Never
Modern Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's that glowing
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
Listen and know me
We're never apart
I will always
Love you too
Try to remember




I'll always be true to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Modern's song "Never" present a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing after material wealth and superficial relationships. The first verse depicts the singer's heartache over a person who is chasing after a millionaire, believing it to be love when in reality the millionaire doesn't care about them. The second verse describes the luxurious lifestyle that this person is leading, with lavish experiences like drinking champagne and eating caviar becoming routine, but the singer warns that this is all just a facade and ultimately unfulfilling. The chorus repeats the phrase "diamonds never made a lady", emphasising the idea that material possessions cannot truly satisfy someone's deepest desires.


The song carries a feminist message, critiquing the idea that women need to rely on men and material wealth to be happy. In the context of the song, "diamonds" symbolise extravagance and excess, but the phrase can also be seen as a larger metaphor for the societal expectations placed on women to adhere to traditional gender roles and pursue material gain.


The song's overall sound is a blend of pop and rock elements, featuring bright synths, jangly guitars and a driving drum beat. The melody is catchy and memorable, balancing the sombre lyrics with a lively energy.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh my heart is crying in the night for you
I am deeply pained and mourning over your absence in the night


Oh, my God, oh don't you feel like a fool
Don't you realize that you are making a foolish mistake?


You're fooling yourself with a millionaire
You are deceiving yourself by thinking that a millionaire can offer you true love


You think it's love but he don't care
You believe that your relationship is founded on love, but he is indifferent to your feelings


And one of these days You're gonna be surprised
You will eventually be taken aback by the harsh reality of your situation


Diamonds never made a lady, lover or a friend I know it
Valuable gifts such as diamonds cannot provide true worth to a woman, a partner or even a close friend of her


Diamonds never made a lady, all your dreams will end I know it
No matter how much you cherish your materialistic dreams, diamonds won't help to actually achieve them


Your Californian nights Warm body held you tight Was just a dream
The times you spent at California, with someone holding you lovingly, were nothing but a mere illusion or dream


But all the diamond lights Can't give you peaceful lives or sweet dreams
The extravagant lights of diamonds will not grant you a life of serenity or a good sleep


Oh my God, you really think you have it made Your heart is won, with first class expenses paid
Your mind fools you that you have finally found it all with the man who's buying everything for you


You drink campaign, eat caviar A colour TV in the back of your car
You are indulging in high-end luxuries such as champagne or caviar, with even a TV in your car


But one of these days You're gonna be surpised
Some day, to your surprise, you'll come across something that you never even imagined

I love all the references to past NMT songs like Blasting Fools, Lost Pack, and Blood Vibe.

Confession time: I've actually known for a while that this album was gonna be Zelda-based. We actually had a poll exactly 4 months ago on the 99L server deciding what 82 was gonna be based off of, and it was decided to be this. Furthermore, it seems to take after the Modern Terror of a game that is BOTW (an absolutely phenomenal game might I add, easily among the Legends in gaming). Let's hope for some great tracks this album!

Happy Tree Slayer

This new album sounds amazing already

Anarchy Aria
