Never
Melon And The Mayhem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started, I was down
Put my speakers in your town
Now I'm runnin' 'round
Coz we plant it on the ground
Why you do me like
Why you do me like?
Why you do me like
Why you do me like?
Acting like you never knew
Like you never knew
Never knew me like
Never knew me like
Here’s another story
Of the one that does it for me
Day 1
Script 1
Chapter 1
I’m the one
I’m the sun
I’m the lung
That you breathe through
See through
Everything
I never hid it from you
See you
Everyday
And I never hit it
Ooo
That’s that friendzone
Endzone
My end goal was to make you
Wifey
Now you on the other
Side
With them other
Guys
Otherwise
I’m just fine
(Fine, fine, fine)
Why you do me like
Why you do me like
Why you do me like
Why you do me like?
Why you do me like
Why you do me like?
Acting like you never knew
Like you never knew
Never knew me like
Never knew me like
Started, I was down
Put my speakers in your town




Now I'm runnin' 'round
Coz we plant it on the ground

Overall Meaning

In "Never," Melon and the Mayhem recount a story of unrequited feelings. The singer cherished their friendship with someone and wanted it to develop into a romantic relationship. However, the other person saw them as only a friend, or as the lyrics put it, "friendzone." The singer felt hurt and confused by the rejection and laments "why you do me like that?" They also mention "planting it on the ground," which may signify trying to sow the seeds of a relationship but not being successful. The rest of the song discusses the singer's feelings and desires for their crush, how they feel that they were blinded by their friendship and couldn't see their feelings for them, and how they feel disappointed that their efforts to develop a romantic relationship were ignored or rejected.
