Never Said
Mr Lab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You kept the world as it was before
And there you have found
Just another reality
Feel it in your bones
All around lie your ghosts
Slipping time
You wish you were inside your dream
Stay in my head
It's turning'round
Stay in my head
I need you now...
And all we've never said
All we've never felt before
And all we've never saved
Catch my eyes
Cause I feel lost to understand
What belongs to my own world
It's never said...
I can't lose your eyes
I can't lose your eyes
I can't lose your eyes
Cause I've never wanted to leave you
Poor little boy
I kept the world as it was before
And there I have found
Just my own reality
I keep for myself
All the things that get me wrong
Sleeping tight
Be unreal
I feel alone and so worn
I wish I was inside my dream
The lyrics of Mr Lab!'s song "Never Said" convey a sense of longing and a desire to escape from reality. The opening lines speak to the experience of being trapped in a world that remains unchanged, as the singer addresses a "poor little boy" who has kept the world as it was before. This suggests a feeling of stagnation and a yearning for something more.
The lyrics then shift to a more introspective perspective, as the singer begins to reflect on their own experiences. They feel the presence of unseen forces, described as "ghosts," surrounding them and distorting their perception of time. These ghosts are so vivid that the singer wishes they could enter their dream world, where everything may be more desirable.
The chorus introduces the idea of unspoken words and unexpressed emotions. The singer longs to communicate and connect on a deeper level, as they sing, "All we've never said, all we've never felt before." There is a sense of frustration in not being able to fully understand or grasp what truly belongs to their own world.
The second verse shifts the perspective to the singer themselves, describing how they also have kept the world unchanged and found their own reality within it. They keep their thoughts and feelings hidden, feeling alone and worn. The repetition of "I can't lose your eyes" suggests a strong emotional attachment and a fear of losing the connection with someone important.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never Said" evoke a longing for escape, a yearning for deeper connection and communication, and a sense of being caught between two worlds - the real and the dreamlike.
Line by Line Meaning
Poor little boy
A vulnerable individual who lacks understanding or control
You kept the world as it was before
You preserved and clung to a familiar, stagnant reality
And there you have found
In that state, you discovered
Just another reality
Yet another version of the world
Feel it in your bones
Sense it deeply within yourself
All around lie your ghosts
Your past experiences and regrets are ever-present
Slipping time
The passage of time eludes your grasp
They're so real
These memories and emotions are vividly tangible
You wish you were inside your dream
You long to escape into a desired, ideal world
Stay in my head
Remain in my thoughts and consciousness
It's turning 'round
My mind is swirling and confused
Stay in my head
Continue to occupy my mind
I need you now...
I desperately crave your presence and influence
And all we've never said
The unspoken words between us
All we've never felt before
The emotions we have yet to experience together
And all we've never saved
The things we failed to preserve or protect
Catch my eyes
Capture my attention and understanding
Cause I feel lost to understand
Because I struggle to comprehend
What belongs to my own world
What rightfully belongs in my personal reality
It's never said...
The important things are left unexpressed
I can't lose your eyes
I cannot bear to be without your gaze
Cause I've never wanted to leave you
Because I have always desired to stay with you
Poor little boy
A vulnerable individual who lacks understanding or control
I kept the world as it was before
I maintained the familiar, stagnant reality
And there I have found
In that state, I discovered
Just my own reality
Only my personal version of the world
I keep for myself
I retain privately
All the things that get me wrong
All the aspects of my life that cause me distress
Sleeping tight
Feeling secure and comforted
Be unreal
Appear to be nonexistent or imaginary
I feel alone and so worn
I experience profound loneliness and exhaustion
I wish I was inside my dream
I desire to escape into a desired, ideal world
