Not This Time
Beat Service & Neev Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fuel burns better
Was running on a false hope
That we could be together
The weakness has been broken
But it's left an aching pain
What was I expecting
When I shut my eyes
I still feel you in my arms
And it's you I want
But I can't have you
Not this time
Not this time
Not This
Time
The lyrics of Beat Service & Neev Kennedy's song "Not This Time" are about the pain of a love that cannot be. The singer acknowledges that they knew being with their love interest was not possible, but they still went ahead and hoped for it anyway. They acknowledge that the feeling of being rejected and hurt is intense and feels like the fuel that pushes them forward. They are no longer pretending that they can be together, and the reality of the situation has hit them hard.
The singer reflects on the pain of their failed love, and how the rejection has left aching pain in their hearts. They know that things will never be the same again, and they can't even have what they really want. However, when they shut their eyes, they can still imagine holding their love interest in their arms, which reveals the depth of their emotions. But they accept that it will not happen this time, and they must move on.
Overall, the song is about accepting that sometimes we want something that we can't have. It's about acknowledging the pain of rejection and still being able to move on.

I believed that feeling pain would make me grow stronger
The fuel burns better
The pain I felt was necessary to motivate me to move on
Was running on a false hope
I was holding onto a delusion that we could be together when it was never a possibility
That we could be together
That we could have had a future together
The weakness has been broken
I have overcome my emotional frailty

When I shut my eyes
In moments of stillness and introspection

So many emotions in Neev Kennedies voice. Leave it to trance to show us the way, the way to being everything we want to be, the way our soul craves to be, the way we deserve to be :)
