Never Look Back
Groove Delight K.A.L.I.L. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got a piece of me.
I know it ain't ever coming back.
You got a piece of me; it shows that when I play with matches, I always get burned.
And when you scream these words, carved with defensiveness, the higher you build your walls, the harder they will fall.
I can taste the fear in your lips.
Can you taste mine?
Crown me, for I am a king of fools. Purge me, for I have a mountain of fear to climb.
Sober me up.
Sober.





Overall Meaning

In Groove Delight K.A.L.I.L.'s song "Never Look Back," the lyrics convey a sense of regret and pain. The first line, "You got a piece of me," suggests that the singer has given themselves to another person, but now realizes that they can never fully get that piece back. The following line, "I know it ain't ever coming back," reinforces this idea, indicating that the relationship has caused permanent damage. The next line "You got a piece of me; it shows that when I play with matches, I always get burned," likens this situation to the act of playing with fire and getting hurt, as they seem to have gotten involved with someone who has caused them pain.


The chorus of the song is particularly impactful, with the message that defenses only lead to greater destruction. The lines "And when you scream these words, carved with defensiveness, the higher you build your walls, the harder they will fall," suggest that by putting up walls of defensiveness, a person may only end up hurting themselves more. It's as if the singer is telling the other person that they need to let their guard down if they want to move forward and heal.


The final lines of the song, "Crown me, for I am a king of fools. Purge me, for I have a mountain of fear to climb. Sober me up. Sober," express a desire to be cleansed of fear and pain. Despite acknowledging their own foolishness, the singer asks to be purified, showing a resilience to overcome their insecurities and conquer their fears.
