Rihanna
never ending Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oooohhhhh
Ghost in the mirror
I knew your face once, but now it's unclear
And I can't feel my body now
I separate from here and now
Oooohhhhh
A drug and a dream
A lost connection, oh, come back to me
So I can feel alive again
As soul and body try to mend
It's pulling me apart, this time
Everything is never-ending
I slipped into a parallel
They'll never understand
This feeling always gets away
Wishing I could hold on longer
Why does it have to feel so strange
To be in love again, be in love again, be in love again?
Oooohhhhh
Oooohhhhh
Ghost in the mirror
I knew your face once, but now it's unclear
And I can't feel my body now
I separate from here and now
Oooohhhhh
Oooohhhhh
Oooohhhhh
Oooohhhhh
It's pulling me apart, this time
Everything is never-ending
I slipped into a parallel
They'll never understand
This feeling always gets away
Wishing I could hold on longer
Why does it have to feel so strange
To be in love again, be in love again, be in love again?
Be in love again?
In the first verse, the singer talks about a ghost in the mirror and how their face used to be familiar but now it is unclear. This could refer to a past lover or a version of themselves they no longer recognize. The line "I can't feel my body now" could symbolize a disconnection from reality or a loss of passion and desire. The separation from "here and now" suggests the feeling of being lost in a dream or a parallel universe.
The second verse talks about a lost connection, possibly between the singer and the ghost in the mirror. The use of the words "drug and dream" could imply that this connection was intense or addictive. The singer craves the feeling of coming alive again, as their soul and body try to mend.
The chorus repeats the phrase "everything is never-ending," suggesting a feeling of being stuck and unable to move on. The singer feels like they have slipped into a parallel world that nobody else understands. They wish they could hold on longer to this feeling of love, but it feels strange.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle to let go of a past love or version of oneself, and the feeling of being stuck in a dreamlike state where everything is never-ending.
