U Never Know
Lapalux feat. Andreya Triana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hang my down blazer and plat my hair
Never on time, that's the way it goes
When I'm dragging my heels down Atlantic Road
Rich in poor girls clothes
They kept me safe when the world was cold
It didn't matter they were worn out before
When we were noting, we had it all
You're arms of loving kept me warm
And all I wanted
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
I think you're something that I wan to be
Your arms of warmth wrapped around me
And I'm coming home
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
You take my hand when I cut my need
You kiss it better, you heel me
And even now when it get's too much you're by my side
And I'm rich in second hand clothes
They kept me safe when the world was cold
It didn't matter they were worn out before
I never wanted for anything more
When we were noting, we had it all
You're arms of loving kept me warm
And all I wanted
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
I think you're something that I wan to be
Your arms of warmth wrapped around me
And I'm coming home
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
We laugh, we cry, we get by
We gotta be strong
Always gotta stay strong
We struggle, we fight when we rise
And we gotta be strong
Always gotta stay strong
Cause you gave me everything you never had
When we were noting, we had it all
You're arms of loving kept me warm
And all I wanted
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
I think you're something that I wan to be
Your arms of warmth wrapped around me
And I'm coming home
'Cause you gave me everything you never had
The song “U Never Know” by Lapalux feat. Andreya Triana is a beautiful ode to gratitude and the power of love. The lyrics are reflective and reminisce about past experiences that have shaped the singer's life. The opening lines of the song evoke a nostalgic feeling as September fades and autumn sets in. The singer is taking off his or her down blazer and “platting” (braiding) their hair. They acknowledge that they are never on time, but that's the way it goes. This line indicates that the singer is comfortable with their unpredictable nature and is not too worried about sticking to rigid schedules.
The singer then reflects on how their life has been enriched by the presence of people who have loved and cared for them. They mention how they have been rich in both “rich in poor girls' clothes” and “second-hand clothes”. These instances highlight how the people in their lives have taken care of them, even if they didn't have a lot. Despite the clothes being worn out, the singer never “wanted for anything more”. This indicates that the singer is satisfied with the simple things in life and that they have always been grateful for what they have had.
The chorus of the song is a reminder of the love and support that the singer has received. The singer acknowledges how their partner has given them everything they never had. The warmth of their partner's arms is something that they want to be and reminisces about how their warmth has kept them safe and comforted them through difficult times. The song is a beautiful reminder to cherish those who love us and have given us everything they never had.

When the bass drops so does the quality, if youre playing out of normal iPhone speakers. This isnt Lapalux’s, Youtube’s or my phone’s fault; the bass is so intense in this that normal iPhone speakers cant process the threshold of it.
THAT is how amazing this song is

I dream of a time where amazing artists/producers such as Mura Masa, Wayvee, OBESON, 2X2A, Tomas Barford, Clams Casino and many more collab with Lapalux and with each other.
