Never Stop

The lyrics seem to move from criticism of selfishness toward a hopeful call to protect love. The opening questions whether people care only about dividing money, then suggests that greed and bad judgment can return. Against this, the repeated refrain presents love as something valuable that should continue, even when the world feels confused or unfair.

Several images make these ideas vivid. “The cake’s being eaten” suggests that shared resources are being used up, perhaps without thought for others. “Poison” returning “in season” makes harmful attitudes sound like weeds or a recurring illness. The repeated counting—“measure by measure” and “pound for pound”—may evoke careful accounting, contrasting material wealth with “treasure still unlocked,” which could mean love or other human possibilities not yet fully realized.

The lines about a dead king and people who “aim above” suggest a shift away from old authority toward ordinary people with higher hopes, though the exact meaning is unclear. The reference to an answer in the sky may question easy, absolute explanations, rather than reject belief altogether. Overall, the song balances social criticism with a simple but persistent message: despite greed, doubt, and uncertainty, love remains worth sustaining.
