Never Say Never
Saints and Strangers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it takes my tongue
When it trips on me
And it fills my soul
When it takes me in
And I get so high
When I get so low
And I get so low
When I get so high
It's takin' my soul
And it's taking me all
And it's leavin' me cool
They're always leavin' me cold
And it washes away
All the things that you do
Was all coming to get
?

Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
I'm never coming back, uh
Never coming back
I'm never coming back again
Never coming back

And I get so low
And I get so high
And it takes my charm
And it takes my mountain
And it takes me heart
For myself to warn
But the dress is cold
I'm the seventh son
And it fills the bills
And it takes me down
And it takes me all
And it takes me down

Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back
I'm never coming back, uh
Never coming back
I'm never coming back again
Never coming back

And the flames get hot
And the flames get high
And the flames get high
And the flames get higher
And it drags me low
Ah, it feels so good
Please take me away
?
It takes me high
Like I'm floating deep
And it takes me low
And it takes my sleep
And I'm feeling high
And when we get high
Things cave in ?

Never coming back
Never coming back




Never coming back
Never coming back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Say Never" by Saints and Strangers convey a sense of emotional contradiction and turmoil. The opening lines describe the singer's struggle with their own words, how their tongue stumbles and trips when they try to express themselves. However, those same words have the power to fill their soul and take them to a heightened state of euphoria. The juxtaposition of getting so high when feeling so low suggests a complex emotional rollercoaster that the singer experiences.


The lyrics also touch on the theme of detachment and feeling distant from others. The line "And it washes away all the things that you do" implies that the singer feels detached or unaffected by the actions of others. They feel left cold and alone when others abandon them. The repetition of "never coming back" furthers the idea of detachment and a refusal to return to a certain state or situation. It reflects a refusal to be pulled back into a cycle of emotional highs and lows, a desire to break free and move on.


Overall, the lyrics of "Never Say Never" explore the conflicting emotions and detachment that the singer experiences. It delves into the power of words, the highs and lows of emotions, and the determination to break free from a turbulent cycle.
