Never
Son of Rust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in the lamp light
in the shades of violence
or ecstacy
how could I know?
how could I not know...
the way that you felt
or the way it could be
.I'm still screaming but nobody hears me
.turn up the volume till it drowns out my brain
.the winds are searing my head is clearing
.and I will never feel the same again
are you still out there
exactly the same
as you were with me
as we never could be again
sometimes it was good
so very worthwhile
your precious smile
that said believe
/chorus
I would stare at the floor
you'd say to my face
all that was love
hate has now replaced
I couldn't think
now that I know what this was leading to
of all the things that broke or left me
I cannot replace you.
The lyrics of Son of Rust's song "Never" seem to touch upon a complex and tumultuous relationship that ended badly. The singer reminiscences about a past relationship that was marked by "violence or ecstasy" and ponders about the uncertainty he felt at the time about the way his partner felt and how it could have been different, leading to a sense of regret or sadness.
The singer's current state of mind is marked by distress and isolation, as he screams but receives no response and tries to drown out his thoughts by turning up the volume. The phrase "the winds are searing my head is clearing" conveys a sense of chaotic confusion and clarity that may lead to a shift in perspective and a realization of how damaging the relationship was.
The last stanza seems to express a sense of disillusionment with love and relationships, as the singer is unable to replace what he has lost. The dichotomy between "all that was love" and the "hate" that has taken its place suggests a deep betrayal or disappointment that has left the singer feeling broken and stuck in his thoughts and feelings.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never" seem to explore the theme of nostalgia and regret, examining the complexities of relationships and the emotional turmoil that they can cause.
Line by Line Meaning
In my room
All alone in my room with my thoughts and feelings
in the lamp light
The only light comes from the lamp in the room
in the shades of violence
My feelings are intense and sometimes violent
or ecstacy
Or they can be filled with ecstasy
how could I know?
I don't know how to determine which feelings are real
how could I not know...
But at the same time, I have an intuition about the truth
the way that you felt
I understand your emotions and feelings
or the way it could be
But I'm unsure of what our future holds
I'm still screaming but nobody hears me
I'm struggling to cope with my emotions and feel unheard
turn up the volume till it drowns out my brain
I try to cope by turning up loud music to distract myself
the winds are searing my head is clearing
I'm feeling the outside world intensely to try and forget about my problems
and I will never feel the same again
The events that transpired have changed me and I cannot go back
are you still out there
I wonder if you're still living your life normally
exactly the same
Or if you've moved on and forgotten what happened between us
as you were with me
Regardless of the outcome, our time together was special
as we never could be again
But we cannot go back to the way things were
sometimes it was good
We had some great moments together
so very worthwhile
The joy that I felt was immeasurable
your precious smile
Your smile was one of the things that brought me the most happiness
that said believe
And it made me believe that everything would work out
I would stare at the floor
But now I can't even bring myself to look at the floor
you'd say to my face
Because when I look at you, I see the truth on your face
all that was love
And I remember feeling love whenever I looked at you
hate has now replaced
But now those feelings have turned sour, and I feel hate instead
I couldn't think
I'm struggling to come to grips with these changes
now that I know what this was leading to
Now that I know what our relationship was leading towards
of all the things that broke or left me
Out of all the things that I've lost in life
I cannot replace you.
I know that there will never be anyone else like you in my life
