Never Ever
Heroin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My decision, still make me a liar
My reasons still make me (rhymes with tire)
Better never for now and ever,
An extreme to hold, but we all grow is old
Nothing more to leave behind, not a stone unturned
Was nothing ever learned?
Is there no solution?
Is there no consolation?
All I can say is never ever again.
But no, I cannot pretend.
I can say it again and again and again.
It never ever goes away.




Not even in the time that's passing by.
Not even in time.

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Never Ever," by Heroin, create a sense of self-doubt and introspection as the singer admits to being a liar and having reasons that make them tire. This could refer to a personal struggle with addiction, and the shame and guilt that often accompany it.


The chorus seems to suggest an internal conflict, with the singer acknowledging their desire to change and grow, but also feeling trapped and unable to escape their destructive tendencies. The repetition of "never ever" creates a sense of finality and resignation, as if the singer has given up hope of ever truly improving themselves.


The final lines of the song suggest a sense of time passing by, but with no real progress being made. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the cyclical nature of addiction, with the singer feeling trapped in a never-ending cycle of relapse and recovery.


Overall, "Never Ever" is a powerful and poignant song that explores the complex emotions and struggles of addiction.
