Never Let You Go
RAC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
Turn around our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it?
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you
Turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
All our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason
It's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends
I guess we'll see
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
Turn around, our back on each other
It's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around, let's turn on each other
Good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
What a good idea
I remember the stupid things, the mood rings
The bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine
Did you cash in all your dreams?
You don't dream for me, no (goodbye, goodbye)
you don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you're pulsing like sonar
from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn, I would like to say
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to say
She's like a sunburn
(I'll never let you go) She's like a sunburn
(I'll never let you go)
She's like a sunburn
(I'll never let you go)
(I'll never let you go)
The lyrics of RAC's song "Never Let You Go" seem to revolve around the theme of a deteriorating relationship. The first verse sets the tone by describing the person they are addressing as sneaky and smoked out, implying that their true nature is becoming evident. Despite this, the singer declares that they will never let go of this person, emphasizing their determination to hold on.
The chorus reinforces this sentiment, repeating the line "I'll never let you go" multiple times, asserting their commitment to the relationship. The second verse responds to accusations of change, suggesting that even if the singer has indeed changed, there is nothing inherently wrong with it.
The lines "turn around our back on each other, that's a good idea, break a promise to your mother" highlight the conflict and tension within the relationship. It implies that the decision to turn away from each other is seen as a way to break a promise they made to their own mothers, symbolizing a deeper betrayal.
The bridge reflects on the loss of friends and the passage of time, emphasizing the realization that something is wrong with the relationship. The lyrics speculate that if there is a reason behind their actions, it is not clear to either party involved.
The final section of the song touches on memories shared between the singer and the person they are addressing. References to mood rings, bracelets, and beads evoke a sense of nostalgia. However, the mention of "Did you cash in all your dreams?" suggests that the other person may have given up on their aspirations or hopes. The song concludes with the repeated affirmation that this person is "like a sunburn," indicating a painful reminder of the past.
Overall, "Never Let You Go" portrays a complicated and troubled relationship, blending feelings of devotion, conflict, and nostalgia.
Line by Line Meaning
There's every good reason
There are numerous valid reasons
For letting you go
To separate from you
She's sneaky and smoked out
She is deceitful and under the influence of drugs
And it's starting to show
And her true nature is becoming evident
I'll never let you go
I will always hold on to you
Turn around our back on each other
To abandon and betray one another
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
That would be wise, breaking a commitment made to your mother
You say that I've changed
You claim that I have become different
Well maybe I did
Perhaps I have indeed
But even if I changed
Even in the case that I have changed
What's wrong with it?
What is the issue or problem with that?
Turn around your back on each other
To desert one another
All our friends are gone and gone
All our acquaintances have left and are no longer present
And all the time moves on and on
And time continues to pass without pause
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
And all I am certain about is that it is incorrect, it is incorrect
If there's a reason
If there is a justification
It's lost on me
I am unable to comprehend or understand it
Maybe we'll be friends
Perhaps we can still maintain a friendship
I guess we'll see
I suppose we will find out
Turn around, let's turn on each other
To betray and attack one another
All the stupid things, the mood rings
All the foolish actions, the rings indicating emotions
The bracelets and the beads
The wristbands and small decorative objects
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine
Small amounts of money, both yours and mine
Did you cash in all your dreams?
Have you given up on all your aspirations?
You don't dream for me, no (goodbye, goodbye)
You no longer have dreams involving me, no (farewell, farewell)
But I still feel your pulsing like sonar
However, I still sense your presence intensely
From the days in the waves
From the past moments spent in the water
That girl is like a sunburn, I would like to say
That girl is comparable to a sunburn, it is what I desire to express
She's like a sunburn
She resembles a sunburn
(I'll never let you go) She's like a sunburn
(I will always hold on to you) She resembles a sunburn
(I'll never let you go) She's like a sunburn
(I will always hold on to you) She resembles a sunburn
(I'll never let you go)
(I will always hold on to you)
