NEVER SAY DIE
The 69 Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess, you're seeking salvation
Nothing but damnation left for you
If you choose the wrong direction
It's a brand new feeling sacrificial healing
Like a U-turn out of the blue
Once you're strong enough to face it

Thought I'm standing by your side
I feel so lonely I could cry

Never say die
Leave me alone in the night
Keep me away from the light
Razor blade cuts the line
Never say, never say die

Are you escaping the dreaming
A life without meaning left for you
If you choose the wrong addiction
Let me tell you a story without a blaze of glory
The darkest days are through
Once you taste my love you'll make it

Thought I'm standing by your side
I feel so alone I could cry

Never say die
Leave me alone in the night
Keep me away from the light
Razor blade cuts the line
Never say never say die

Leave me alone in the night
Keep me away from the light
Razor blade cuts the line
Never say never say die

Though I'm standing by your side
I feel so lonely, I could cry




If I could feel my heart tonight
Never say never say die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The 69 Eyes's song "Never Say Die" explore themes of salvation, damnation, and addiction. The song suggests that one can find sacrificial healing by making a U-turn from the wrong direction, facing their problems head-on, and choosing the right addiction--in this case, perhaps the love of a partner. The chorus exclaims "Never say die," which can be interpreted as a call to persevere and not give up hope, even when one feels alone and overwhelmed.


The verses also touch on the idea of escaping a life without meaning and choosing the right addiction. The lyricist has a somber tone, singing that he feels alone and could cry, despite standing by his partner's side. This could suggest that the love he's offering isn't necessarily enough to save someone from dark times, and that ultimately, they must take responsibility for their own choices. The last line, "If I could feel my heart tonight," is the most enigmatic, but could be read to suggest that the singer is struggling to feel anything genuine or real, and is hoping for some kind of breakthrough.
