This Was Never
Unforeseen Echoes: Embracing the Unintended in 'This Was Never' by Name Taken
Lyrics
I'm not with you
I am not with you
When you say “It won't mean a thing love”
When you say, "It won't mean a thing, love," there is a disconnect or lack of significance
I still can't move
I still feel immobilized or stuck
Once you've let me in and still closer
Once you allowed me in, but we are still emotionally distant
This was never suppose to happen
This situation was not supposed to occur
No one's meant to know about us
No one is meant to know about our relationship
This was never suppose to happen
Reiteration that this wasn't supposed to happen
No one's meant to know, meant to know
No one is meant to know about us
Stay when there's nothing between us
Stay together even when there is emotional distance
Oh pray for what's left of to save
Pray for whatever is left to save in the relationship
Let's not go back
Do not revisit the past
Let's do our best to blend in and forget
Attempt to assimilate and forget the past
I still can't move
Still feeling stuck or unable to move on
I miss the feeling and everything but you
Missing the emotions but not necessarily the person
This was never suppose to happen
Reiteration that this situation wasn't supposed to happen
No one's meant to know about us
No one is supposed to know about the relationship
This was never suppose to happen
Emphasizing that this wasn't meant to happen
No one's meant to know, meant to know
No one is meant to know about us
It's never this cold…
Expressing an emotional coldness or distance
Where my beating strength once came from
Where my strength and vitality once came from is now cold
It will never be strong or beat again, or beat again
The emotional strength may never recover or beat again
It's never this cold…
Reiteration of the emotional coldness or distance
