She never came back
College Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahh-ah
[Repeat]
At the start of the morning
Before the sunrise was yawning
The dream was now fading
Like there she goes
She never came back
She never came back, yeah
She never came back
She never came back, yeah
Segments came in a day dream
Wondering if it's what it seems
What if there's no other one out there
No other feelings untrue
Lift up your heavy curtain from those hazy eyes
One soul you're losing control like there she goes
She never came back
She never came back, yeah
She never came back
She never came back, yeah
So, when will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
When will you come back again
Oh oh oh oh oh...
The lyrics to College's song The energy story seem to explore feelings of loss and confusion. The first verse sets the scene at the start of the morning, with the dream fading away like someone who has left and not returned. The repetition of "She never came back" highlights the sense of longing and disappointment.
The second verse introduces a daydream, questioning whether the feelings experienced are real or imagined. The line "lift up your heavy curtain from those hazy eyes" suggests that the person is struggling with clarity and perspective. The chorus once again repeats the phrase "She never came back", emphasizing the repeated absence of this person.
The final verse seems to plead for the person to return, with the repeated question "When will you come back again?" The use of "you" as opposed to "she" suggests a personal connection to this person and a desire for them to come back into the singer's life. The repetition of "oh" and "ah" at the end creates a sense of unresolved tension and longing, reflecting the overall mood of the song.
Overall, The energy story seems to be about the experience of loss and the search for connection and meaning in the midst of confusion and uncertainty.
