Never Again
Cellador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A turning point in life
So many years I tried to find it
Thinking not of what is left to see in the future
Take another chance to find
That fading light shown in the distance
As I'm walking over edge
A sea to join of wasted life
Living on a broken ledge
Deep inside a force not weak
Ever longing for a way
To break the streak that's holding me
And leads myself astray
[Chorus]:
Walking forever the life of the never
It's all clear now to me, the answer has come (alive)
One strong of heart, that'll never take follow again, never again, never again
You've seen the fellow, what a mindless mass pretender
Follow one and all alike
Trying to feel the system's calling
Assimilate with what is now, forgo all reason
Take another place in line!
Join up with all and lose your senses
One day it hit me
I would never be like that
Free to see the sense in me
Thinking not what others said
Moving to a mind pristine
That is strong of will and free
And leaving all the ones that seek
To be another sheep
[Chorus]
So many things that I have
Found waiting for me
A vision so revealing
Pure in all its majesty
Deep inside a force not weak
Ever longing for a way
To break the streak that leads myself away
[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning
Early on there came a time when I was facing
At some point in my life, I encountered a significant challenge
A turning point in life
It was a pivotal moment that determined the direction of my life
So many years I tried to find it
For a long time, I struggled to find a sense of purpose or direction in life
Thinking not of what is left to see in the future
I was not considering the possibilities that lay ahead of me
Take another chance to find
I decided to give it another try
That fading light shown in the distance
The glimmer of hope or opportunity that seemed to be receding
Falling in place was I
Things began to make sense and fit together
As I'm walking over edge
Even though it was risky, I continued forward
A sea to join of wasted life
A group of people whom I felt had not lived up to their potential
Living on a broken ledge
Stuck in a precarious or unstable situation
Deep inside a force not weak
I had a strong inner drive or motivation
Ever longing for a way
I had a persistent desire to find a path forward
To break the streak that's holding me
To overcome a pattern of behavior or circumstances that had been limiting me
And leads myself astray
That had been causing me to make choices that didn't align with my goals or values
Walking forever the life of the never
I was trapped in a cycle of not truly living or experiencing life
It's all clear now to me, the answer has come (alive)
I finally discovered the solution or direction that had been eluding me
One strong of heart, that'll never take follow again, never again, never again
I had developed a resolute, independent spirit and would never blindly follow others again
You've seen the fellow, what a mindless mass pretender
I had observed others who merely went through the motions of life without true purpose or passion
Follow one and all alike
They all seemed to be conforming to the expectations of society or others
Trying to feel the system's calling
They were seeking to fit perfectly into a preconceived notion of success or fulfillment
Assimilate with what is now, forgo all reason
They were willing to sacrifice their own dreams or goals in order to conform and be accepted
Take another place in line!
They were content to blend in and not stand out in any significant way
One day it hit me
At some point, I had a revelation or epiphany
I would never be like that
I realized that I did not want to live a life devoid of true purpose or passion
Free to see the sense in me
I had the freedom to truly understand and embrace my own potential
Thinking not what others said
I was not swayed or influenced by the opinions or expectations of others
Moving to a mind pristine
I was actively working to cultivate a clear and focused mindset
That is strong of will and free
One that was resolute and independent, with a sense of personal freedom
And leaving all the ones that seek
I was distancing myself from those who were content to merely follow and conform
To be another sheep
Those who were content to be passive and unremarkable, in contrast to my own active pursuit of purpose and passion
So many things that I have
I had discovered numerous opportunities and possibilities
Found waiting for me
That were waiting for me to take advantage of them
A vision so revealing
I had a clear sense of what I wanted to accomplish and experience in life
Pure in all its majesty
It was a truly profound and inspiring vision
