Never
COSBY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I head down the road
away from it all
my head seems to explode
I need to get away
I need to get far away
You did it again
it drives me insane
and I think I will lose it
if we go on like this
what went wrong?
I used to be so strong

I never would have thought
it would ever get this far
I feel like all alone
by myself
and you never would have thought
it would ever get this far
you left me all alone
by myself

I will never ever ever
feel whatever ever ever
I used to feel
I can't even remember what it was
I think it's better better better
I leave forever ever ever
and I ain't come back
to that disaster I left

there's nothing to say
and nothing to do
we both took the distance to get to an end
I'm confused
what is the truth

I never would have thought
I would ever give us up
we lost eachother way back somewhere
and you never told me what
I really meant to you
just got the strange feeling
you wouldn't care

I will never ever ever
feel whatever ever ever
I used to feel
I can't even remember what it was
I think it's better better better
I leave forever ever ever
and I ain't come back
to that disaster I left

the road is long
and leads to another fight
we're captives in
our own disaffection
come on let's go




and carry it out tonight
so this will be finally over

Overall Meaning

The COSBY song "Never" is about feeling trapped in a relationship that has gone sour. The song opens with the singer feeling overwhelmed and needing to get away from their partner. They feel like they're losing their mind and cannot continue in the same way. The chorus echoes this sentiment, highlighting how far things have gone and how alone the singer feels. They don't want to give up on the relationship but acknowledge that they've already lost each other.


The second verse delves into the despair the singer feels when they realize their partner doesn't care about them anymore. There's nothing left to say or do, and they're left to wonder what the truth is. The chorus repeats, emphasizing how the singer can't go back to feeling the way they used to and needs to leave the relationship forever. They're done with the disaster they left behind.


The final verse closes the song by acknowledging that the relationship is beyond saving. They've been trapped in their own disaffection for too long and need to let go. The final line of the chorus, "so this will be finally over," provides a sense of closure and finality to the song.
