MUNA was founded by Katie Gavin (she/they), Josette Maskin (she/they), and Naomi McPherson (they/them). They hope their songs lend themselves both to the euphoric dancefoor and emo bedroom solitude.

Never
Muna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if I like love, I think I've had enough
Seems like it's alright for some, it's just I'm not one
Consider this my resignation, please consider this an end
And deliver this recitation to the one who did me in

I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I'll never love again

I'll never love again

I don't know if I like songs, I think maybe I was wrong
To think I could make it hurt less with a chorus sing-along
Consider this, 'cause this is it, as a kind of requiem
And deliver this last performance
To the source from which it stems

I'll never sing again
I'll never sing again
I'll never sing again
I'll never sing again

Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Ah, ah, oh
Ooh, ooh

Overall Meaning

In Muna's song "Never", the lyrics express a sense of disillusionment and betrayal towards love, as the singer claims not to like it anymore and that they've had enough. The singer acknowledges that while love may work for some people, it simply isn't for them. The lyrics go on to describe the act of resigning from love and addressing the person who hurt the singer, stating that this is the end. The repetition of "I'll never love again" emphasizes the singer's final decision to put an end to their pursuit of love.

Additionally, the lyrics touch on the idea of music as a form of emotional relief and the singer's realization that even singing cannot heal their heartbreak. The use of the chorus sing-along serves as a metaphor for trying to cope with heartbreak through music, but ultimately failing. The lyrics mark the end of the singer's singing career and serves as a kind of "requiem" to their past self.

The final section of the song includes repetitive "ahs" and "oohs" which function as a sort of reconciliation with the finality of the singer's decision. The overall mood of the song is one of sadness and acceptance. It acknowledges that while love and music can bring pleasure and joy, they can also cause immense pain and heartbreak.

"...Consider this - CUZ THIS IS IT - as a kind of requiem..." Freaking em dashed a song line. Who does that? Badass lyrics. (Just me) I've never heard anyone do that before in a song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💥 lyrics.
