Never Be The Same
People & Songs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the evening sets
in the hunters chest.
When drunks are drunk enough
to take a rest.
When beams of light comes and goes mysteriously.

When the children laughs
and kinfolk dance.
the crippled said
""this is what we get""
On the road between
becoming and never gonna be.

I saw you standing
in the window again
With your high hopes.

I see you put
another year behind
and now the snow comes.

We have moved the couch around
A couple of times,
Learnt new stuff about Feng Shui.

I reckon that you haven't
even noticed how we all try.

It's layer by layer we build
as time goes.

But you push yourself thru
each year.
That's how weed grows.

Stubbornly we raise our fists
Headbutt, turn and twist
Like two goats.

I'm no different from you
and we will know...

When the evening sets
in the hunters chest.
When drunks are drunk enough
to take a rest.
When beams of light comes and goes mysteriously.

When the children laughs
and kinfolk dance.
the crippled said
""this is what we get""




On the road between
becoming and never gonna be.

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Be the Same" by People & Songs has a complex set of lyrics that require an insightful interpretation. The song's lyrics are about the passing of time and the inevitability of change. The song begins by describing a setting in which the day ends, and the night begins. In this setting, people have had enough to drink and are ready to rest, while children play and families dance. The song then shifts focus to the idea of becoming something versus never getting there. It talks about the concept of building layer by layer, the same way one would build something over time. The song urges listeners to push through each year, just as weeds push through the ground each year. The song then ends with a reminder that we all experience life's ups and downs, and as time passes, we must accept that change is inevitable.


One possible interpretation of the song is that it is a reminder of how quickly time passes and how we must appreciate every moment. We must keep pushing ourselves to grow and evolve, just as weeds push through the ground in their quest to grow. The song suggests that we all experience challenges and difficulties, but we must keep moving forward despite them. In this way, the song serves as a powerful reminder of the human spirit's resilience and our ability to overcome adversity, year after year.

Observation of someone else's journey


in the window again
Watching and wondering


With your high hopes.
Holding onto dreams and aspirations


I see you put
Noticing growth and change


another year behind
The passage of time


and now the snow comes.
Seasonal change, reflecting life's changes


We have moved the couch around
Making small changes to improve life


A couple of times,
Trying different solutions


Learnt new stuff about Feng Shui.
Taking new ideas and putting them into practice


I reckon that you haven't
Thoughts on someone else's personal journey


even noticed how we all try.
Unseen efforts made by others


It's layer by layer we build
Step by step, piece by piece, we create our lives

As we live out our days

The struggle to succeed and thrive


each year.
Continuously working to improve life


That's how weed grows.

Facing obstacles head-on and looking for solutions


Like two goats.
Just like stubborn and determined animals

We are all on a journey together


and we will know...
Only time will tell, but we must keep pushing forward


When the evening sets
As the day draws to a close


in the hunters chest.
The end of another journey


When drunks are drunk enough
When all is said and done


to take a rest.
When we can finally lay down our burdens


When beams of light comes and goes mysteriously.
The beauty and strangeness of life's journey


When the children laughs
The joy and innocence of youth


and kinfolk dance.
The love and togetherness of family and community


the crippled said
Even those who may struggle still find moments of happiness


""this is what we get""
Accepting the good and the bad in life's journey


On the road between
In the midst of life's journey


becoming and never gonna be.
Trying our best to create change and growth despite obstacles

Come all you weary
Come all you saints
Come to the Fountain
To the edge of the banks
The water is stirring
The tides are now turning
Jump in the River of Grace
The Spirit is searching
Hearts are returning
Jump in the river of grace
I’m not who I once was
My whole life has been changed
I met the Forgiver
And now this sinner
Will never be the same

He took my burdens
He took my guilt
He carried the hurting
Up calvary’s hill
He’s calling the lost
To the foot of the cross
Where all the broken are healed
Where He died my death
To give me His breath
Oh, now my future is sealed

And now I live Resurrection Power



Isaac Hernandez Sanchez

Never be the same (Portuguese lyrics)

Venha tudo o que você cansado
Venham todos vocês santos
Venha para a Fonte
À beira dos bancos
A água está mexendo
As marés estão mudando
Venha pular no Rio da Graça

Eu não sou quem eu já fui
Toda a minha vida mudou.
Eu conheci o Perdoador
E agora esse pecador
Nunca mais será o mesmo.

Ele pegou meus fardos.
Ele levou a minha culpa.
Ele carregava o dano
Morro do Calvário
Ele está chamando os perdidos
Ao pé da cruz
Onde todos os quebrados são curados
Onde Ele morreu a minha morte
Para me dar seu hálito
Oh, agora meu futuro está selado

Come all you weary
Come all you saints
Come to the Fountain
To the edge of the banks
The water is stirring
The tides are now turning
Jump in the River of Grace
The Spirit is searching
Hearts are returning
Jump in the river of grace
I’m not who I once was
My whole life has been changed
I met the Forgiver
And now this sinner
Will never be the same

He took my burdens
He took my guilt
He carried the hurting
Up calvary’s hill
He’s calling the lost
To the foot of the cross
Where all the broken are healed
Where He died my death
To give me His breath
Oh, now my future is sealed

And now I live Resurrection Power
