. The lyrics boldly proclaim that there is no cost too great and no price too high for the future the singer believes in. They are willing to sacrifice everything to achieve their goals, and they refuse to hide or back down.
The final verse of the song criticizes the fickleness and insincerity of political leaders. The singer bangs their head against the wall as they express their frustration with the constant cycle of disappointing leadership appointments. The lyrics suggest that the new regime is just a repackaging of the same old promises, and not worth dying for. The song ends with a literal call to arms, as the lyrics declare, "Hold your ground and fight."

This is where I will stand
I will remain firm and unyielding in my position
And here is where I will stay until my last breath
Until I die, I will not leave this place
Until my dying day
Until the day I die
‘Cause we have nothing to lose, no reason to hide
Since we have no thing to lose, there's no need to be secretive
No hope for tomorrow if not for tonight
If not for tonight, there will be no hope for tomorrow
Hold your ground and fight
Be persistent and don't give up easily
Let this moment never fade away
Keep this instant alive and lasting
Honestly, you’ll have to bring your tanks in and invade
It will take significant effort to make us vacate this location
‘Cause we’re not moving from this place
We will not move from here
I believe our lives are still worth fighting for
I feel it's necessary to fight for our lives
We are free as long as we demand to be
We can be free if we insist on it
There is no cost too great, there is no price too high
No expense or cost is too high
For the future I stand, I sacrifice
I am willing to make sacrifices for the future
Banging my head against the wall
Doing something pointless and frustrating
Another leader chosen
A new leader has been selected
To teach us how to crawl
To force us to be subservient
Appoint a new regime with all the old rapport
Replacing one regime for another without any significance
Full of empty promise not worth dying for
Filled with promises that are meaningless and not worth dying for

I have never needed this song more in my life. Thank you. It's nice to have a reminder that there's still socially conscious music that cares about who I am, and what I struggle for. Again, thank you.

Great band. I wish more knew about them though. They deserve more recognition
Chaz Hipple
One of the greatest bands of all time. Been a fan since the 90's. Helped me form a lot of the ideals I still stand by in my adulthood. This song fits the current state of our society very well. They must have had a premonition.

They're very popular in Germany and Austria. Last November they played at a dive bar in North NJ.

Who would have thought this song written however many years ago would fit the state of our society so well now... still. The thing I love the most about the video is how there is little to no violence portrayed in all the protests depicted... if only that were the case now. Thanks for another great song BSF. Rock on my brothers.
