Everytime
Pennywise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I turn around I see places that look so unreal
Every time I try to say exactly how I feel
And when I look at you I see a different side each and every time
I try to find another place there's nothing I can find
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens ever time you're in my mind
I want to say things that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
Won't ever know until I try
I just gotta know why
Wouldn't you like all the best things out of life?
All you got to do is just try then run for your life
All you gotta do is what's best for you
All you gotta do is get through and run for your life
A silence speaks to me a voice that seems so far away
The unheard cries of wasted lives I hear them everyday
Left in this sullen room I search for things that I can find
To hold on to to help me through nothing can be divined




All of these images start crumbling from my memory
I search my mind go back in time to the way things used to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pennywise's song "Everytime" seem to be about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The first verse discusses the singer's frustration at trying to express their emotions but feeling like they can't find the right words. They seem to be in a constant state of trying to find something that feels real, but are always let down. When they look at the people around them, including the person they're addressing in the chorus, they see different sides of them each time and can't quite figure out how to connect.


The chorus suggests a feeling of desperation and urgency. The singer wants to say something important to this person but isn't confident enough to do so. They feel like time is slipping away and they need to act fast, but they're not sure what the right course of action is. The second verse seems to highlight the overall sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer is grappling with. They describe being alone in a room and searching for something, anything, to hold on to. They hear the cries of wasted lives and feel like everything they once believed in is slipping away.


Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulty of navigating a confusing and uncertain world. The singer is trying to find their place and connect with others, but is constantly facing setbacks and disappointments. The chorus serves as a call to action, urging the listener to take control of their life and pursue what they truly want, but the verses suggest that this is easier said than done.

I search my mind go back in time to the way things used to be
In my mind, I travel back to the past and ponder over the preceding scenarios.
