Never Shout Never Lyrics

Nothing is real,
The singer believes that reality is not what it seems.

I know this cause I made a deal,
The singer has experience dealing with a supernatural entity (the devil) and through that interaction, they have come to doubt their perception of reality.

With the devil he told me I was just wasting my time on the moon.
The devil warned the singer that their pursuit (represented by the moon) was pointless and a waste of time.

So I flew to the sun,
The artist pursued a more intense and dangerous goal represented by the sun.

Lost track of my soul on the run,
In seeking new experiences, the artist has lost touch with their inner self.

Suffering 12 degree burns,
The singer has suffered greatly in pursuit of their goals, represented by the physical hardship of the experience.

I learned that the sun was no fun.
The singer realized that the extreme experience they sought was not as fulfilling as they had hoped.

So I ran back to earth,
The artist sought refuge in the familiar and known, represented by returning to earth.

Tripped and fell in the glorified dirt,
Even in attempting to return to familiarity, the artist still experienced hardship and difficulty.

Honestly gravity sees me as a liability.
The artist feels like they are constantly held back and hindered by external forces beyond their control.

So I held my breath,
The singer is preparing for a moment of great intensity or effort.

'Till my soul left my body for dead.
The artist is metaphorically giving themselves over to an extreme emotional or mental experience.

I ripped through the clouds to talk to the man in the sky.
The singer is reaching out to a higher power for guidance and understanding.

I said take this for what it is,
The singer is presenting their thoughts or feelings as they are, without embellishment or apology.

I think you're a tad bit prejudice against,
The singer feels like the higher power they are speaking to is biased or unfair in some way.

The ones like us that are searching for the answers.
The artist feels like they are part of a group of people who are seeking greater knowledge and understanding.

He said kid you don't know shit,
The higher power responds with a dismissive and harsh rebuttal to the artist's concerns or complaints.

You should go back home and live,
The higher power advises the singer to return to a simpler and more grounded existence.

In that quite little town you left behind.
The higher power suggests that the singer should return to a previous state of being or lifestyle.

I don't know what I've been told,
The artist is uncertain and confused about their current situation or future direction.

I will sell my soul to rock and roll.
The artist is willing to commit themselves fully to a particular passion or pursuit (in this case, music).

I have lost control, oh no.
The artist feels like they have lost their ability to guide or direct their own life, and are at the mercy of external forces.
