Some Things Never Die
Emphatic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking out into the great unknown
In here waiting for the mystery to unfold
Because every remedy I dream of fails me
When I think I'm getting out I end up back where I was
When you were the one
And I'm so tired of feeling like

Like I can't find a reason I can justify
Because I keep hoping you'll fade in tonight - but your memory's
Always there beside me like some holy light
But no matter how hard that I try
I guess some things never die (oh!)
I guess some things never die

Here I am trying to hold in self
I'm still - more fragile than I've ever been
I know that you're never coming back but I can't
Let go of the past - my mind has got me
Stuck where it was
You're still the only one
But I'm so tired of feeling like

Like I can't find a reason I can justify
Because I keep hoping you'll fade in tonight - but your memory's
Always there beside me like some holy light
But no matter how hard that I try
I guess some things never die

It's about time that I realized open up my eyes and let you go
But deep inside I don't think we're meant to be alone

Some things have to end - some things don't survive
But I know somethings never die!

I can't find a reason I can justify
Because I keep hoping you'll fade in tonight - but your memory's
Always there beside me like some holy light
But no matter how hard that I try
I guess some things never die
I guess some things never die





Some things never die

Overall Meaning

The Emphatic song, "Some Things Never Die," delves into the lingering presence of a past love in the present. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that he is looking out into the great unknown while waiting for a mystery to unfold. He admits to dreaming up different remedies to get over the past love, but they all have failed. Despite his best efforts, every time he believes he is moving forward, he ends up right back where he began, pining after his past love.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the struggle of the singer to move on from his past love. He can't find a reason that justifies why he is still holding onto this love. Although he hopes that his past love will fade in tonight, the memory of that person remains with him like some holy light. He tries his best to move past the love, but ultimately, he realizes that some things never die.


The song ends with a resolution that the singer knows they have to learn about acceptance, open up their eyes, and let the past love go. But deep down, they don't believe that they're meant to be alone, and some things never die.
