Never Gonna Be the Same
Sean Paul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We come to terms with the sadness we bear
Missing the times we never get to share
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa
Just a few words because we care
Still I got all the memories
Who-who-who-whoa, whoa-whoa
Say, when me look up inna mi life it's plain to see
That it's never gonna be the same
Take another step on towards my destiny
But the memories still remain
Deep inna mi brain, inna mi soul, I hold the key
Said it's never gonna be the same
Throughout life and beyond all eternity
Yo, we keep burnin' up the flame
Wish I could rewind all the hands of time
And bring back Daddigon, a great bredrin of mine, I
Sit and remember all the things that we spoke of
All of the serious reasonings, all di tings we make jokes of
Still cannot believe them took your life away
But those who pull the trigger cannot take away
The covenant the righteous have with Jah Jah
So I know I'll see you again, my brother
Well me think
Say, when me look up inna mi life it's plain to see
That it's never gonna be the same
Take another step on towards my destiny
But the memories still remain
Deep inna mi brain, inna mi soul, I hold the key
Said it's never gonna be the same
Throughout life and beyond all eternity
Yo, we keep burnin' up the flame
Fi all the friends and families that have past on
Leaving impressions and memories that will last on
Giving thanks fi all the time that we know them
Reminisce them legacy, that is what we owe them
Because they helped to make us who we are
So let us never forget and talk it near and far
Bless up Grandpa Lee and Aunt Chris-I
Can't forget you if I try
So when me go suh
When me look up inna mi life it's plain to see
That it's never gonna be the same
Take another step on towards my destiny
But the memories still remain
Deep inna mi brain, inna mi soul, I hold the key
Said it's never gonna be the same
Throughout life and beyond all eternity
Yo, we keep burnin' up the flame
Father Bogle (keep burnin' up all the flame, the flame)
Simpleton (never gonna ever gonna be the same, the same)
Peter Cargill (keep burnin' up all the flame, burnin' the flame)
Shorty Malcolm (got memories inna mi brain, mi brain)
Nicole Wynter (keep burnin' up all the flame, the flame)
All friends and families (never gonna forget mi friend, mi friend)
We'll never forget you all (keep burnin' up all the flame, the flame)
('Til Jah Jah link we again)
When me look up inna mi life it's plain to see
That it's never gonna be the same
Take another step on towards my destiny
But the memories still remain
Deep inna mi brain, inna mi soul, I hold the key
Said it's never gonna be the same
Throughout life and beyond all eternity
Yo, we keep burnin' up the flame
For all the friends that have passed on before
We pray that you rest in peace
And Jah keep you safe until we meet again
The lyrics in Sean Paulโs song, โNever Gonna Be the Same,โ speak to the harsh reality of life and death, and the deep sense of loss and sadness that accompanies those left behind. The singer laments the passing of loved ones and the memories that accompany them. The emotions in this song can relate not only to physical death but also to the loss of a relationship, a friendship, or even just the inevitable changes that come with life.
He remembers specific individuals in his life, such as his friend Daddigon and Grandpa Lee, whom he has lost. But he also speaks to the universality of his message, saying, โFor all the friends and families that have passed onโฆimpressions and memories that will last on.โ In other words, the lyrics are very much about mourning but also about the celebration of life and overcoming that grief.
Throughout the song, Sean Paul reminds listeners to โkeep burninโ up the flame,โ a phrase which seems to suggest keeping the memories alive through conversation and storytelling. The theme of the song is ultimately one of hope and perseverance in the face of loss and the ever-changing nature of life.
Line by Line Meaning
As the reality of the times take hold
As we face the harshness of life,
We come to terms with the sadness we bear
We accept the grief we carry
Missing the times we never get to share
Yearning for the moments we could not have
Just a few words because we care
This is a small message but a heartfelt one
Still I got all the memories
Despite loss, reminiscing keeps the beauty of the past alive
Say, when me look up inna mi life it's plain to see
Reflecting on my experience, I understand that
That it's never gonna be the same
Things have changed irreversibly
Take another step on towards my destiny
Moving towards my future
But the memories still remain
However, remembered moments persist
Deep inna mi brain, inna mi soul, I hold the key
I keep the memories locked in my mind and heart
Throughout life and beyond all eternity
These memories will extend beyond time
Yo, we keep burnin' up the flame
We will keep the spirit alive
Wish I could rewind all the hands of time
I regret not being able to go back in time
And bring back Daddigon, a great bredrin of mine, I
Revisit moments with a close friend recently lost
Sit and remember all the things that we spoke of
Together, we shared deep conversations
All of the serious reasonings, all di tings we make jokes of
Discussing serious and humorous topics was our norm
Still cannot believe them took your life away
It's hard to fathom that he was taken from us
But those who pull the trigger cannot take away
Death cannot erase the bond we shared
The covenant the righteous have with Jah Jah
The connection with a greater spiritual force will always persist
So I know I'll see you again, my brother
I believe we will meet again
Fi all the friends and families that have past on
Remembering those who have left us
Leaving impressions and memories that will last on
Their impact on our lives remains
Giving thanks fi all the time that we know them
Being grateful for the time spent with them
Reminisce them legacy, that is what we owe them
For them, we celebrate and honor their legacy
Because they helped to make us who we are
Their presence influenced who we became
So let us never forget and talk it near and far
We should always remember and share their stories
We'll never forget you all
Your memory will always live on
For all the friends that have passed on before
To those who have left us
We pray that you rest in peace
We hope you found tranquility
And Jah keep you safe until we meet again
May a higher power keep them protected until we reunite
