Never Again
Glisha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Replaying old conversations in the dark
I wanted to know you
'Cause you knew me best
But you only remember
How I get undressed
I hate that you never open up
Tell me if you were playing games with my head
'Cause this could've been easier
But you hurt me instead
And I could set a thousand boundaries with you
Still running off and starting over makes me blue
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
Never again
Never again
Now I talk to you in my dreams
The only place you haunt me is in my sleep
When I'm awake, I forget you're here
In the back of my mind, the root of my fears
And I have set a thousand boundaries with you
Still running off and starting over makes me blue
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
Never again
Never again
I don't know what to do
What steps I take to forget you
Some days I feel like it'll never go away
I know it's her you're hung up on
But every night I grab my phone
One call away from asking if you feel the same
And I could set a thousand boundaries with you
But running off and starting over makes me blue
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
Never again
Never again
The song "Never Again" by Glisha explores the pain and frustration of being in a one-sided and emotionally manipulative relationship. In the first verse, the lyrics express the singer's disappointment in their partner's lack of emotional intimacy. They longed to truly know their partner and be known in return, but all their partner seems to remember is their physical appearance. This highlights the skewed priorities and superficial nature of the relationship, leaving the singer feeling unfulfilled and unimportant.
The second verse delves into the lingering impact the toxic relationship has had on the singer's psyche. Even in their dreams, they cannot escape the presence of their partner. The mention of forgotten presence during wakeful moments suggests that the relationship has left a deep-rooted fear or trauma that continues to affect them. The repeating pattern of setting boundaries with their partner, only to see them disregard those boundaries and start over, brings a sense of frustration and sadness.
The bridge of the song reveals the singer's struggle to let go of their feelings for their partner. Despite knowing that their partner is involved with someone else, they still find themselves tempted to reach out and ask if their feelings are reciprocated. This internal conflict represents the difficulty of moving on from a past love and the lingering hope that things might change.
Overall, "Never Again" exposes the pain of being in a one-sided relationship where emotional connection is lacking, boundaries are repeatedly broken, and memories of the relationship are hard to forget. The song captures the frustration and struggle of trying to move forward while still yearning for a love that may never be reciprocated.

I hate that I wonder how you are
I despise the fact that I constantly find myself contemplating about your well-being
Replaying old conversations in the dark
Recalling past discussions in the depths of darkness
I wanted to know you
I yearned to truly understand you
'Cause you knew me best
Because you had the deepest understanding of who I truly was
But you only remember
However, you solely remember
How I get undressed
The moments when I expose my vulnerability
I hate that you never open up
I loathe the fact that you never reveal your true emotions
If you could be honest just this once
If only you could be sincere for once
Tell me if you were playing games with my head
Inform me whether you were toying with my thoughts and emotions
'Cause this could've been easier
Because this could have been simpler
But you hurt me instead
However, you chose to inflict pain upon me
And I could set a thousand boundaries with you
I am capable of establishing countless limitations with you
Still running off and starting over makes me blue
Nevertheless, constantly fleeing and beginning anew leaves me feeling melancholic
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
How can I erase the memories I promised to cherish eternally
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
I turn back and experience detachment when I make the decision
Never again
To never repeat those actions again
Now I talk to you in my dreams
Nowadays, I converse with you solely in my dreams
The only place you haunt me is in my sleep
The only realm in which you continue to linger is in my slumber
When I'm awake, I forget you're here
When I am conscious, I manage to forget your presence
In the back of my mind, the root of my fears
Yet, deep within my thoughts lies the origin of my anxieties
And I have set a thousand boundaries with you
And I have firmly established countless boundaries with you
Still running off and starting over makes me blue
Nonetheless, continuously running away and commencing anew fills me with sadness
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
How can I let go of the memories I vowed to hold onto indefinitely
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
Regretting my choices and experiencing detachment when I make up my mind
Never again
To never repeat those actions again
I don't know what to do
I am unsure of how to proceed
What steps I take to forget you
Which actions should I take in order to erase you from my mind
Some days I feel like it'll never go away
On certain days, it seems like these feelings will never fade
I know it's her you're hung up on
I understand that it is another person you are fixated on
But every night I grab my phone
Yet, every night I reach for my phone
One call away from asking if you feel the same
Just one phone call away from inquiring whether you share the same emotions
And I could set a thousand boundaries with you
And I could establish countless boundaries with you
But running off and starting over makes me blue
However, evading and commencing afresh fills me with sadness
How do I forget the memories I swore I'd keep forever
How can I let go of the memories I vowed to cherish forever
Turn back and feel detached when I decide
Returning and feeling disconnected when I make a choice
Never again
To never repeat those actions again
