[Happy Live Surprise ] - Sum 41 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sure they never knew enough
I know the pressures won't go away
It's too late
Find out the difference somehow
It's too late to even have faith
Don't think things will ever changeYou must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me 'cause now's the time to try
Don't wait, the chance will pass you by
Time's up to figure it out
You can't say it's too late
Seems like everything we knew
Turned out were never even true
Don't trust, things will never change
You must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Some say we're better off without
Knowing what life is all aboutI'm sure they'll never realize the way
It's too late
Somehow it's different everyday
In some ways it never fades away
Seems like it's never gonna change
I must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
The lyrics of "Some Say" by Sum 41 reflect themes of defiance, self-reliance, and challenging societal expectations. The opening lines suggest a resistance to the idea of growing up and conforming to societal norms, with the singer asserting that those who believe in never growing up don't understand enough about life's pressures. The phrase "It's too late" repeats throughout the song, perhaps indicating a sense of resignation or acceptance of the challenges that come with adulthood.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of thinking for oneself and making independent decisions. The singer expresses confidence in their ability to handle obstacles alone and acknowledges that even if they fail, they will take responsibility for their actions. The notion that "It's so easy after all" implies that despite the challenges, navigating life independently is ultimately achievable and rewarding.
The lyrics also touch on the passage of time and the urgency to seize opportunities before they pass by. The mention of realizing the difference every day and the need to figure things out before it's too late conveys a sense of urgency and the importance of taking action. The repeated refrain "You must be dreaming" suggests skepticism towards those who fail to see the potential for change or growth.
The song's conclusion circles back to questioning societal norms and perspectives on life. The singer challenges the idea that we are better off not knowing the true meaning of life, highlighting the need for personal growth and understanding. The repetition of the phrase "Think before you make up your mind" underscores the importance of thoughtful decision-making and self-awareness. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to believe in their own abilities and not to be deterred by doubts or limitations.
