I'll Never Know
Goldenhorse Lyrics

The lyrics to Goldenhorse's song, "I'll Never Know" depict a struggle with the societal norms and expectations imposed on individuals by the media and materialist culture, and how an individual can find a way out of that oppressive cycle with the help of someone they love. The first stanza references the idea of the "stairway to hell," which symbolizes the idea that often what society deems as success leads to destruction and misery. The second line states that such ideas are reinforced through the media and stories that we hear on TV. The chorus, "I'll never know what came over me, I only know that you showed me how to live differently," highlights the confusion, even regret, that the singer faces after having realized that they have been blindly following the societal norms, but also the gratitude they feel for being shown a different path.

The verse "what good is it, material games, what can we do to relieve your pain," suggests that materialistic pursuits do not bring true happiness, but instead cause pain and suffering. The song expresses the desire to break free from that pain and the endless cycle of consumerism, which leads to the chorus of wanting to prove that the world is wrong. The repetition of the line "I only want to be with you, and we can prove this world is wrong" suggests that love and human connection are the way to overcome societal pressures.

Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call for individuals to reject society's expectations and find their own path to happiness. It celebrates the transformative power of love in helping an individual to recognize the emptiness of materialist pursuits and forge a new path.
