Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I need to open wide
And pour my heart out to you
But I'll just get denied
And all I want is someone to hear what I'm going through
Every time that I need you around,
Your never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But your never there (never there)
Your never there (never there)
You were supposed to see
All the signs I left to read
Infront of your face
You were supposed to be
The closest thing to being me
But your furthest away
That's because
Every time that I need you around,
Your never there (never there)
Your never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But your never there (never there)
Your never there (never there)
Your never there
Your never there
And I doubt
That I will ever find out
If there's a way to get out
Of feeling all alone
Cause lately
I've been thinking maybe
If no ones gonna save me
I'll do it on my own
On my own
On my own
Everytime that I need you around,
Your never there (never there)
Your never there (never there)
Because in my life is where I need you now
But your never there (never there)
Your never there (never there)
Your never there...
The lyrics of "Never There" by Hoobastank depict a sense of loneliness and desperation. The singer of the song is going through an emotional turmoil that they want to express to another person, hoping for comfort and guidance. However, the person they are reaching out to is "never there" for them, leaving them feeling abandoned and even more isolated. The singer acknowledges that they have tried communicating their feelings, but the other person always denies them without listening or understanding.
The song also highlights the pain of unmet expectations. The singer thought that the other person would understand them better than anyone else, seeing through all the signs they left behind. However, the reality is disappointing. The person they are looking for is "the closest thing to being me," but, in reality, they are "furthest away." The thought of being alone and unsupported is terrifying, and the singer doubts they will ever find out if there is a way out of that fear. They acknowledge the possibility of taking matters into their own hands if no one else is willing to help.
"Never There" is an emotionally charged song that tells a story of a person crying out for help and finding no one to turn to. The lyrics are raw and honest, and the music accompanying them is equally intense, with heavy guitar riffs and powerful vocals.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm filling up inside
I have a lot of emotions and thoughts that are overwhelming me
Like I need to open wide
I feel like I need to express these emotions and thoughts to someone
And pour my heart out to you
I want to share my deepest feelings with you
But I'll just get denied
I expect that you won't listen or understand
And all I want is someone to hear what I'm going through
I just want someone to listen and empathize with me
Every time that I need you around,
Whenever I need you to be there for me,
Your never there (never there)
You're never available to support me
Because in my life is where I need you now
I need you to be present and involved in my life right now
You were supposed to see
I expected you to notice
All the signs I left to read
The things I've been doing or saying that indicate that I need your help
In front of your face
They were obvious and right in your sight
You were supposed to be
I thought you would be
The closest thing to being me
Someone who understands me as well as I understand myself
But your furthest away
However, you are distant from me
And I doubt
I don't have much hope
That I will ever find out
That I will discover
If there's a way to get out
If there's a solution to this problem
Of feeling all alone
Of the loneliness I am experiencing
Cause lately
Because recently
I've been thinking maybe
I've been considering the possibility
If no ones gonna save me
If no one is going to come to my rescue
I'll do it on my own
I'll have to manage it by myself
On my own
Independently and without any help
Your never there...
You're never there to help me through my struggles
