Never ends
Joel Ansett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me something that never ends
You would be a fool to deny
The longing that I see in your eyes
You're unsure what it's for
But you know it's for something that's real
I would be a fool if I
Was too proud to tell you that I feel it tooSafe to assume
This longing isn't new
You're always wondering why
Wondering why your heart has yet to find it's rest
Maybe your heart was made for heaven
And will not settle for less
Even if you've figured it out
And you've got what you want
Or you're chasing it now
It's a finite cure, don't we always want more
Everything here will let you down
You're always wondering why
Wondering why your heart has yet to find it's rest
Maybe your heart was made for heaven
And will not settle for less
Chasing the high that has no fall
And all of our running turned to a crawl
I feel a break that the world won't mend
Give me something that never ends
Give me something that never ends
In Joel Ansett's song Never Ends, he expresses the search for something that lasts forever. The song starts off with the repetition of the line "give me something that never ends," which sets the tone for the entire track. Ansett sings about the longing that he sees in the eyes of the person he's addressing, and reveals that he feels that same way too, acknowledging that the longing isn't new. He suggests that even if we think we've found what we're looking for or are still searching, it's a finite cure that won't satisfy us forever. Ansett posits that our hearts were made for heaven, and won't settle for anything less than a love that lasts beyond this life.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of the song by repeating the assertion that everything here on earth will eventually let us down, and that our hearts were made for something eternal. The bridge speaks to the sense of hopelessness and futility that can come with pursuing temporary highs and pleasures. Finally, the song ends where it began, with the plea for something that never ends, suggesting that the search is ongoing.
Overall, the song is a poignant and lyrical exploration of the human desire for something that lasts beyond this life. It acknowledges that we often look for that in all the wrong places, but that the longing itself is evidence of a deeper desire for eternal love.
