Nevermore
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I borrow time
To fall behind
From today
Yesterday
I'll lie down here where time stands still
Save me from my demons
I'll lie down here where time stands still
Save me from my demons
Nevermore
I'm wasting time
I'm wasting time
Cause I don't mind
The escape
Bending shape
A false sense of security
Save me from my demons
Nevermore
I'll lie down here where time stands still
Save me from my demons
Nevermore
A false sense of security
Save me from my demons
Nevermore
Let me fall
I'm already gone
Save me from my demons
Nevermore
The song "Nevermore" by Suburban Tribe expresses the idea of borrowing time and wasting it. The singer reflects on his past and how he has fallen behind in life, unable to catch up. He talks about lying down where time stands still, almost like he is stuck in a rut, unable to move forward. The singer then talks about his demons and how he needs to be saved from them. He refers to his demons as something that is always present and that he can never escape from. He seeks help, asking to be saved from his demons, implying that they are haunting him, and he is unable to deal with them on his own.
The lyrics show that the singer has given up trying to move forward in life and instead chooses to waste his time. He finds solace in his false sense of security, even though deep down, he knows that he is not happy. The repetition of "nevermore" implies that the singer wants to escape from his current life and start anew, with a clean slate. He feels that he is beyond redemption, and the only option left for him is to accept that he has fallen prey to his demons.

I delay the inevitable consequences of my actions

In order to not catch up with the rest

Starting from now
Yesterday
Referring to the past
I'll lie down here where time stands still
I will place myself in a state of inertia where everything seems to stop
Save me from my demons
Help me overcome my inner conflicts
Nevermore
Don't let me go through that again
I'm wasting time
I'm not making the most of my time
Cause I don't mind
Because it doesn't matter to me
The escape
Finding ways to avoid confronting reality
Bending shape
Twisting reality to fit into my fantasy
A false sense of security
Feeling secure despite the fact that danger looms
Let me fall
Allow me to face the consequences of my actions
I'm already gone
I have already lost control of the situation
