Never Let You Down
The Clarks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't run from a lack of mystery
Please just go away
I'm right, you're wrong
You can't hide in a place you don't belong
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
It's head first in the lap of luxury
Please just go away
Alright, you're dead wrong
You can't run, you can't drag me along
Please just go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
Fine you're gone away, tell me one more day
I know you're gonna stay, you ask if there's a way
I'm you, you're me
You can't run, you can't stay pissed at me
Please don't go away
And I'll never let you
Never let you down
The lyrics to The Clarks's song Never Let You Down speak to a troubled relationship dynamic between two individuals who seem to be different but interconnected. The opening of the song states, "I'm you, you're me / You can't run from a lack of mystery." This line suggests that the two individuals are tied together despite their differences and cannot escape the connection they share. It also alludes to the fact that the relationship lacks excitement or novelty.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "And I'll never let you / Never let you down," which reinforces the idea that the singer is committed to the relationship and will not disappoint the other person. However, the following lines indicate a kind of power struggle between the two individuals, with the singer asserting their dominance by stating, "I'm right, you're wrong / You can't hide in a place you don't belong." This suggests that the singer is trying to control the other person's actions and decisions in the relationship.
The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope for the relationship, with the line, "Fine you're gone away, tell me one more day / I know you're gonna stay, you ask if there's a way." Despite the difficulties and differences between the two individuals, there is a sense of longing for the relationship to work out, and a willingness to compromise and find a way to make it work.
