Never Again
Russell/Lande Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Crowe)

I couldn't be anything near,
I couldn't be anything close to you.
You engender in me fear,
Fear you don't believe that my heart is true

I'll never be alone again,

That you loved me, makes me strong

You couldn't be anything near,
You couldn't be anything close to me.
I engender in you fear,
Fear you don't believe that it's meant to be

I'll never be alone again,
That you loved me, makes me strong,
I'll always be your friend
Never be alone again,
That you loved me, makes me strong,
I'll always be your friend..
Come hell or high water,
Set my soul for the gypsies daughter,

Never be alone
For once I held her

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from the song Never Again by Russell/Lande (featuring lead vocalists Jorn Lande and Russell Allen) convey a sense of fear and vulnerability in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "I couldn't be anything near, I couldn't be anything close to you," suggest that the singer feels intimidated or inferior in the presence of their partner. The lyrics then reflect a fear that the partner doesn't believe in the sincerity of their love, and a reassurance that the love they share will prevent them from ever being alone again. The repeated line "that you loved me, makes me strong" serves as a mantra or affirmation of the bond between the couple.

The second verse shifts the focus to the partner, with the singer acknowledging that they also provoke fear in their loved one. However, the same message of unconditional love and friendship is repeated, with the singer promising to never leave their partner alone again. The final lines of the song, "come hell or high water, set my soul for the gypsies daughter, never be alone, for once I held her," suggest a determination and commitment to the relationship. The imagery of the "gypsies daughter" evokes a sense of adventure and free-spiritedness, adding to the romantic tone of the song.
