Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again

You weren't like him, you were like me
Everybody wanted to come and look at the monster
I get that you were worried but you gave me an heart attack
My heart is stone
Only Lord knows I've suffered through too much
When I drink, I drink too much
When I love, I love too much

Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again

I need love and affection
First time I met you
You had come to the wrong place
Ever since then
You were the only thing in my headspace
Wearing blue jeans and you looked so good
Do still think about us?
Do you still think about us?
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you

Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
I fall in love again
Never again
Never again
Never again
Never again
I fall in love again
I don't wanna stop now




I don't wanna stop now
Never again

Overall Meaning

Leandoer96's song "Never Again" is a reflective and melancholic track about love, heartbreak, and the inability to move on. The song begins with the repetition of the phrase "Never again," which suggests a sentiment of regret and a desire to avoid making the same mistakes again in the future. The singer then goes on to address a person who was different from others, someone who had caught their attention and affection. Despite this, the relationship between them was not without its problems. The other person was worried and this caused the singer to feel a great deal of anxiety. The line "you gave me a heart attack" suggests that the singer felt overwhelmed and even traumatized by their partner's insecurities.


The song's lyrics also reveal that the singer struggles with addiction. They say that when they drink, they drink too much, and when they love, they love too much. This suggests a pattern of behavior that is destructive and compulsive. The singer then shifts focus to their longing for love and affection. They recall the first time they met their former lover and how they were the only thing on their mind ever since. The line "Not a day goes by without me thinking about you" highlights the singer's inability to move on and find closure. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "Never again" and the contradictory line "I fall in love again. I don't wanna stop now." This creates a sense of tension and uncertainty about the singer's future and whether they will be able to break out of their damaging patterns.

You were like him, you were like me
Everybody wanted to come and look at the monster
I get that you were worried but you gave me an heart attack
My heart is stone, and only Lord has known I've suffered through to much
When I drink, I drink too much
When I love, I love too much

Not a day goes by without me thinking about you

Dyslexia: 🕸️ I dunno but for me, it hits harder than every 80s superstar, there is so much complexity. i ve listened to his music since he was 16. Like a mirror for young people in the money society. On top of Rock n Roll, depression, drugs n sex roll' .. the roll in n' out. Everything goes round n round. The Dopamine Devil Circle. It makes u feel creative n fly high... same time cripples u, drain your energy. Escape of Emotions. Feelings are too strong, just calm them down n fly high. Icarus has to go to rehab. And re habit his life
