Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Gonna Stop" by Wild Dogs depict a wild, brutal and savage world of excess, where the singer is asking for more and more, never satisfied. The song starts with the demand to "Give it to me" repeated four times, establishing a sense of urgency and hunger. This is followed by a reference to the singer's car, a Durango 95, and their kick boots, highlighting the aggressive and energetic nature of the song. The line "See heaven flash a horrorshow" suggests a chaotic and violent scene that excites the singer, while "Knock it nice and smooth, step back and watch it flow" implies a sense of control and mastery over the situation.

The chorus, repeated four times, emphasizes the singer's determination and persistence: "Never gonna stop." The second verse describes the devil riding a dinosaur and painting a monster red so that the blood doesn't stain the floor. The image is grotesque and disturbing, emphasizing the song's dark and violent mood. The line "Sorry as a shot came sickness, watch it flow" is ambiguous, but it could be interpreted as a reference to addiction and the destructive consequences that come with it.

The bridge, "Use my body to keep you alive, I don't care what you do to me," suggests that the singer is willing to sacrifice themselves and their well-being for someone or something else, indicating a self-destructive tendency. However, the phrase can also be interpreted as a declaration of loyalty and devotion to someone or something.

Overall, "Never Gonna Stop" by Wild Dogs is a song that celebrates excess, wildness, and chaos, with a hint of self-destructiveness and sacrifice that adds a dark layer to the lyrics.
