Never Let You Down
The Summer Obsession Lyrics

The Summer Obsession’s song “Never Let You Down” seems to be a lamentation about the imminent end of a relationship due to reasons that the singer does not wish to acknowledge. The song opens by praising the good times experienced with the partner, which were carefree and full of fun, and how singing bad boy songs was their way of showing their love. However, the lyrics quickly segue into more serious territory, as it becomes apparent that the singer’s partner is contemplating leaving them. The singer declares that they will not believe this until their partner is actually gone, and even then, they will never let them down.

The second verse appears to delve deeper into the reasons behind the impending breakup. The singer addresses the sexual aspect of their relationship, implying that their partner was only turned on by the best sex and had slept with angels. However, there were also demons around that were causing their partner to feel some distress, which the singer was worried about. The chorus thus takes on a more somber tone, as the singer again declares that if their partner decides to stay, they can trust them never to let them down.

The bridge is a mixed bag of emotions, however. The singer seems to accept that their partner might be feeling overwhelmed and may want to give up or leave the town. Yet, they also cannot bear the thought of their partner going away and reassure them that they would never let them down. Overall, the song conveys a sense of heartbreak and disappointment about a relationship that seems to be teetering on the brink of collapse.
