Neverland
Laura Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just thirteen and life ain't what is seems
Yeah I know it's bigger than me and you
But I can't see through
There's a place I love to go
It's green and blue and it sparkles through and through
Yeah it's all that I can do
To go to the place that I know
Take my hand, hey Peter Pan
We're off to Never Neverland
I'll begin to love again
If you'll take me just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
All the time I've tasted life
Will I ever be a mother and a wife
Have a house with a fence that's white
And oh do these dreams come true?
There's a land of Tinkerbells and magic spells
And wishing wells and time will tell
But for now I bid farewell
And I go off with Peter Pan
I'm going just as fast as I can
Take my hand, hey Peter Pan
We're off to Never Neverland
I'll begin to love again
If you'll take me just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Take my hand, hey Peter Pan
We're off to Never Neverland
I'll begin to love again
If you'll take me just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Take my hand, hey Peter Pan
I'll see you down in Neverland
I know I can love again
If you'll take me just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
Just the way that I am
I'm running as fast as I can
I'll see you down in Neverland
Laura Shay's song "Neverland" describes a young girl's longing for escape from the pressures of growing up. The lyrics express her disillusionment with the world of "beauty queens and magazines," where life is not what it seems, and she feels trapped and unable to see through to a brighter future. However, there is a place she can escape to, a beautiful and magical land of green and blue that sparkles through and through. This is Neverland, a world of Tinkerbells and magic spells, wishing wells, and unlimited possibility.
The girl longs to go to Neverland, where she can forget her worries and be free. She calls on Peter Pan, the fictional character who never grows up, to take her there. The song implies that the young girl is struggling with the expectations of growing up and feels that her dreams of becoming a mother and a wife may not come true. But for now, she wants to escape to this magical land, where she can forget her worries and be herself.
Overall, "Neverland" is a testament to the power of imagination and the desire to find a place where we can be free and ourselves. The song speaks to anyone who has ever felt trapped or disillusioned, and it encourages us to hold onto our dreams and to keep searching for that magical place where we can truly be ourselves.
