The Warning
Neverending White Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In moments I forget, I'll tell you what it takes
But you don't want to know this yet
I let the virus bite someone else's brain
I invade you now
I fade you out
I made you now
I erase you now
Still, those pattern repeat
They'll leave you all, leave you all in pain
And now I can't recall if someone would have said
I invade you now
I take you down
I make you now
I erase you now

These moments make you cry for someone else's life
They over feed you all until you die
They say they love you but they all love you, no way
Your cuts will drain your heart away

Take someone else's life away
Someone else's life away

You had a warning
You didn't want it
You can't come crawling back now





You had a warning that you wanted

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neverending White Lights's song The Warning are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest the invasion of the mind and the influence of external forces that can destroy a person's soul. The first two verses mention the forgetfulness of the singer and how he has the power to infect others. He also talks about fading someone out and eventually erasing them. The third verse seems to bring in the idea of addiction, where the person becomes dependent on others who will ultimately drain them to their core. The song ends with a warning that the person had received but ignored, leading to their downfall.


The song's lyrics are cryptic, but they suggest themes of power, dependency, and loss. The verses describe a person who has the ability to alter or erase someone's existence through invasive tactics, such as taking over their mind. The repeated lines of the chorus, "You had a warning, you didn't want it, you can't come crawling back now," suggest that the person suffered the consequences of ignoring their premonitions.
