Never Say Never
Dn'A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Depression made it hard
My friends made me a thief
Now am I a leafless tree
A world without seas

I had a girlfriend with a fucked up relationship
Hopefully am I going to smoke some shit
Alcohol and nicotine
Normally do they sell gasoline
We were the unknown
We never came back home
So we tried to use our phones
So we destroyed our friendship and got pretty lone
Help us mrs. jones
Can't feel my bones
Can't can't feel no pain again
Help us mrs. jones
Can't feel my bones
Can't can't feel no pain again

Depression made it hard
My friends made me a thief
Now am I a leafless tree
A world without seas

I wanted her to pick up the phone
She didn't cause she wasn't alone
That made broken bones
I'm talking about my bones
I locked her at home
I still don't wanna go home
So we're chillin' at the zone
Yeah, I feel alone but I'm not alone
The only thing I can hear is a Hello?
She loved cellos
And my friend over there smoke cigarillos
My Smokers made me a healer
Feels like I'm taking pain killers, uh-oh-uh-oh
Death didn't ask me for health
Just for wealth
I remember that I hated myself

Depression made it hard
My friends made me a thief




Now am I a leafless tree
A world without seas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dn'A's song "Never Say Never" depict the struggles of the singer with depression and the negative influence of their friends. The opening lines express the difficulty that depression brings, making it hard for the singer to navigate through life. The following line "My friends made me a thief" suggests that the singer's friends may have influenced them to engage in unethical or illegal activities, causing them to lose their sense of integrity. This line could also metaphorically represent how the singer's friends stole their innocence or moral compass.


The line "Now am I a leafless tree, a world without seas" portrays a sense of emptiness and isolation. The metaphor of a leafless tree symbolizes a loss of vitality and growth, while a world without seas signifies a lack of emotions or depth in their life. It reflects the feeling of being stuck in a desolate and barren existence.


The following verses delve into the singer's troubled romantic relationship. They express the hope of seeking temporary relief through smoking substances, such as marijuana. The references to alcohol and nicotine highlight the singer's attempt to escape their emotional pain. The line "Normally do they sell gasoline" suggests that these substances, like gasoline, can fuel destructive behavior.


The lyrics also touch on the deterioration of the singer's friendship and the ensuing loneliness. They mention trying to use their phones to connect with others, but inadvertently destroying their friendships in the process, leaving them feeling isolated. The reference to Mrs. Jones implies seeking help or guidance from someone who could potentially offer solace, but the singer feels disconnected even from their own body, unable to feel their bones or any physical sensation. This emphasizes the profound emotional numbness they are experiencing.


Overall, "Never Say Never" captures the despair, self-destructive patterns, loneliness, and emotional emptiness that the singer grapples with in the face of depression and problematic relationships.
