Never Say Never
Fades Away Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will fit the mold of cookie-cut hypocrisy and lies
You see right through love
No one understands you
No one takes the time to show you
That you're beautiful inside
You've got no place to hide
We'll turn our backs on the world
He'll call a witness to the stand
And He swears he won't say a word
If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
All the faces, they don't see
Looking deeply through the mirror
With their tainted set of eyes
You can't help but know
Such a lonely ending
Ignorance is bliss when
All that's left is superficial life
We're the same, you and I
When the day is all over
We'll turn our backs on the world
He'll call a witness to the stand
And he swears he won't say a word
If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say
Say Goodbye
We'll look back in time and wonder
If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
The lyrics in Fades Away's song "Never Say Never" contain themes of loneliness, feeling misunderstood and different, and the desire to escape the difficulties of life. The lyrics suggest that the world is full of "cookie-cut hypocrisy and lies" and that love is impossible to see through. The singer states that "no one understands you" and "no one takes the time to show you / that you're beautiful inside." The refrain "never say never say never again / we'll fade into the night / and hope that you'll remember / (say goodbye forever)" implies a desire to escape the hardships of life and leave everything behind.
The lyrics also mention a witness being called to the stand and swearing not to say a word, which could be interpreted as a reference to being judged in some way. The lines "all the faces, they don't see / looking deeply through the mirror / with their tainted set of eyes" suggest that the world is full of people who are unable to see beyond the surface and that the only option is to fade away into the night.
Overall, the lyrics in "Never Say Never" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the world, and a desire for escape and a new beginning.

If you can reach my hand

(Say goodbye forever)
We'll part ways permanently
Never say never say never again
Don't deny the possibility of reunion
We'll fade into the night
Our presence will gradually vanish
And hope that you'll remember
And aspire for you to recollect us
All the faces, they don't see
Everyone fails to comprehend
Looking deeply through the mirror
Introspectively analyzing oneself
With their tainted set of eyes
Through their obscured and prejudiced viewpoints
You can't help but know
You inevitably recognize
Such a lonely ending
An isolated conclusion
Ignorance is bliss when
It's better not to be aware when
All that's left is superficial life
Only shallowness remains
We're the same, you and I
We share similarities
We'll look back in time and wonder
We'll reflect and speculate
Never say never say never again
Refrain from rejecting the idea of reunion
Say Goodbye
Bid farewell
