Never
Willy Crook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's on friends eyes
On dogs smile,
Just a souvenir
In an elephant's memory,
It's just a part of it
And with your help a part of me,.
What's on friends smiles
On men's mind,
It's just a souvenir
On an elephants memory
Just a part of it
And with your help a part of me,.
Thanks Lord but give us more,
Thanks lord, it could be worst,
Thanks lord but give us more
'Cause it's never enough for a child,
No, never enough for a child.
In Willy Crook's song Never, the lyrics capture the idea of gratitude and memories that stay with us. The first stanza reflects on the different things that leave an impression on us as human beings, such as what's on a man's mind or what's in a dog's eye, and how those things become a part of our memories. In the second stanza, this idea is reinforced but also highlights how our interactions with others help create those memories. The final stanza brings up the idea of gratitude but with a twist. Though the singer thanks the Lord, they also express a desire for more, emphasizing the insatiable nature of human desire.
The song seems to suggest that memories are made up of both individual observations and experiences we have in community with others. It also touches upon the idea that despite expressing gratitude, humans always want more, and that this is especially true in childhood, as children are still discovering and experiencing life.
