Neverland
Carson Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time
Where I was alone
Nowhere to go
And no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes,
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan—that′s what they call me.
I promise that you'll never be lonely."
And ever since that day...
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we′re bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

I am a lost boy from Neverland

And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

I am a lost boy from Neverland

And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free




Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

Overall Meaning

Carson Key's song Neverland is a journey through the imagination of a young boy as he shares his experience of being lonely and finding refuge in the fantastical world of Neverland with Peter Pan. The song's lyrics depict a time when the singer was alone with nowhere to go, and his only friend was the man in the moon who would sometimes disappear too. However, one night, a shadow, who introduces himself as Peter Pan, comes to him with a sweet smile and promises that he will never be lonely again. From that moment on, he becomes a "lost boy from Neverland," free from the constraints of reality and playing in the woods, always on the run from Captain Hook.


The use of Peter Pan and Neverland, along with the iconic fairy tale characters such as Captain Hook, is symbolic of the singer's escapism from his troubles. The lyrics highlight the idea that sometimes we find comfort in imagining and dreaming of a better world, where we can be free, without any responsibilities or worries. It also shows the significance of friendship and how it can be a source of solace and happiness during difficult times.
