NEVER Lyrics
Sing, me a sad song
Top of the morning too
By the catacombs
You and I, it's do or die
Skies are grey, so you flew a kite
We knew
And I'll take
My lifetime, better days
I won't awake
And I know
[Bridge]
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time, I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say (Say, no)
You, I, we die
It's so hard to take
This time, I'll fly
We won't ever break
It's all I know
You can't ever say (Say, no)
About
In this song, there are several reoccurring themes; a girl, death, and X’s internal dispute with death vs. life. It is believed that the song is related to a relationship that X was in which ended poorly and left X in a state of depression.
A sad, dark tone is very present in not only the beat, but in his voice. X can even be heard sighing and sniffling in different parts of the song.
While the song was originally the intro to The Fall, X also decided to reuse it two years later as the outro to WILLY WONKA WAS A CHILD MURDERER.
After X’s unexpected murder, he was accused of stealing this instrumental from Russian composer Aesthesys on “Dreams Are Only Real As Long As They Last.” After Aesthesys' original was flagged on YouTube for copyright infringement, said in a Reddit post that he prepared a lawsuit against the rapper before his death, but it doesn’t look like he was going to take action on it.
