Never Again
Cerebral Fix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never never never again
Never never never again
Unanswered cries of help panic and desperation
Lazel and stricken survivors search for lost families
Choking lust crazy with thirst drinking from poisoned pools and streams
The opening lyrics of the song "Never Again" by Cerebral Fix are haunting and poignant. It describes the aftermath of a catastrophic event, perhaps a nuclear attack or the aftermath of a war. The "blinding light" and "firestorms" suggests a cataclysmic event that has devastated the area. The "agonised crying" highlights the suffering and pain of the survivors who have to endure the aftermath of the catastrophe. The repetition of the phrase "Never never never again" creates a sense of despair and hopelessness that the event should never occur again.
The lyrics of the song then describe the aftermath of the event, with "unanswered cries of help panic and desperation". The survivors are looking for their lost families, and there is a sense of disorientation and confusion in their search. The people are "choking lust crazy with thirst drinking from poisoned pools and streams", which highlights the scarcity of resources and the desperation of the people to survive. The song's lyrics paint an apocalyptic vision of a world devastated by war or environmental catastrophe, and the message is clear: "never again."

An amazing return back from the dead. 10/10 for this - I am looking forward to what the new material will sound like since Simon left the band but this new song is superb.

Old Skool (first album) Fix were a mandatory support for a lot of death, grind, doom bands way back, nice to hear a return to form. Fix to me is 'You Cerebral Fix OOH' and 'GOOOO'!

Love it. Been a fan since I was a little skate rat in Brum back in the late 80s. I used to look up to Greg a lot (well, he is 9ft tall) back then.
