Never
Fat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mud is my name and I'm lower than the dirt
I've got a full-proof plan to stop me getting hurt
By you or anyone who tries to pull it off
So give me your best shot
I won't even compensate
I got broke by a high tide, come inside
I try to make myself an exile for awhile
I got away now to stop you getting in
After use it would be easy to develop thick skin
And now I'm coming to my heyday
I am prepared to jump again into the fray
I said well maybe I won't, maybe I'll sound bad
It will be so easy, instead of getting hurt again
Dumped into the pressures of a life's day
I hide under the covers and wait for it to go away

I understand that it's downtime
But life has been so long livin' by lamplights

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have
And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see
And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be
And all the writing on the wall is words that I will never read

So come into my room
Where I'm reigning supreme
I said my hair is dirty and my sink is never clean
You think I lead my life in fear
Well, if I keep it this way
You know nobody ever comes in here
I like it like that
Curled in the corner on the bedroom mattress
I said "I can see for miles now"
And if I stay still, I stand no chance of going down

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me, let me out
Screamin' and I shout
Now I break my water spout
Listen to the sound as my life comes pouring out
You're working at a pool what did ya know?
I give myself to people I hate, that's how it goes

I understand that it's downtime
But life has been so long livin' by lamplights

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have
And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see
And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be
And all the writing on the wall is words that I will never read

Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got
I aspire and desire to the things that I am not
'Cause I need, and I greed, and I feel that is real
On my knees, I will kneel with the web of steel
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got, yeah
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got
Gimme what you got, yeah

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have
And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see
And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be
And all the writing on the wall is words

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have
And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see
And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be
And all the writing on the wall, you know it's words I'll never read

And all the things I really want, are things that I will never have
And all the things I want to see, are things that I will never see




And all the things I want to be, are things that I will never be
And all the writing on the wall, you know it's words I'll never read

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Never" by Fat are a beautiful ode to living in the present moment and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us. The opening lines set the scene for a night of revelry and connection with others, as the singer describes themselves as "two glasses in" and surrounded by "hard edges melting round a wall of smiles that's oh so bright." The sense of timelessness and unity is palpable, as the singer describes being "soaking in reverb / outside of time" and feeling like they're in "a poem next to perfect lines."


The imagery throughout the song is rich and evocative, as the singer describes being "struck by a wavy crescent straight from Vincent's Starry Night" and feeling warmth in their chest and space in their head. The references to moments of connection with others are subtly included, as when the singer describes "whispering names / catching a breath" and feeling as though there's no tomorrow.


The repeated refrain of "never let it go" reinforces the importance of staying present and appreciating the moment we're in. The phrase "the only never in forever" underscores the fact that while everything else is impermanent, the present moment can be cherished forever if we allow ourselves to fully experience it.


Overall, "Never" is a beautiful meditation on the importance of living in the present moment, and a reminder to appreciate the beauty and connection that surrounds us.

At hands bound by
Our bodies are touching and physically connected


Dances we had
We're remembering and cherishing a shared experience


Whispering names
We're saying each other's names softly


Catching a breath
We're feeling a moment of pause and stillness


There’s no tomorrow
We're not thinking about the future, only the present moment


Never let it go
We need to hold onto this experience forever

It's bull.
When you are actually workingout, you need to eat probably 1.5-2x more, or you will be in a Caloric Deficit.
So I don't believe that some sauce makes her gain weight, if she is working out & supposedly giving 110%.

Just look how much those body builders & powerlifters eat.
They are eating like 10,000-12,000 calories a day!!
They are all saying that the most difficult part is to eat that much a day!!
*
It's actually my biggest issue.
When I work out, I eat a lot.
And when I don't workout, I still eat a lot.

“You can destroy an entire week’s effort in just a meal or two and you don’t have to be a binge eater to do that” This hit close to home. Thanks for the necessary reality check.

@KianaDocherty

@7MonarC

Tell amberlynn that

@themotivator2587

So true. If I indulge on a holiday, it may take a week of healthy eating to start losing weight again.
