Never Ever
Josh Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't really care about me
On edge of a rocky slide and I know
That it's gonna be a long time
Break down but you won't break down cuz I know
That you won't be scared tonight
You won't break me
You won't break down
From me to you, I never liked the taste
Of love from you, it was like 100 days
Whoa, whoa, I never liked the taste
Never ever loving you again
Bang bang from your rocket ship it ascends
Left me down below now
Each time that you give time to reflect
End up being without you
Can't tell if I love or hate what you do
But I know I'm real scared tonight
You won't break me
I won't break down
You won't take me down
From me to you, I never liked the taste
Of love from you, it was like 100 days
Whoa, whoa, I never liked the taste
Never ever loving you again
Never ever... again
Never knew it'd be this way but I know
I don't really care about you
On edge of a slippery slide and I know
Yeah
Hey! Ho! I never liked the taste
Of love from you, it was like 100 days
Whoa, whoa, I never liked the taste
Never ever loving you again
In the song "Never Ever" by Josh Crawford, the lyrics reflect a tumultuous and toxic relationship that the singer has experienced. The first verse sets the tone by expressing the disconnect between the singer and their partner. Despite the singer knowing what it's like to be in the relationship, they feel that their partner doesn't truly care about them. The reference to an "edge of a rocky slide" and the anticipation of a long time ahead indicate that this relationship is heading towards a difficult and challenging journey.
The chorus reinforces the singer's resilience and determination not to be broken by their partner's actions. They are convinced that their partner won't be able to intimidate or overpower them emotionally, inspiring a sense of empowerment within themselves. The line "from me to you, I never liked the taste of love from you, it was like 100 days" suggests that the love they received in the relationship was unsatisfying and left a bitter aftertaste.
The second verse highlights the aftermath of the relationship. The mention of a "rocket ship" ascending and leaving the singer behind symbolizes their partner moving on and leaving them feeling abandoned. Each time they try to reflect on the situation, it only leads to more pain and a sense of emptiness without their partner. The contradictory feelings of love and hate towards their partner further emphasize the complex emotions they are grappling with.
The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the sentiment that the singer will never again subject themselves to the detrimental effects of loving their partner. The repetition of "never ever" suggests a finality and determination to break free from the cycle of a toxic relationship.
The song concludes with a verse that captures the singer's newfound indifference towards their partner. They express that they no longer care about their partner, and the reference to an "edge of a slippery slide" signifies that they have reached a point where they are ready to let go and move on. The energizing interjection of "Hey! Ho!" adds a touch of defiance and liberation to the lyrics.
Overall, "Never Ever" explores the emotional rollercoaster of a toxic relationship, from the initial realization of being uncared for to the ultimate decision to break free and never love their partner again. The lyrics encompass feelings of resilience, empowerment, and a desire to move on from a damaging love.
