Never Again
Fight (90s) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See how they run.
Fools search for nothing,
Stare at the sun.
See how they run
There's none for me
Stare at the sun
We take them in
And, we turn the screw
Talk to the madmen,
Fill them with lies.
Now pay the piper,
As honesty dies.
See how they run
There's none for me
I, stand with you
Stare at the sun
We take them in
And, we turn the screw
Never,
Never
Blood on their hands
Never
Into quicksand.
What's left to dream for,
This endless line.
Ladders to nowhere;
Blind lead the blind.
See how they run
There's none for me
I, stand with you
Stare at the sun
We take them in
And, we turn the screw
See how they run
Stare at the sun
Fill them with lies;
As honesty dies.
Never,
Never
Blood on their hands
Never
Into quicksand
The lyrics of Fight's song "Never Again" describe a world where people are foolishly searching for something without understanding what they truly want. The frenzied masses are metaphorically represented as individuals running in panic, without any particular destination in sight, while the singer and a trusted companion stand together unaffected. The song suggests that there is no place amongst the chaotic running for those who are not in tune with their inner selves.
The second verse refers to people in positions of power using deceitful means to mislead and control the masses. The line "fill them with lies" represents how political figures, for example, may promise improvement and progress, but in reality, they have neither the intention nor the ability to do so. The singer implies that the consequences of the incompetence and dishonesty of leaders can be grave, with blood on their hands and society slowly sinking in the quicksand of lies and deceptions.
Overall, the song encourages individuals to strive for enlightened independence, rather than blindly following the crowd, and to be wary of those in power who manipulate the truth, leading others further into chaos and eventually causing harm.
Line by Line Meaning
Mind's eye in darkness,
In a state of blindness and ignorance
See how they run.
Observe as they blindly follow others
Fools search for nothing,
Those without purpose seek in vain
Stare at the sun.
Look towards a false source of guidance
See how they run
Observe as they blindly follow others
There's none for me
I refuse to join them
I, stand with you
I choose to stand with someone who shares my values
Stare at the sun
Look towards a false source of guidance
We take them in
We deceive them with false promises
And, we turn the screw
We tighten our grip on them
Talk to the madmen,
Converse with those who have lost their way
Fill them with lies.
Mislead them with deceit
Now pay the piper,
Reap the consequences of one's actions
As honesty dies.
As truth becomes irrelevant
Never,
Not ever
Blood on their hands
Responsible for causing harm
Into quicksand.
In a trap from which escape is difficult
What's left to dream for,
What is there to aspire to
This endless line.
This meaningless cycle
Ladders to nowhere;
Dead-end paths
Blind lead the blind.
Those who lack perspective are guiding others who lack perspective
Fill them with lies;
Mislead them with deceit
As honesty dies.
As truth becomes irrelevant
Never,
Not ever
Blood on their hands
Responsible for causing harm
Into quicksand.
In a trap from which escape is difficult

Mind's eye in darkness,
See how they run.
Fools search for nothing,
Stare at the sun.
See how they run

And, we turn the screw
Talk to the madmen,
Fill them with lies.
Now pay the piper,
As honesty dies.
See how they run
There's none for me
I, stand with you
Stare at the sun
We take them in
And, we turn the screw
Never,

What's left to dream for,
This endless line.
Ladders to nowhere;
Blind lead the blind.

Stare at the sun
We take them in
And, we turn the screw
See how they run
Stare at the sun
Fill them with lies;
As honesty dies.
