Same Old Story
Neve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With nothing to hold onto
You're part of the 'in' crowd
You spend your time thinking out loud
I won't act that surprised
When you find you're out of style
'Cause you always reinvent yourself
Again and again
CHORUS:
I don't want to be
The same old story
Something you can't see
There's nothing for me
If you believe in what you say
The same old story
It wouldn't be the same
You don't find compromise
In the trends that you see
Into the mirror of a chosen few
They could never hold you back
Pretty hard to believe
Looking in the eyes that lack
That you would never think to turn around
Or ever watch your back
You know that you're on a higher plane
'Cause you won't have it any other way
You know it's true sometimes what they always say
Do you believe?
REPEAT CHORUS
Well you know that you're on a higher plane
'Cause you won't have it any other way
You know it's true sometimes what they always say
Do you believe?
I don't want to be
Something you can't see
If you believe in what you say
It wouldn't be the same
REPEAT CHORUS
The song "Same Old Story" by Neve is about a person who is part of the "in" crowd and constantly reinventing themselves, always trying to stay on trend and seeking validation from others. The singer of the song recognizes this behavior and sees through the facade of the person's constant reinvention, realizing that they are just the same old story repeating itself. The chorus reflects a desire to break away from this cycle and be something unique and unseen, rather than conforming to the expected narrative.
The first verse sets the scene for the song and introduces the person who is constantly reinventing themselves. The singer is not surprised that this person will eventually be out of style because they have seen this behavior before. The chorus emphasizes the desire to avoid being part of this same cycle and to be something different, something that cannot be easily seen or put into a box. The second verse describes how the person in question does not compromise on their style, only following the trends they want to follow, and that they look down on others who cannot keep up. The bridge poses the question of whether the person truly believes in what they are doing, or if they are just following the trend for the sake of fitting in.
Overall, "Same Old Story" is a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal norms and trends, and the desire to break away from that cycle and be something unique and true to oneself.

You entered into your younger years with no control over it
With nothing to hold onto

You vocalize your thoughts and opinions without much consideration for their impact

It wouldn't be the same
The outcome would be different
You don't find compromise
You are not willing to make concessions or reach an agreement
In the trends that you see
In the current popular movements or styles
Into the mirror of a chosen few
Looking at the reflection of a select group of people
They could never hold you back
They were never able to hinder your progress or success
Pretty hard to believe
Difficult to accept as true
Looking in the eyes that lack
Gazing into the eyes that lack emotion or depth
That you would never think to turn around
That you were unaware of any potential danger or threat from behind you
Or ever watch your back
Or take precautions to ensure your safety and wellbeing
You know that you're on a higher plane
You are aware that you have a superior status or position
'Cause you won't have it any other way
Because you are determined to maintain your current situation or lifestyle
You know it's true sometimes what they always say
You recognize that some common beliefs or sayings are occasionally correct
Do you believe?
Do you have faith in something or someone?
