Like Never Before

To/Die/For's song 'Like Never Before' delves into the complexities of life, capturing the essence of human experience through its poignant lyrics. The song opens with a reflection on the dualities of existence, mentioning both the rain and the sun, victories and losses, and the acts of destruction and salvation. This juxtaposition sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the human condition, where the singer acknowledges their own mortality by metaphorically digging a grave for themselves, yet expresses a fearless attitude towards it.

The recurring imagery of roses blooming and fading symbolizes the transient nature of life and beauty. The invitation to 'follow me into damnation' and 'fly with me into the skies' suggests a journey through both the highs and lows of existence, embracing all its facets. The lines 'Cry or laugh it's all the same' and 'The world keeps turning anyway' highlight a sense of existential acceptance, where emotions are fleeting and the world remains indifferent to individual struggles.

The chorus, with its call to dance 'like never before,' emphasizes living in the moment and cherishing the present, as 'we never know about tomorrow.' This carpe diem attitude is further reinforced by the determination to keep going 'as long as blood runs in my veins,' even if it means burning the candle at both ends. The song ultimately portrays a raw and honest embrace of life's impermanence, urging listeners to find vitality and meaning in every moment, despite the inevitable ebb and flow of experiences.
