Never
Eternal Reverie: Unveiling the Profound Essence of 'Never' by Chris Whitley
Lyrics
Well I see now she can't spell no love with letters
She realizes that love cannot be expressed through mere words.
All at odds with these mythologies of sexual mentors
Contradicting societal expectations and stereotypes related to sexual experiences.
Well if she ever need a rest
If she ever needs a break from rigid beliefs and doctrines.
From all that Dogma all undressed
Tired of religious dogma and its restrictive nature, she desires authenticity.
On no religion I love you blessed
Expressing love without the confines of organized religion.
Never forever
Rejecting the idea of a love that lasts forever.
Dress for the evening with such disguise
Choosing to conceal true feelings under a facade when dressing up for the evening.
Well laying here now with your open eyes
Lying beside someone with open eyes, possibly indicating emotional distance.
Killing time now and time just dies
Passing time without any significant purpose, highlighting the ephemeral nature of life.
Forever
Repeating the rejection of eternal commitment.
Well I'm all in open view
Being transparent and exposed, possibly emotionally vulnerable.
Wear it raw in front of you
Presenting oneself honestly in front of others.
Milk the drug and misconstrue
Misusing substances as a coping mechanism, distorting reality.
Well I stood all night out there
Enduring a challenging situation throughout the night.
Waiting for the Ark
Waiting for something transformative, akin to waiting for the Ark.
Gasoline all in my hair just to tempt a spark
Using dangerous elements to provoke a change or spark.
Ain't got no hard-on like you have known
Expressing a lack of intense desire or passion compared to a familiar standard.
Ain't got no icon like those you been shown
Not possessing an iconic status as others may expect.
All our lives or one night alone
Reflecting on the brevity of existence, whether a lifetime or a single night.
Never forever
Reiterating the rejection of eternal love.
All our lives or one night
Considering the entirety of life or just a single night without eternal commitment.
Never
Finalizing the rejection of everlasting love.
