Never Coming Back is a nostalgic, naked admission that one's defining love will never return, sung like a wistful southern lullaby, laying to rest all the sweet things we’ve lost. The Death card marks sudden change and upheaval, the universality of grief and mortality — we cannot stop this divine power and the sweeping winter it can bring to the people, places, and times to which we cling. But just as every leaf that falls to the forest floor feeds the roots and creatures of the woods and pruning dead branches allows new growth, Death is the gateway to an unknown new life. A force that transforms and transitions us — rather than keeping things as they were, Death insists we embrace the change of season and let ourselves dream.
