I Never Left You
Eternal Devotion in a Changing World
Lyrics
You struggled you made a fist of your youth
You faced challenges and tried to make the most of your youth
And in the days before
Referring to a time before significant plans or achievements
Your latest great designs you got yours
Referring to personal accomplishments, you achieved yours
Succeeded most of half the time
Successfully accomplished about half of the time
And there were days
There were days when opportunities passed without success
When all the breaks flew you by
Missed chances and setbacks
No sense you following the best laid plans
Not worth following well-made plans
Things done in earnest never got to stand
Serious efforts didn't endure
Ain't it amazing just how everything changes
Expressing amazement at how everything changes
When the world takes two steps backwards
Changes occur when the world regresses
Backwards
Reiteration of regression and setbacks
There's no emotion in a world without you
Emphasizing the lack of emotion without someone special
And I never left you
Despite challenges, the singer never abandoned the person
With my devotions like a light inside you
The singer's unwavering commitment and support
And I'll never let you down
Promising not to disappoint or betray
You want it you need to justify your times
Desire for validation and justification of one's actions
And there'll be days when all
Expectation of challenging times when unconventional ideas succeed
The crazies take the prize
Reference to unpredictable moments when unexpected outcomes prevail
When the Garden of Eden's dust is blown away
Symbolic reference to the loss of innocence or idealism
We'll be waiting at the gate to do the time
Waiting for the consequences of actions
No sense in following the best laid plans
Reiteration of the futility of following well-made plans
Things done in earnest never get to stand
Highlighting that sincere efforts often go unnoticed
Hey it's amazing just how everything changes
Expressing amazement at the transformative nature of setbacks
When the world takes a few steps backwards
Re-emphasizing the impact of setbacks on the world
Backwards
Reiteration of the backward movement in the world
There's no emotion in a world without you
Stressing the emotional void without a special person
And I never left you
The singer never abandoned the person despite challenges
With my devotion like a light inside you
Continued commitment and support symbolized as light
And I'll never let you down
Pledge to remain reliable and faithful
You know I hope it springs eternal
Expressing hope that lasts eternally
From the faces of these angels here
Hope seen in the faces of benevolent figures
I can't let you
Refusing to let someone experience a difficult life
Down into the dungeons of a life
Rejecting a life filled with fear and desperation
Lived under fear and pleading
Commitment to not letting go of the person
I can't let you go
Reiteration of holding onto the person
There's no emotion in a world without you
Re-emphasizing the emotional void without the person
And I never left you
The singer never abandoned the person despite challenges
With my devotion like a light inside you
Continued commitment and support symbolized as light
And I'll never let you down
Pledge to remain reliable and faithful
By the light of the moon our
Under the moonlight, the singer's love provides concealment
Love alone to hide you
The singer's love alone protects and hides the person
And I'll never let you down
Pledge to never disappoint or betray
