Never Land
Andy Mineo Feat. Marz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking in the distance
I'm dreaming of a world for us
When the moons align
We'll map out a journey for you and I
For you and I
For you and I

In the night, I'm alone
Without you, I'm drifting off
When you, take my hand
I'm so high up I'll never land
Up, up, up, up, up
I'll never land

Aye, look
Everybody wanna be on top
I don't think they know what that means
Once you get there you can't stop
Everybody gunnin for ya spot
Aiming at ya team, I'm up all night, chasing dreams
Everything change when ya go from seeing it all
Big screen to behind the scenes
Leading us on like this the life they lead
You know the rich and famous, kill theyself to stay rich and famous
Very same thing they they built they name with
Be the same thing they they be enslaved with
So, I don't want rap you can have that
I don't want the crown yo I'm aiming past that
Heading for another thrown can't have that
It's a Kingdom where my Dads at
And I'm his son I sing ? and
I'm in some so death won't have that last laugh
Huh, child of a King, royalty
That's ascap
They want glory, money, and power before you go
I promise you it's empty we aiming just way too low
I know we own things we don't need to impress people we don't know
Then we go broke trying to look rich
I can't do it, I just won't
My new goal is to be close to the one that made my soul man
Them other highs will gon' let you down
I'm trying to get so high I'll Never Land

In the night, I'm alone
Without you, I'm drifting off
When you, take my hand
I'm so high up I'll never land
Up, up, up, up, up
I'll never land

I am Rubio with the red jeans
Uhh, Cuomo with the 16's




In the studio, Michelangelo with a microphone writing sistines
But these songs aim for the chapel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Andy Mineo's song Never Land explore a dream of a better world and a better life. He speaks about looking into the distance, dreaming of a world for "you and I" and mapping out a journey, symbolized by moons aligning. The lyrics of the first verse create a longing, suggesting that the world they know is not enough and that they want more for themselves and others.


The chorus of the song, "In the night, I'm alone, without you, I'm drifting off. When you take my hand, I'm so high up I'll never land, up, up, up, up, up, I'll never land," expresses the feeling of being lifted up by someone else's presence. The idea of never landing suggests that he wants someone by his side constantly to help him stay lifted.


The second verse begins with a commentary on what it means to be on top. Mineo is suggesting that one has to keep going once they are up there, and others are always trying to take your spot. It takes hard work to maintain one's success, and the pressures of fame can be intense. Mineo admits to staying up all night chasing his dreams, but he speaks about aiming for something deeper than fame and fortune. He wants to be close to the God who made his soul, rather than the things that will inevitably let him down. The last line of the second verse, "I'm trying to get so high I'll Never Land," connects back to the chorus, indicating once again that he wants help to stay lifted.

Big screen to behind the scenes
The transition from being in the spotlight to being behind the scenes


Leading us on like this the life they lead
People lead us to believe that their life is glamorous


You know the rich and famous, kill theyself to stay rich and famous
Successful people work so hard to maintain their status that they lose themselves in the process


Very same thing they they built they name with
The same thing that brought them fame is now enslaving them


Be the same thing they they be enslaved with

And I'm his son I sing ? and
And I am a child of God


I'm in some so death won't have that last laugh

I am a child of God, therefore, I am royalty


That's ascap
That's my goal


They want glory, money, and power before you go
They want fame, money, and power before they die


I promise you it's empty we aiming just way too low
I promise you that it's meaningless, we should aim higher


I know we own things we don't need to impress people we don't know
We own things that we don't need just to impress strangers


Then we go broke trying to look rich
Then we become poor trying to appear wealthy


I can't do it, I just won't
I cannot continue living like that, I won't do it


My new goal is to be close to the one that made my soul man
My new goal is to be closer to God


Them other highs will gon' let you down
Other forms of happiness will disappoint you


I'm trying to get so high I'll Never Land
I'm aiming for eternal happiness and fulfillment


Up, up, up, up, up
Higher and higher

It's a Kingdom where my Dads at
And I'm his son I sing on
So death won't have that last laugh
Huh, child of a King, royalty
That's ASCAP
They want glory, money, and power before you go
I promise you it's empty we aiming just way too low

I can't do it, I just won't

Them other highs will gon' let you down
I'm trying to get so high I'll Never Land

I am Rufio with the ripped jeans
Uhh, Kool Moe with the 16's
In the studio, Michelangelo with a microphone writing Sistines
But these songs ain't for the chapel
Try to build with others, your own attack you
Try to be a light and them blowing the match you lit
Can't use a shotgun to catch a fish
I'm on using a different tactic
Call me a boom-baptist
Look at this rap cat with glasses
Cooking the track
And every time I look at my past
I laugh like "Heh", you know where I should have been at?
Nowadays I just want to make a classic
Trying to set the bar way above the average
Then smash that for the glory of God
And do rappers like Apple: leave them without Jobs
Sitting on the writer's block
Penning everything that happening and out of ever since the album dropped
Things changed, get the feeling they won't stop
I don't want to grow up, Neverland got no clocks
But, let me give them bars and no shots
To catch em, I got a message about a blessing
But it's written in cursive
You gonna face death
I know the one to reverse it, listen

When I say I get so high
I ain't even talking about sticky no lie
The way up is down
Stay low to the ground and you close to the clouds
When I say I get so high
I ain't even talking about sticky no lie
The way up is down
Stay low to the ground and you close to the clouds
For real, though
