Never See Me Again
Vivian Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a really hard time walking down the street knowing you wouldn't walk next to me
And after all this time to get you out of my head
Why did you think you'd miss me again?

It took me so long to finally understand that you can't be around
But now you're here again, this isn't what we planned
Why did you think you'd miss me again?
Spent so much time without you since you went away
It felt okay. But now you're here again to take my breath away.

I had a really hard time getting out of bed thinking bout all the things you said
And after all this time to get you out of my head
Why did you think you'd miss me again?





Why did you come here again?

Overall Meaning

The Vivian Girls' song "Never See Me Again" is a heart-wrenching tale of a broken relationship haunted by the past. The opening verse sees the singer struggling to walk down the street without the person whom she once loved. The fact that he won't be walking next to her anymore is too much to handle, and she finds it hard to move past the memories they once shared together. The song delves into the theme of grappling with the aftermath of a breakup and tries to move on from it.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer has gone through a lot of pain and heartache to get over the person she's singing about. She has to work hard to forget their memories and push herself to move on. However, it seems as though her former lover is trying (or has tried) to come back into her life, and she's now trying to grapple with that. The confusion and hurt are palpable in the lyrics. She questions, "Why did you think you'd miss me again?" It's almost as if she doesn't want to open old wounds and doesn't want to revisit the past.


The closing verse sees the singer struggling to get out of bed, thinking about all the things that her lover had said to her. She questions why her lover has come back, almost as if she doesn't want to deal with the hurt again. The song encapsulates the feeling of not wanting to repeat the past and moving on but still being in love with the person who once hurt you.
