Kontravoid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
.no matter how"d you never go
And this is all that I can say,
No matter how you all felt
all the same
No matter how far
Only when nothing is wrong
and the day we get done
Always time to complain that we once had
And it's all I can say,
no matter what you never know
And it's all King Kong
No matter what you never know
it's all the same
No matter how far
Only when nothing is wrong
Only when nothing is wrong and the day we got done
Always time to complain what you once had
So lose for nothing,
I give what you never get
it's all the same
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave you what you never know
, it's all the same
AND I AM DONE
Only when nothing's wrong
Only when nothing's wrong and the day we get done
Always time to complain what you once had
The lyrics of Kontravoid's "Native State" are cryptic and open to interpretation. The repeated line "no matter how" suggests a sense of inevitability or futility, the idea that no matter what we do, things will always be the same. This is reinforced by the line "it's all the same, no matter how far," which implies that distance or time cannot change the underlying reality.
The song also touches on the themes of complacency and regret. The line "Always time to complain what you once had" suggests that we often take things for granted and only appreciate their value once they are gone. The singer seems to be reflecting on a past relationship, acknowledging that it's too late to change anything and that they are "done."
The use of repetition throughout the song creates a sense of monotony, reinforcing the idea that the singer is trapped in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and regrets.

All I see, no matter what you haven’t got
And it’s all that I can say
No matter how you all look at it, you’re all the same
No matter how contrived.
I’ll live where nothing’s wrong like the day we’ve left off
All in time like the ways that we once had.
And it’s all I said no matter that you’d never go
And this time can’t call, no matter what you never know
You’re all the same, no matter how contrived.
