Never Never
Static Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let, let my hand slip
past your lips...falling down
you left your warm breath
on my finger tips
i see you...falling down

even though
they refuse to tell you so

you lie here waiting for my return
I'm not able to show you
all I want is to hold you
I want you to see who i am...

you feel the pain you want to go home
i walk these halls all alone
the chemicals take away the pain
but you won't ever be the same
through these walls i walk alone

even though it's impossible to know
my touch is cold and I can't let go
when your breath leaves you

I will finally hold you
life is a gamble you refuse to lose

you feel the pain you want to go home
....I walk these halls because i have to
I walk these halls all alone
....you walk these halls because you have to
the chemicals take away the pain
but you won't ever be the same
through these walls i walk alone

you feel the pain......

you feel the pain you want to go home
.....this is more I should ever know
I walk these halls all alone
the chemicals take away the pain

but you won't ever be the same
through these walls I walk alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Static's song "Never Never" is shrouded in emotions and pain. The lyrics are from the perspective of a person who is watching a loved one suffer and feeling helpless. The first verse talks about the singer's hand slipping past their loved one's lips, falling down, and the warmth of their breath on their fingertips. This paints a vivid picture of someone in a critical condition fighting for their life, while their loved one looks on unable to help.

The following lines imply that some people have refused to tell the sufferer the severity of their situation, and they lie there waiting for the singer's return. The singer expresses a desire to show them who they are and hold them. The second stanza reveals that the singer walks alone through the halls, and the sufferer wants to go home. The use of "chemicals" is ambiguous; they might refer to medication that dulls the pain or a drug that helps the terminally ill cope with their condition. In any case, the singer imparts that they won't ever be the same, and through the walls, they walk alone.

The final verse repeats the line "you feel the pain" and reveals that the singer must walk the halls alone because they have to. The final line advises that the song's subject refuses to lose at life's gamble, which may indicate the singularity of their pain. This song is an evocative representation of grief and attraction, and it's up to we the listeners to understand its meaning.
