Never Again
Sam Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And beyond the clouds I saw a glimpse of a star I thought I took
Until all I have to think about is just what might have been
I thought I’d see you one more time before never again
Never again will I see you in the light
Never again will anything shine as bright
Until that day we meet again I’ll just sit and spin
Here beside you in the morning watching the sunlight steal away
I know not what the day will bring only what the night will take
Does it matter that I love you or that I’m jealous of what might have been
I thought I’d see you one more time before never again
Never again will I see you in the light
Never again will anything shine as bright
Until that day we meet again I’ll just sit and spin
I thought I’d see you one more time before never again
In these lyrics, Sam Lewis expresses a sense of longing and regret for a missed opportunity to reunite with someone he deeply cares about. The first stanza sets the tone by describing a small window, possibly symbolic of a limited perspective or a narrow chance of reconnecting with the person he yearns for. He mentions seeing a glimpse of a star that he thought he had obtained, but now all he can think about is what could have been. He laments the fact that he won't see this person again and reflects on the moments that could have been shared before it's too late.
The chorus repeats the theme of never seeing the person in the same light again, emphasizing the loss and the absence of something precious. The metaphorical shine of their presence is gone, and the singer is left to wait until the day they may meet again. In the second stanza, he is beside them in the morning, observing the sunlight vanish, symbolizing the passing of time and opportunities. Uncertainty fills his mind about what the day holds, but he is certain about what the night will take away, hinting at missed chances and unfulfilled desires. He ponders whether it matters that he loves this person or if his jealousy stems from what could have been if circumstances were different. The lyrics conclude with the repeated idea that he thought he would have one more chance to see them before never seeing them again.
Overall, "Never Again" delves into the emotions of longing, regret, and the weight of missed opportunities in a relationship. These lyrics capture the bittersweet nature of realizing a missed chance too late and the desire to hold onto one more moment with someone before they become permanently out of reach.
Line by Line Meaning
There’s a window here beside me and it’s smaller than it looks
In my current situation, I have limited opportunities and the potential outcomes are not as grand as they appear
And beyond the clouds I saw a glimpse of a star I thought I took
Amidst difficult circumstances, I caught a fleeting glimpse of success that I believed I had achieved
Until all I have to think about is just what might have been
Now all that occupies my thoughts is contemplating the possibilities that could have materialized
I thought I’d see you one more time before never again
I hoped for another chance to encounter you before the opportunity is lost forever
Never again will I see you in the light
I will never have the chance to see you again with joy and optimism
Never again will anything shine as bright
Nothing will ever possess the same level of brilliance and radiance
Until that day we meet again I’ll just sit and spin
In the meantime, I will remain stagnant and uncertain, awaiting the day when we cross paths once more
Here beside you in the morning watching the sunlight steal away
Being in your presence in the morning, witnessing the gradual disappearance of sunlight
I know not what the day will bring only what the night will take
I am uncertain about the future and what the day will present, but I am aware of the losses the night will bring
Does it matter that I love you or that I’m jealous of what might have been
Is it significant that I have strong feelings for you or that I am envious of the possibilities we could have explored
