Never Die Young
The Anniversary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought I would fall over
My feet having pushed under ground
But I fell down
Yes, over
I've been told that lovers shine brighter
I've travelled the darkest of roads
And nearing the end of each chapter
The book explodes

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
And I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
And those rings on your hands
Make the world come together
And it never does turn out right
On goes the fight.

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am
All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

Taking off in the dawn
I'll never die young
And I can live to regret this
Others have loved the land
And those rings on your hands
Make the world come together
And it never does turn out right
On goes the fight.

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am
All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

Back in my head
Back in the back of my head
I'll never forget these songs
It's 4 am




All sound has worn thin
Those memories float along

Overall Meaning

The Anniversary's "Never Die Young" is a poignant reflection on love, life, and the inevitability of growing older. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about his youthful invincibility, describing how he never thought he would "fall over" and how his feet were rooted firmly in the ground. But despite his initial confidence, he eventually succumbs to the impermanence of life and "falls down" like everyone else.


The chorus is both hopeful and mournful, as the singer declares that he will "never die young" and that he can "live to regret this." The melody of the chorus is soaring and upbeat, reflecting the singer's determination to keep fighting despite the challenges he has faced.


Later in the song, the singer reflects on the power of love to bring people together, describing how the "rings on your hands make the world come together." Yet even as he acknowledges the beauty of love, he knows that life is never perfect and that "it never does turn out right." Nevertheless, he remains committed to the fight, determined to hold onto his memories and never forget the songs that have defined his life.


Overall, "Never Die Young" is a moving tribute to the fragility of life and the power of love and memory to sustain us through the ups and downs. It's a song that anyone who has ever struggled with growing older or felt the weight of time's passing can relate to on a deep level.


Line by Line Meaning

I never thought I would fall over
I never thought I would fail


My feet having pushed under ground
I have hit rock bottom


But I fell down
But I failed anyway


Yes, over
Yes, I failed


I've been told that lovers shine brighter
I've been told that love makes one happy and bright


I've travelled the darkest of roads
I've been through a lot of hardships


And nearing the end of each chapter
And as I come to the end of each hardship


The book explodes
Everything falls apart suddenly


Taking off in the dawn
Starting a new day


I'll never die young
I'll never give up


And I can live to regret this
I might regret my actions later


Others have loved the land
Others have cherished life


And those rings on your hands
And the love you have in your life


Make the world come together
Helps bring positivity around us


And it never does turn out right
And the world isn't always fair


On goes the fight.
Yet I'll keep on fighting


Back in my head
In my thoughts again


Back in the back of my head
Buried deep in my subconscious


I'll never forget these songs
I'll never forget these memories


It's 4 am
It's very late at night


All sound has worn thin
Everything has become dull


Those memories float along
Those memories still haunt me
