Florence + The Machine - Never Let Me Go (Lyrics)
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the seabed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So, so cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go (Delivered me)
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go (Delivered me)
Never let me go, never let me go
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

This got to be one of the most sensitive, heartfelt, poetic and soul touching lyrics ever written. And a melody inspired by heavens. Mrs. Welch it's a force of the nature, a phenomena. Hardly a song touchs me so deeply, the voice is fierce and daunting in the most positive way, it is aimed to your soul.

[@drliz6783]

I agree except it's about drugs and alcohol bringing her religious experiences

[@yumbunny2566]

​@drliz6783 no its not, its about suicide. She tried to drown herself, but the ocean saved her and "delivered" her back to shore

[@cherrycola9659]

This song reminds me of what it’s like to struggle with mental health, and self-sabotaging behaviors. This song to me, represents the fear of abandonment, yet pushing everyone away. This is the first time I ever cried to this song, and I’ve been listening to it ever since it first came out.

[@nataliejanewright672]

Me too. I was struggling to use the right words to explain it x

[@irinadianaionescu717]

Somebody in the comment section said something that I feel it's so powerful that I feel it needs to be shared along: We can overcome darkness.

[@p0tat0_xo]

"the fear of abandonment, yet pushing everyone away" - you described the best person I ever met. That made me cry.

[@hummingbird11]

Did you know that Florence wrote this song while badly hung over? She was in a dark place in her life then. She didn't want to re-visit the song live for 10 years, because it made her so sad. She began singing it live again in 2023.

[@indiesinternet7003]

If anyone's confused about this video, the black water seeping from her skin possibly represents her depression and the person mopping it up represents her friends and family. The person mopping disappears when she's happy and with the guy because they think she's beat her depression, but at the end when the black water is everywhere it is too much for her to take

[@luigy125]

Thank you so much. Really was having a tough time figuring out the music video. It's been like two years and I still didn't get it, but such an amazing song. I find it haunting but in a beautiful way.

The first time I heard this song, I was 14 or so. Mental illness had started stealing over my life and there was very little light. This song somehow both made me feel understood in my darkness and brought a great sense of euphoria. Here I am again in my mid 20s, still holding so much gratitude and reverence for Florence. Thank you FATM for helping me embrace all stages of my life with grace and totality.

When my mom passed away, this album helped move me from grief to acceptance and it still holds the most special place in my heart.

My son just died. My heart hurts, somehow this song randomly appeared on my KZbin scroll. I can’t say what made me select it, I have never heard it or heard of the artist before.

My son was born still on 2019 and I found this song when searching somewhat aimlessly for something to play at his funeral. I didn't want to go to his funeral, I don't want to carry on loving without him. Then this song played, and I lay on the floor and sobbed, and then played it again, and again. This song saved me, and allowed me to find a way through grief. I played it at his funeral and anytime I miss him I return to it. I hope that Florence knows the impact she has, it is beyond words. She gave me something special that day, understanding, a place for pain, and hope. And she gave my other children their mother back. Forever in debt.

My sister passed away 5 months ago. 5 days before she passed we were watching a TV program together in which this song was played. I remember the moment so vividly as the last moment of us as sisters watching TV together late at night as we had done as kids. Love this song so much, in all ways possible it resonates so sadly yet so beautifully. Some days it feels like I'm drowning in grief, other days I let the feelings ebb and flow like the ocean, other days I celebrate life.

Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. I lost my older sister almost a year ago now, grief is weird and sudden. We'll be fine and a certain sound or smell and we just break down 💞 Grieving with you love, stay strong I know they want us to be

[@notmedicgoddess911]

