Never Fade Away
John O'Callaghan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never fade away
Never fading out
Stars aren't so bright
When you're not here
I'll wait forever, my dear

Your light, your light
Your light, your light
May never disappear

Carry on through the night
Tomorrow you'll find




A healed heart and a calming mind
A ray of light this world will not decline

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John O'Callaghan's song Never Fade Away talk about the longing and yearning for someone or something that has left a deep impression and impact on one's life. The lyrics imply that the person being sung to is the light in the singer's life, a source of inspiration and hope. Their absence is felt greatly, making everything dull and dim. But despite the ache and pain of missing them, the singer promises to wait for them forever. The repetition of the phrase "your light" emphasizes the idea that the person being sung to is a beacon of light that guides the singer through the darkness.


As the song progresses, the optimistic tone gradually comes through as the singer assures that the pain will pass, and there will be healing, a calming of the mind, and ultimately, perhaps even a brighter tomorrow. The lyrics imply that although the person might not be present physically, their impact and legacy would never fade away, and their light would shine bright forever.


Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to someone who has had a profound impact on the singer's life, and it encapsulates the bittersweet experience of missing someone dearly while finding solace in their memory and the hope that they bring.
