Never
Pinchpoint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A perverse pledge of what was to come
Your lonely soul, so full of disgust
I couldn't have seen your need to dispel
The urge to strip off this consuming hell
An early transfer of the flesh to dust
Did you see my face before you came down?
Why did you think you would be free?
Did you even think?
I could never touch you
I could never feel you now
I could never hold you
I could never save you now
A final ending with nothing to say
But treasures in life are yours to betray
A selfish transfer of the flesh to dust
What did you think before you hit the ground?
Did you see my face before you came down?
Why did you think you would be free?
Did you even think?
I can never touch you
I can never feel you now
I can never hold you
I can never save you now
The lyrics to Pinchpoint's song Never speak to feelings of remorse and missed opportunities in a relationship, particularly during a time of crisis. The singer of the song speaks directly to the person who has died by suicide, expressing regret for not being there when they needed them the most. The opening line "I should've been there when you came undone" suggests that the singer may have been aware that their partner was struggling with some personal demons but was not able to provide the support and help that was needed.
Throughout the song, the lyrics provide glimpse into the pain and confusion that may have been felt by the person who committed suicide. The line "Your lonely soul, so full of disgust" suggests that the person who died may have felt alone and trapped, with no way out of their own despair. The lyrics "What did you think before you hit the ground? / Did you see my face before you came down? / Why did you think you would be free? / Did you even think?" further emphasize the confusion and desperation that may have led to the suicide. The singer's own feelings of helplessness and sadness are expressed in lines such as "I could never touch you / I could never feel you now / I could never hold you / I could never save you now."
The song ends with the realization that the person who committed suicide has left nothing behind but a selfish act that betrays the treasures of life. The line "A selfish transfer of the flesh to dust" suggests that the person who died may have been focused solely on their own pain and struggle, without considering the impact their death would have on others. The chorus repeats the fact that the singer could never reach or save the person who died, emphasizing the finality of the act of suicide.
