Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never again ... ever again, No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again, Just leave me alone

Never again ... ever again, No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again, I′ll stay here on my own

Time to live And say goodbye I'm breakin′ loose

I Spread my wings and fly No more chains

No more lies My time is spent I 'm reaching for the skies

Living here and now No more discontent
I take one last vow This is the end

Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again,
Just leave me alone
Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again,
I'll stay here on my own
Cut the chase Wild & free Breathing space

Released from agony Final act Peace of mind

No way back I leave it all behind

Living here and now No more discontent

I take one last vow This is the end

Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again,
Just leave me alone
Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again

I say ... never again ... ever again, I′ll stay here on my own

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living here and now
No more discontent
I take one last vow
This is the end

Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again,
I say ... never again ... ever again,
Just leave me alone

Never again ... ever again,
No way ... ever again ... never again,

I say ... never again ... ever again,
I′ll stay here on my own
