So Much I Never Said
Artist vs. Poet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You packed me up and send me off,
I thought you might be angry.
The world was dark and it was cold,
No, I don't know this city.
Not giving up,
Won't you come back, just for my sake?
'Cause what we had can't be replaced.
Everyone has somewhere to go.
How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.
(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh [x2])
I thought I heard them say your name
On the overhead loudspeaker.
The time has past- that was yesterday,
This place is overwhelming.
It's sinking in gradually
That you're not coming back for me.
All these high hopes weigh heavily-
Feels like an eternity.
No one else was left alone.
How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.
(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh [x2])
I feel so lost.
Is it terminal?
How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.
How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.
(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh)
So much I never said.
The song "So Much I Never Said" by Artist vs. Poet tells the story of a failed relationship and the regret that comes with it. The song begins with the singer being sent away by their partner, unsure of what they did wrong. They wait anxiously at the airport, hoping their partner will change their mind and come back. As time passes, the singer realizes they're alone and their partner isn't coming back. They feel lost and overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling with the weight of things they never got to say before their partner left.
The chorus of the song reflects the singer's feelings of being unable to return home, both physically and emotionally. The idea of being stranded in a different time zone embodies the sense of being disconnected and unable to move forward. The repetition of the phrase "what happened to us" emphasizes the singer's desperation to understand why things fell apart. The song ends with the same feelings of regret, as the singer acknowledges that there was so much they never got to say.
Overall, "So Much I Never Said" is a powerful exploration of the pain that comes with the end of a relationship. Its emotional lyrics and powerful vocals make it a relatable song for anyone who has struggled to move on from a past love.
