Never Gonna Die
Zara Larsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you recognize the sound anymore
Do you recognize the sound of my voice
Does it get drowned in the noise
I wonder if you found what you want
Maybe I'm telling my self a lie when I say
I'm the only one stealing your mind
You'll be mine someday
I still don't know how to move on
I'm sick and in love but I feel in my guts yeah I know that you are the one
Used to say forever but it's never now
Thought we'd be together but we're separate now
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
Now it ain't ever gonna die
Now it ain't ever gonna
Is it even worth the time anymore
It's different this time ain't it boy
'Cause that's so is what you say, what you say
But I'm better at the games that you play
I'm taking back what's mine
'Cause you said, it's forever
Stand at a test of time
If we dare, stay together
I ain't gonna wait in line
I'm patience but I'm not blind
We're young so we got that time, make it right, alright
Used to say forever
But it's never now
Thought we'd be together but we're separate now
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
Never thought I ever said we're strangers now
All the love we had is turning to hate somehow
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
Now it ain't ever gonna die
Now it ain't ever gonna die
Now we're gonna die
Now we're gonna die, no
Here we are at this place again
Somewhere between in turn to love and no longer
And if I never see your face again
I hope you know that there will never be another like you
Used to say forever
But it's never now
Thought we'd be together but we're separate now
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
Never thought I ever said we're strangers now
All the love we have is turning to hate somehow
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
And it ain't ever gonna die
And it ain't ever gonna die
You are my first
And that's why it hurts
The fire it burns
And it ain't ever gonna die
The lyrics of Zara Larsson's song, "Never Gonna Die," convey the theme of a difficult breakup with someone who was once your first love. The song begins with the question of whether the other person still recognizes the singer and her voice amid the noise; she wonders if she's telling herself lies thinking that the other person is still thinking about her. Despite her doubts, she still feels their connection and can't move on.
The chorus of the song focuses on the pain of the breakup and how the fire of their love will never die, despite being apart. The repeated phrase "used to say forever, but it's never now" emphasizes the disappointment and heartache of the relationship not lasting. The singer acknowledges that their love has turned to hate, but the fire between them still burns, and they will always hold a special place in each other's hearts.
In the bridge, the singer contemplates their history, how they've been both in love and strangers, and how they may never see each other again. She leaves with the sentiment that there will never be another person like them.
Overall, the song is a relatable anthem for anyone who has had a painful breakup with someone who was once their everything.

Do you recognize the sound anymore
Do you even remember my voice?
Do you recognize the sound of my voice
Do you remember me at all?
Does it get drowned in the noise
Am I just background noise to you now?
I wonder if you found what you want
Do you even know what you're looking for?
Maybe I'm telling my self a lie when I say
I know I'm lying to myself when I say
I'm the only one stealing your mind
I know there are others on your mind
You'll be mine someday
I still hold onto hope that we'll be together again
I feel you when I'm in the dark
I still feel connected to you even when it's dark and quiet
I still don't know how to move on
I can't seem to let you go
I'm sick and in love but I feel in my guts yeah I know that you are the one
Even though it hurts, I know that you're the one I want
Used to say forever but it's never now
We used to talk about forever, but now it seems impossible
Thought we'd be together but we're separate now
I thought we had a future, but now we're apart
You are my first
You were my first love
And that's why it hurts
That's why it hurts so much
The fire it burns
My love for you is still strong
And it ain't ever gonna die
My love for you will never fade away
Is it even worth the time anymore
Is it even worth trying to make this work anymore?
It's different this time ain't it boy
This time feels different, doesn't it?
'Cause that's so is what you say, what you say
What you're saying doesn't match up with your actions
But I'm better at the games that you play
I see through your games and I won't fall for them again
I'm taking back what's mine
I'm taking control of my life again
'Cause you said, it's forever
You promised me forever
Stand at a test of time
I thought our love would last forever
If we dare, stay together
If we're brave enough to try and make it work
I ain't gonna wait in line
I won't stand around waiting for you
I'm patience but I'm not blind
I can be patient, but I won't ignore the truth
We're young so we got that time, make it right, alright
We're still young and have time to make things right
Never thought I ever said we're strangers now
I never imagined that we would feel like strangers to each other
All the love we have is turning to hate somehow
Our love has turned into anger and resentment
Now we're gonna die
Our love is fading away
Here we are at this place again
We've been here before
Somewhere between in turn to love and no longer
We're stuck between love and letting go
And if I never see your face again
Even if we never see each other again
I hope you know that there will never be another like you
There will never be anyone else like you for me
