Reunion
The XX(디 엑스엑스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ignore the heart
Move to the ever-moving
Or, blazin', we go over
And over and over and over again
If I wait too long
I'll lose you from my sight
I could stop dreaming
And start believing in forever
And ever and ever and ever again
Reunion, reunion
Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again
And it's burning inside 'til you give it up
How long should I wait?
There's no need to hide, from this
Only you in here
There's an end to us with someone else inside
You shine your light
There goes that feeling, won't let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did I see you, see me, in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did I (Never not ever) see you (Ever again)
See me (Never not ever) in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did I see you, see me?
Never not ever, never not ever again
In The XX's song Reunion, the lyrics speak about revisiting a life that was left behind with a former lover. The first line, "We visit a life we both left behind," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The two people in the song are ignoring what their hearts are telling them and are instead moving on with their lives. They are going "over and over and over again" in a cycle of heartbreak and failed relationships.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that if they wait too long, they will lose the other person from their sight. They yearn to stop dreaming and start believing in forever. The repetition of "and ever and ever and ever again" emphasizes their desire for a never-ending love. However, the chorus, "reunion, reunion, never not ever, never not ever again," implies that the singer recognizes that a reunion with their former lover may not be possible.
The last verse hints at the possibility of a new beginning with the other person. The repetition of "never not ever again" implies that the singer doesn't want to lose the other person again. They question if they see each other in a new light and wonder if they could start again.
Overall, the lyrics of the song Reunion speak about the complexities of love and the hope for a never-ending companionship.
Line by Line Meaning
We visit a life we both left behind
We return to our past and relive old memories
Ignore the heart
Don't let emotions affect us
Move to the ever-moving
Keep moving forward with time
Or, blazin', we go over
We can also move forward at a fast pace
And over and over and over again
We keep repeating this cycle of life
If I wait too long
If I delay too much
I'll lose you from my sight
I'll lose the person I love
Maybe tonight
Perhaps today is the chance
I could stop dreaming
I can stop dreaming and start acting on my goals
And start believing in forever
I can start to believe in eternity
And ever and ever and ever again
And continue to believe in it forever
Reunion, reunion
We come back together
Never not ever, never not ever again
And we won't ever be apart again
And it's burning inside 'til you give it up
The desire is strong and won't go away until it is fulfilled
How long should I wait?
How long do I need to wait?
There's no need to hide, from this
Don't hide from this desire
Only you in here
It's only you in my heart
There's an end to us with someone else inside
Our relationship has ended with someone else in the picture
You shine your light
You bring light to my life
There goes that feeling, won't let me see them
That feeling is too intense and blinding to let me see anything else
Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did we see each other in a different way?
Never not ever again
And we won't ever go back to the old way of things