I'm so sorry for your devastating loss. ❤🙏🌹 I too have a sister, my baby sister, who I helped raise and adore. Due to a car accident, we almost lost her when she was only 7-8 yrs old. I was in HS and my world nearly ended. Although we've long been adults, still now, I would be beyond bereft and devastated if anything happened to her. I also lost my Grams, who truly was my very best friend in the world. You've perfectly described and encapsulated how grief feels. It sucks at and pulls us down into a bottomless abyss, and adds weight to keep you down on most days. Then once in a while, we hear or re-listen to beautiful bittersweet songs, same with movies/shows/pictures. Then we're lucky enough to be granted a small reprieve from all of that absolute f*cking (please forgive my language, but it's only way to truly honestly describe it) pain and sorrow, and truly begin to heal. Though we most likely never ever recover, we adapt, we must carry on. And through those reprieves, as you so wonderfully put it, we remember and regain our ability to celebrate the lives of our loved ones again, by trying to no longer allow grief to control us. Someone else in this thread said that our loved ones want us to be strong. These beautiful memories shared remind us that we are so much stronger than any of us ever thought we were capable of being.❤️💙 Thank you for sharing your special sacred memories of your lovely beloved sister.❤ Sharing our loving rememberances is how we keep our beloved loved one's alive. I hope we never stop, so that they always and forever may live on.💛🙏🌹 Sophie and others on this thread, I apologize for such a long post, I just really wanted to express my sincere condolences to you and let you know that I see you, send you a virtual hug, my thoughts, and prayers. Please hang in there, sweetheart ❤🙏🌹🩷 As HRH Queen Elizabeth II, may she RIP, has ever so eloquently, yet brutally honestly said, "Grief is the price we pay for love." ❤️💔🩷 And truer words have never rang more true.

My cousin was only 22 when he left this world and the last time I seen him in person was around my 16th birthday he told me how Florence impacted his life when he was dealing with addictions and emotional struggles. He found comfort listening to her and one of his favourite songs was "Never Let Me Go". He wanted to be a positive impact for so many people but didn't get the chance to be his authentic self, because he was turned away by people he cared for. Everyday I wish I could be with him again and let him know how much he meant to me and how much he inspired me to be myself. He was one of the most accepting people i knew, and helped me find acceptance of my sexuality and who i am as a person. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him. This was one of the songs they played at his funeral. I had to do my high school exams and couldn't attend. But in June 2018 i was finally able to visit where he was resting. When i found "High on Hope" i played it while thinking of him and it was one of the most moving things i ever experienced. Thank you Florence for sharing your art with the world. RIP Mitchell Austin Pinnell 1/9/1992 --- 5/24/2014 🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜⚰️🐘

[@amandadyer8273]

So sorry for your loss....I'm currently experiencing a sister who sounds very similar to your cousin.... Though it is me that flocks to Florence for meaning and spirituality... My sister's addiction scares me and I don't know why but this song and many others by her brings me the right emotions I need in the moment. And reading your words tonight... Was meant to be. May you and your cousin have peace.💟

1. I can't believe it's been TEN YEARS that this song is out. 2. Still so dark and so beautiful 3. how have i never noticed its JAMIE????

[@oishii86]

I'm back after 12 years 😢

[@skylar_kada]

I feel like this song is about finding absolution and forgiveness after committing suicide, because in a lot of religions, suicide is considered a sin. Hence why she calls herself a sinner throughout the song and there’s so much religious imagery in the lyrics. Florence Welch’s grandmother had bipolar disorder and committed suicide and that impacted the family very deeply. Florence wrote the song Falling about that experience. And I wonder if this one was also inspired by that. Either way, it gave me a lot of comfort at a time in my life when I was in that place myself, thank you so much for making the kind of music you make.

[@ptanyuh]

Interesting, thanks for the backstory. I plan to end my own life like that one day. Not anytime soon, but I'm not going to end up in a hospice I can tell you that much.

[@skylar_kada]

ptanyuh I can understand the sentiment since I’ve been there myself. I will point out it was because of chronic depression in my case and that I got the treatment I needed and am okay now. May I ask how old you are? Since you’re thinking along these lines

[@mahamadnasser12]

ptanyuh I don’t know who u r , but i hope that u found happiness

[@PrettyBoyKii]

I have survived multiple suicide attempts. Multiple overdoses, strangle, slit wrists... not a good time. I like to think that my mind is no longer broken...just fractured. It stays with you, forever. Childhood was not good to me. Young adulthood not much better. This song does call to mind the feeling of letting go of the pain in an attempt to stop it all. Every time I woke up was surprising. But I figure maybe there is a reason why I'm still here so I'm willing to wait it out and see. This song doesn't really remind me of dying. It reminds me of living. Of the receding of vision and consciousness and then the moment of clarity when you give in to life. I'm glad now that I'm still here and that I've found beauty and meaning in the darkness of life. It's good to visit the dark recesses of the mind but the trick is not to linger. I hope for more than redemption. Only time will tell. But I don't believe that a person who's had such pain and torment should be punished for having such traumatic experiences that lead us to wanting to be released from it. I don't think we're doomed. I think we're still loved and still redeemable. I don't believe that God ever really gives up on us because he gives us those odd signs when we're too weak to carry on any longer. We just have to be paying attention.

