Never Say Goodbye
Leatherface Lyrics

That old clock chimes.
The continual ticking of the clock is a constant reminder of how time is moving on and how one is getting older.

Begin your diatribe.
Start expressing your bitter, venomous criticism and disapproval towards someone or something that has happened.

A life full of flashbacks.
Memories of past events often come flooding back and can be overwhelming and powerful.

Has the effect of candlelight.
Flashbacks have a softening effect and can create a warm, atmospheric setting similar to the flickering of a candle.

And like in the movies.
Life can feel like it's scripted, as if everything is happening for a reason and we're just following a pre-written plan.

Music does play.
In moments of introspection, we often hear a soundtrack playing in the background that is directly tied to our emotions and experiences.

I'm walking along, alone, and I hear the theme tune play.
Even when we think we're alone, the music of our lives is still present and impacting us.

The hardest part is walking away.
Moving on can be difficult, as it often means leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown.

Turning your back on what was, what was safe.
Leaving behind a comfortable, but unfulfilling life in search of something that better aligns with one's soul and values can be scary.

When the easiest part is starting again.
In reality, starting over can be much easier than staying put and living with unhappiness or dissatisfaction.

Trying to avoid more of the same.
After a particularly difficult experience, we often try to avoid similar situations as a means of self-preservation.

And what was blamed.
At the time of a crisis, it's easy to point fingers and blame external forces or individuals for our unhappiness.

Soon becomes nonsense.
However, with time and perspective, what we once thought was the cause of our unhappiness may no longer hold weight or significance.

And what you were really thinking.
Underneath our surface level thoughts and emotions often lies the true source of our struggles and challenges.

Was I was a mess.
Admitting one's own flaws and vulnerabilities can be difficult, but it's often a necessary step toward healing and growth.

I drive and drive.
Sometimes, we feel like we're stuck in a never-ending cycle of the same issues and challenges.

Round and round my life.
We may feel like we're on a hamster wheel, endlessly spinning but never making any real progress or change.

That old clock rings time.
Time keeps moving forward, even when we feel stuck or stagnant.

Feels like Autumn.
Autumn is often associated with feelings of change, transition, and letting go, which are themes present throughout the song.

Don't you ever say goodbye.
The repeated refrain of 'don't you ever say goodbye' is a plea to hold on and not give up, even in the face of adversity and change.

No, no, no.
This final line serves as an emphatic punctuation mark, reinforcing the singer's desire to keep moving forward and not look back.
