Never
Alii Michele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's fun but I felt like I always stuck out like a clown
My mind will start to wonder on its own
And I tend to get lost in a sea of thoughts
Am I in this boat alone
Sometimes I say to myself I need to just let go
Can't always be so cautious, this fear is my home
Never know what to say, I can't use what I got
Never know if I have a place, Try finding where I fit
Listening for that voice inside
I pray, I meditate, I chant, I yell
I'll beg, I'm trying everything I can
Nothing seems to chill me out
These things begin to crumble in the storm
Lines blur and I'm deaf to the world
I'm three planets away
Sometimes I say to myself I need to just let go
Can't always be so cautious, this fear is my home
Never know what to do, I'm good at feeling lost
Never know what to say, I can't use what I got
Never know if I have a place, Try finding where I fit
Listening for that voice inside
I'm calling on
This sense of calm to wash over me
I can't fight it off, I can't push it deep
Gotta face it all, before you face the wall
You built of grief
I need to balance out
I need to find release
Never know what to do, I'm good at feeling lost
Never know what to say, I can't use what I got
Never know if I have a place, Try finding where I fit
Listening for that voice inside

The lyrics are introspective and raw, revealing the singer's inner turmoil and the battle they face against their own fears and doubts. The singer seems to be someone who prefers to stay within their comfort zone, as going out on the town makes them feel like an outsider, and their mind tends to wander on its own, leaving them lost in a sea of thoughts. It seems like the singer is dealing with anxiety, as they are always cautious and fearful, and they pray, meditate, and chant to find a sense of calm, but nothing seems to work.
The singer's struggle to find their place in the world is palpable in the song, as they express uncertainty about what to do, what to say, and whether they have a place to belong. They seem to be searching for a voice inside that can guide them and help them find their way. The chorus repeats the lines "Never know what to do, I'm good at feeling lost, Never know what to say, I can't use what I got, Never know if I have a place, Try finding where I fit, Listening for that voice inside," which serves as a poignant reminder of the singer's struggle to find their purpose and identity.
Overall, "Never" is a deeply emotional and vulnerable song that speaks to the human experience of feeling lost and uncertain. It highlights the importance of seeking help, finding peace within oneself, and being patient and compassionate towards oneself during times of confusion and self-doubt.
