Six common themes found in existentialism?

Answer 1

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long

Your heart's been aching

But you're too shy to say it

Inside we both know what's been going on

We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling

Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Repeat Chorus)

Give you up, give you up

Give you up, give you up

Never gonna give,

Never gonna give, give you up

Never gonna give,

Never gonna give, give you up

(Last four lines repeat)

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

(Chorus times three)
