It'll Never Be You
Navigating Life's Illusions: Reflections on Giving and Taking
Lyrics
Tryna keep track of the times
Expressing the difficulty of keeping track of time
I can't track it
Unable to monitor or follow something
This year has been a blur
Describing the past year as a hazy and confusing period
It's a load of lies
Suggesting that there are many falsehoods or deceptions
From the people up high
Referring to influential figures who manipulate simple pleasures
Who controlled our simple pleasures
Controlling basic joys or delights
From the boats in the bay
From the ships in the harbor to memorial wreaths
To the wreaths that we lay
Reference to symbolic wreaths placed to honor someone
To the people who say
Pointing out those who claim to have fought for others
Fought for us
Highlighting the idea of sacrifices made for a cause
It's all give
Repetition emphasizing the act of giving without mentioning what is received
Give
-Give
-Give
-Give
-But what do we take?
Raising the question of what is gained in return
Don't wanna live
Expressing a reluctance to live any other way
Live
-Live
-Live
-Live
-Any other way
Emphasizing the difficulty of accepting an alternative lifestyle
I can't lie
Admitting to testing one's own thoughts extensively
I've tested every cell inside my brain
-Don't wanna wait
-Wait
Expressing impatience and a desire for a new day
Wait
-Wait
-Wait
-For a new today
-Just take a step outside
Encouraging to step outside and sense the impending fall of the world
Can you feel it?
-This world's gonna fall from within
-'Cos they can see us on our phones
Highlighting the obsession with phones and material possessions
Bit of plastic we all own
-And it's something we all treasure
-Gotta check the news today
Describing the routine of checking news, face scanning, and space exploration
Have my thumb
-Scan my face
-It's okay, we're going to space
-But it'll never be you
Stating that despite progress, it will never be satisfactory for the individual
It's all give
Repetition of the theme of giving without receiving
Give
-Give
-Give
-Give
-But what do we take?
Posing the question of what is gained in exchange for giving
Don't wanna live
Expressing a reluctance to live in any other manner
Live
-Live
-Live
-Live
-Any other way
Reiterating the difficulty of accepting an alternative lifestyle
I can't lie
Acknowledging the thorough self-examination of thoughts
I've tested every cell inside my brain
-Don't wanna wait
-Wait
Expressing impatience and a longing for a new day
Wait
-Wait
-Wait
-For a new today
-But I'm a pessimist
Admitting a pessimistic outlook
It helps
Stating that pessimism serves a purpose
It's all give
Repetition of the theme of giving without mention of receiving
Give
-Give
-Give
-Give
-But what do we take?
Raising the question of what is gained in exchange for giving
Don't wanna live
Expressing a reluctance to live in any other manner
Live
-Live
-Live
-Live
-Any other way
Reiterating the difficulty of accepting an alternative lifestyle
I can't lie
Acknowledging the thorough self-examination of thoughts
I've tested every cell inside my brain
-Don't wanna wait
-Wait
Expressing impatience and a longing for a new day
Wait
-Wait
-Wait
-For a new today
