You Never Know
Anita Lipnicka/Porter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And painted all four of your walls in black
You hung up your hat cause
Sticks and stones
Have overgrown
And now your just mad
And I can't fix that
Just like the sun rises in the east
When you've had enough
Seems like giving up
Is all thats left to do
Even if you want to
I'm never gonna let you
I'm never gonna let you
So throw your tantrum
Then go and throw all your garbage away
Get rid of yesterday
Pick yourself up
Then fill your half empty cup up with faith
It's gonna be okay
Cause you can count on me
Just like the sun rises in the east
When you've had enough
Seems like giving up
Is all thats left to do
Even if you want to
I'm never gonna let you
I'm never gonna let you
I'm never gonna let you stop
Your dreaming
Stop, believing
Yeah you can count
You can count on me
Just like the sun rises in the east
When you've had enough
Seems like giving up
Is all that's left to do
Oh, even if you want to
I'm never gonna let you
I'm never gonna let you
No
I'm never gonna let you
O I'm never gonna let you
The lyrics to You Never Know by Anita Lipnicka/Porter speak to a friend or loved one who is going through a tough time. The song starts with the singer painting their walls black and being stuck in a negative mindset. The message throughout the song is that even when one feels like giving up or giving in to negativity, there is always someone who cares and will be there to support them. The line "Seems like giving up is all that's left to do, even if you want to" really encapsulates the feeling of hopelessness that can come in times of difficulty. However, the singer makes it clear that they won't give up on their loved one, no matter what.
The chorus, "You can count on me, just like the sun rises in the east" is a powerful analogy. It reinforces the idea that just as the sun will always rise in the east, the singer will always be there for their friend, no matter what. The song ends with the words "I'm never gonna let you" repeated several times. It's a comforting message that reassures the listener that they are not alone, and that someone is there for them, no matter what.

Today you woke up
You started a new day
And painted all four of your walls in black
You painted your entire room black, representing your negative feelings

You gave up
Sticks and stones
