Never Again
Catatonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
NEVER AGAIN AM I GONNA HAVE FAITH IN YOU
CAUSE YOU LIED, YOU STABBED ME IN THE BACK
AND I GAVE, WHAT DID I GET BACK?
NEVER AGAIN - SAY IT'S YOUR CREDIBILITY
NEVER AGAIN - LISTEN, YOU DON'T OWE ME A THING
YOU KNOW IT HURTS, JUST WINDS UP AND SHOOTS YOU
TRUST AND HONOR, JUST WORDS TO YOU I GUESS
YOU KNOW SOMETHING? YOU'RE SHIT
NO MORE, NO LESS
NEVER AGAIN
NEVER AGAIN - I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHERE WERE YOU, WHEN I WENT THROUGH HELL
DID YOU GO GO..FAR AWAY FROM ME
AND IN THE END, I GUESS
I GUESS I'M STILL LEARNING, BUT
DON'T EVER CALL ME FRIEND AGAIN
SO WHAT NOW, DO I STAND HERE
AND FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF
OH NOANOTHER CHANCE
NEVER
The lyrics of the song "Never Again" by Catatonic express a sense of betrayal and disappointment towards someone the singer trusted and believed in. The first two lines establish a clear stance of the singer towards this person - they will never trust them or have faith in them again. The reason for this decision is revealed in the next line - they lied and stabbed the singer in the back. The singer feels like they gave something to this person but did not receive anything back in return.
The refrain of "never again" is repeated twice in each stanza, emphasizing the permanence of the singer's decision. They are firm in their decision and even assert that the other person's credibility is at stake. The singer mentions the hurt caused by someone close to them and how they only see words like "trust and honor" as just words to this person. The bridge section of the song questions where this person was when the singer needed them, and it ends on a note of determination - the singer will not feel sorry for themselves and sees this as another chance to move forward without this person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never Again" express a sense of betrayal and disappointment but also a strong stance towards moving forward without someone who has proven untrustworthy. The powerful refrain of "never again" reinforces this theme throughout the song.
