Never
JennyLee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never, never
Not for you, not for them
Not for all the things
Not for all the things that make me feel bad
I said never never never never never never never
Not for you, not for them
Not for all the things
That make me, make me
That make me, make me feel bad
That make me, make me
That make me, make me
That make me, make me say never
I say never never never
The song "Never" by JennyLee is a powerful anthem about setting firm boundaries and saying no. The lyrics repeat the phrase "never" to drive this point home and emphasize the importance of standing up for oneself. The lines "Not for you, not for them" suggest that the song is directed towards people who may try to pressure the singer into doing things that are not good for them.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of self-preservation and protecting oneself from things that cause harm or negative feelings. The repetition of the line "Not for all the things that make me feel bad" emphasizes the importance of taking care of oneself and avoiding situations or people that bring negativity into one's life.

Cant believe I found out about your music through one of my favorite bands Warpaint! Your One of the greatest alternative/folk/genre changing musical artist! Your new album is incredibly raw and honest, this comment probably sounds like such a cliche, but your a musical genius.

The way she says "never" reminds me of Chino of Deftones in "One Weak". He says it in the same key/tone.
