"Never say Never"- The Fray

"Never say Never"-The Fray

Some things we don't talk about
rather do without just hold a smile
fallen in and out of love
the same damn problem together all the while

You can never say never
While we don't know it
Time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Picture you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your comand
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hands

You can never say never
While We don't know it
Time time time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

We're falling apart
Coming together again and again
We're coming apart
But we're pulling together, pulling together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

In this song there is repetiton and binary opposition. It is very apparent that the phrase "Don't let me go" is repeated 24 times. The singer is most likely telling someone not to leave them and to have faith in eachother. "We" is said a lot in this song, which means that he is referring to more than one person, most likely a girl that he loves. The line "Never say Never" means that you never know what can happen. Things can change unexpectedly at anytime. Time is the essence of everything. The binary oppostion is when he says that we're falling apart, but coming together again and again. As they fall apart, they become stronger at the same time. As long as they stay together, it dosen't matter if the worl is crumbling aorund them.

  1. I definitely agree. It clear that the fray are trying to make the point that life is unpredictable. And by mentioning "we", I believe that they are implying that we need to solve the problems we face together or else they will beat us. I believe that the line "Don't let me go" also proposes this same idea.
