Never Really Over
Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in
But I don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole
Cross my heart, I won't do it again
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line"
And I do, I do
But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line
Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it's never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done
But I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
I guess I could try hypnotherapy
I gotta rewire this brain
'Cause I can't even go on the internet
Without even checking your name
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line"
And I do, I do
But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line
I think of you
Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it's never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn't it the best?
Thought it was done
But I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time was the last
But I guess it's never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can't keep going back
I guess it's never really over, hey
Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it's never really over
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
Over you all over again
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time was the last
But I guess it's never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can't keep going back
I guess it's never really over
The lyrics to Katy Perry's song "Never Really Over" seem to speak to the universal experience of attempting to move on after a relationship has ended. The song's central message is that just because a relationship is over doesn't mean that the feelings associated with it will disappear entirely. The singer of the song is struggling to resist the temptation of thinking about her ex, and she acknowledges that she may have to go through the process of getting over him again if he comes back into her life.
The song's opening lines, "I'm losing my self-control / Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in," suggest that the singer is trying to resist thinking about her ex, but is failing. She then declares that she doesn't want to "fall down the rabbit hole" of thinking about him again. Throughout the song, the singer is trying to convince herself that she is over the relationship, yet acknowledges that she still thinks of him from time to time.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it conveys the overarching message of the song. The singer declares that "just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over," implying that feelings associated with past relationships are difficult to shake. The line "and I'll have to get over you all over again," reiterates the fact that moving on from someone is not a one-time process, but something that must be done repeatedly.
Overall, "Never Really Over" seems to be a deeply relatable song about the challenges of accepting that a relationship has ended and the difficulties of moving on from someone you once loved.

I'm losing my self control
I'm struggling to restrain myself
Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in
Your presence is slowly resurfacing in my mind
But I don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole
But I don't want to allow myself to be consumed by thoughts of you
Cross my heart, I won't do it again
I promise myself I won't give in to my feelings for you
I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, 'Draw the line'
I remind myself, repeatedly, to establish clear boundaries
And I do, I do
And I succeed, most of the time
But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line
But sometimes, I can't resist the temptation and I allow myself to go beyond my boundaries
And I think of you
And thoughts of you flood my mind again
Two years, and just like that
Two years have passed, just like that
My head still takes me back
But my mind still wanders back to you
Thought it was done
I thought it was over
But I guess it's never really over
But I realize that it's never truly over
Oh, we were such a mess
We were such a disaster together
But wasn't it the best?
But haven't we had the best moments together?
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's really over
Just because it's ended, doesn't mean it's completely over
And if I think it over, maybe you'll be comin' over again
And if I dwell on it, maybe you'll re-enter my life again
And I'll have to get over you all over again
And I'll have to go through the pain of getting over you, all over again
I guess I could try hypnotherapy
Perhaps I could try hypnosis to reprogram my thoughts
I gotta rewire this brain
I need to retrain my thought patterns
'Cause I can't even go on the internet
Because I can't even browse the internet
Without even checking your name
Without checking for any sign of you
Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we had said our final goodbye
Thought we meant this time was the last
Thought that this time, it was final
Right through you and I
Right through you and me
Can't keep going back
Can't keep looking back at our past
I guess it's never really over
I suppose it's never truly finished

@Taj Simms We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?
Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experienced after sighing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

When I heard this song for the first time I instantly fell in love with it, so many good memories. It deserved way more attention compared to what it got
@joeboxer9936
When I heard this song for the first time it was when I was starting at a new school after getting expelled from the last one.
I know it's silly lol
@zanze0x
I just heard it for the first time about an hour ago and caught me right away
@itsjackybova365
It got a lot of attention actually and was one of the biggest hits of the year 😂
@ohhiitsjustme3445
It really did. I have a feeling a lot of radio, and people in general were getting tired of her, so they really didn't give this song a chance! But it's def. an "on repeat" type of song.
@JakeCrocker
The video has 147 million views and the song went Platinum
@cruisinnewcollection-tw3ln
This song is the definition of "when you're happy you enjoy the music, when you're sad you understand the lyrics"
@tajsimms8976
This song was my break up song when it first came out so I definitely understood the lyrics 😢
