Never After explores the quiet grief of outgrowing certainty. The song reflects on the optimism of childhood—when dreams felt limitless and the future seemed mapped out—and contrasts it with the disorientation of young adulthood, where time erodes confidence and ambition feels harder to carry. Through imagery of fading light, stalled momentum, and the longing to “turn back time,” Never After captures the moment when belief in endless possibility gives way to uncertainty, and resilience must be relearned. It’s a meditation on learning how to stand tall when the fairytale ending never arrives.
