I Can Never Be
Maverick Sabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
I tried so many times to be where you wanted,
So much better than before,
And I tried to say them things that you wanted to hear
But, it never never never worked, no. hmm,
And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.
I can picture you lying beside me,
Still remember kissing your face and watching you smile,
I can never be something I'm not and you know it.
But, I wish I could hold your hand, and tell you it's alright.
But, it's all so hard not to speak to you,
'Cause I want to hear your voice again.
And it's all so hard not to speak to you,
'Cause I want to hear your voice again.
And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that you'll never make me change
And you know that the manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.
And you know I can never be,
What you want me to be,
And you know that I'll never be changed
'Cause that manual isn't inside of me
So, I might as well just walk out into the rain.
Eh eh eh
No no no no
I can never never be what you want me to be,
'Cause the manual isn't inside of me
In Maverick Sabre's song, "I Can Never Be," the artist expresses his inability to change or be what someone else wants him to be. The lyrics suggest that he has tried to be what his partner wants multiple times, but it never worked out. Sabre acknowledges that the "manual isn't inside of me," meaning that he doesn't know how to become what his partner expects. Instead of continuing to try and change, he decides to walk out into the rain, indicating that he would rather find his own path than conform to another's expectations.
Sabre also reflects on the positive moments he shared with this person and how difficult it is not to speak to them. He admits that he wishes he could hold their hand and let them know everything will be alright. However, he acknowledges that he cannot be what they want him to be, and the manual to do so does not exist within him.
Overall, the song's message is about the importance of being yourself and not feeling like you have to change to please someone else. Sabre's emotionally charged vocals and lyrics convey the difficulty of this lesson, but the message remains clear - be true to yourself.
