Song Meaning of “Nooit Meer Een Morgen” by Nick & Simon
The Dutch duo Nick & Simon’s song “Nooit Meer Een Morgen” tells the story of a rough break-up, where the protagonist is left wishing for a tomorrow that can never come. The dreaded ‘one-day return time bug’ has taken its toll on the once happy couple.
The song expresses the protagonist’s distress, desperation and hopelessness as he or she is forced to move forward in life despite the pain of the break-up. There is a sense of—at times bitter— longing and regret in the lyrics, as the protagonist wonders if there was something more he or she could have done to keep the love alive. The untimely end of the relationship is a deep wound that can never be fully healed.
The refrain of the song is a reminder for all who find themselves in this situation that it is ok to mourn, even if there will never be a tomorrow: “Een morgen die nooit komt, en nooit meer een morgen.” As the song progresses, the message takes on a slightly more optimistic tone and the protagonist finally finds the strength to keep living by looking forward to a brighter future.
The song is a reminder to be mindful of how each moment counts and to treasure the ones we love, as, at any given moment, it might be our last.
