Never Again
Nocturnal Rites Lyrics

Father, father, help me
Asking for assistance from a father figure.

I have sinned again
Confessing past wrongdoings.

I just killed my last friend, can I go, can I go?
Hypothetically admitting to having killed someone and wanting to escape the consequences.

Father please relieve me
Continuing to ask for forgiveness.

From this cross I bear
Referring to the weight of the sin that's weighing them down, causing guilt.

Couldn't help myself, can't we let it be?
Justifying the sin as something they couldn't resist and wanting to move on from it.

No, never again
Declaring a strong desire to not repeat past mistakes.

Never the same, my friend
Acknowledging that things won't be the same after the mistake has been made.

I owe my lesson learned
Recognizing that there's a lesson to be learned from the past mistake.

I'll never crash and burn again, again, again
Promising to avoid making similar mistakes in the future and repeating it for emphasis.

Father, father hear me
Addressing the father figure again.

I am on my knees
Showing humility and remorse.

All our dirty secrets, I won't tell, I won't tell
Assuring that they won't reveal any confidential information.

I got the shortest straw here
Feeling like they were unlucky and ended up with the worst consequence.

You're really nowhere near
Implying that the father figure can't relate or understand what they're going through.

To each his own, I'm better off alone
Accepting that everyone has their own burdens and choosing to deal with it independently.

You'll never, you'll never learn
Implying that the father figure won't ever understand or learn from their mistakes.

Just burn your bridges
Recommending that the father figure completely cut all ties and connections.

I'll never, I'll never fall again
Making a firm statement about not falling into the same mistake again.

Shall we let it be?
Asking if it's time to move on and let go of the past.

Never again
Repeating the main theme and promise to not repeat past mistakes.
