With the common history of social rejection between Melanie Levy (vocals) and Kevin Sur (guitar), the two wanted to have the chance to musically express these frustrations upon the 1996 formation of their band Luckie Strike. Accompanied by bassist Dre Gallardo and drummer Liz Beidelman, the band set up camp in their native Sacramento, California and developed a small following from all those who could relate to their tales of being picked on in high school. With an addition to their fast paced aggression and tender, melodic vocals, Pork n Beans Records released the bands full-length debut Geekcore in 1997. A heavy tour across the United States followed in support of the album 1998. An EP Future Is Turning was released on {Tomato Head Records} in mid-2000. Future Is Turning followed in spring 2001.
Never Be The Same
Luckie Strike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it my fault
What I tried to figure out
A personal assault
I share with you
In my aim
I wish you felt the same
Am I just caught up
Still leaving with a grin
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same again
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same again
Am I just a clown?
Was it my fault
What I tried to figure out
A personal assault
I share with you
In my aim
I wish you felt the same
Am I just caught up
In this mess I'm in?
Still leaving with a grin
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same again
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same again
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same
On my guilty face
And I feel like a liar
But this was getting tired
And things will never be the same again,gain', gain'
The lyrics to Luckie Strike's song "Never Be The Same" describe a situation where the singer is questioning whether they were to blame for a personal attack that they experienced from someone close to them. They wonder if they were just a clown or if it was their fault that they couldn't figure out what was going on. Despite feeling guilty and like a liar, they continue to leave with a grin, possibly because they know that things will never be the same again. The repetition of the line "On my guilty face, and I feel like a liar" emphasizes the internal struggle the singer is facing and how they are attempting to come to terms with the situation.
The phrase "things will never be the same again" carries a sense of finality and closure, indicating that the singer is resigned to the fact that their relationship with this person will be forever changed. This may be a difficult reality to accept, but the singer is trying to move forward and accept the situation as it is. The use of the word "caught up" also suggests that the singer has become entangled in this situation, perhaps unwillingly, and is struggling to try and navigate it.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of confusion, frustration, and disappointment with a past relationship or encounter. The singer is trying to come to terms with what happened and move on, but it is clear that the experience has left a lasting impact on them.