[@lisaslay-z8342]

Deliver me~💗

[@TheEtherny]

This was the first song I've ever from them, but I don't remember why I used to think I didn't liked it so I always skipped it, later I began to hear more from them because of Shake it out, then I started to hear all of their songs skipping this one, last week I was doing homework when all the sudden this song came on, I didn't skip it just because I was concentrated ( I wasn't paying attention to any songs at all), but as soon as the chorus came my attention was drawn into the song completely, I literally stopped just to pay attention to the song and ended up almost in tears from how much I loved it (that or I was really sick of doing homework that I loved how this song relieved me), now I'm hearing it almost everyday and for now it is my favorite song. Florence could be one of the best singers ever, so glad she is getting the recognition she deserves.

[@javonacw]

Thank you so much for yr comment. I agree with u completely.

[@Carlito_El_Gooner]

The lyrics of this song are so gloomy, almost depressing. But it moves me in spite of the suicidal message.

[@ElProf]

You're the first person I've come across who draws the same conclusion about the song's meaning.

[@estherjane2374]

I read somewhere that it's suppose to be about a religious girl who love the ocean and falls in love with a sailor. But one day he goes out to sea and never returns so the girl drowns herself in the ocean.

[@GrimboBaggins]

It's either this one or "What the Water Gave Me" that is about the author Virginia Woolf and how she committed suicide by drowning.

[@recoveringintrovert717]

Looking up from underneath Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me As before I went under And it's peaceful in the deep Cathedral where you cannot breathe No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under all And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me Though the pressure's hard to take It's the only way I can escape It seems a heavy choice to make And now I am under all And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me And it's over And I'm going under But I'm not giving up I'm just giving in I'm slipping underneath So cold and so sweet And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold And all this devotion I never knew at all And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released And the arms of the ocean delivered me Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Deliver me Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go And it's over (Never let me go, Never let me go) And I'm going under (Never let me go, Never let me go) But I'm not giving up (Never let me go, Never let me go) I'm just giving in (Never let me go, Never let me go) I'm slipping underneath (Never let me go, Never let me go) So cold and so sweet (Never let me go, Never let me go)

[@Evereverrr]

I can't help but miss the lungs and ceremonials era, where I admire how she's developed in her artistic meaning through her songs in HBHBHB, I always experience such a euphoric feeling when listening to her older songs, especially ceremonials, like they could all just swallow you up

[@cisumnosaj]

The realist comment ever.

[@talasintahan]

same here. i love HBHBHB, but ceremonials is my favourite album.

[@TheRixtah1]

That's what Florence has always been to me. This presence and aura which she embodies through her music feels as if it could swallow up my existence, my world, and my soul. More than swallowing me whole I feel as if the music demands that I entirely capitulate.

[@matthewream1309]

HBHBHB is probably my favorite album from her because it feels a lot more cohesive and grounded than ceremonials and lungs but I love them all tbh

[@dilaudid1]

I felt the same way but HBHBHB takes longer to appreciate. Also check out her recently released Conductor, As Far As I Could Get, Pure feeling, Hiding, Too Much Is Never Enough, and I Will Be. It like she released an entire extra album with these songs.

[@nghivmai]

The piano from 3:56 onward is one of the most beautiful things I've heard. It was what hooked me on this song on the first listen. It's a real shame they don't often play it on live shows.

[@Villaneve_]

I just went to the Perth, Australia concert! My first time seeing her and it was better thsn i could've ever imagined. Ive been listening to her my whole life but this song especially has got me through thr darkest times. She performed this song for the first time in 10 years and it was the most special thing ever!!

This was my favorite Florence + The Machine song when I first started listening to them, but I never watched the video. Then I became obsessed with their album Ceremonials (and still am, I adore it), while I was reading The Mortal Instruments and also obsessing over that completely. AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT JAMIE CAMPBELL FRIGGIN BOWER IS IN THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS??? I think I'm gonna die. A perfect combination, in my opinion.

comin' back to Flo's old songs just ignites the nostalgic memories buried deep within me. it's amazing how her songs could still evoke the exact same emotions as i had back then. cant say that i miss the past or love the present either, it simply feels reassuring to have that anchor which reminds me that time passes, and yet memories will still stay as they are, no matter how painful or blissful the memories could get sometimes.
