Chance
Polybit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today, I can’t stay
Tried to face
The same, but I can’t stay
‘Cause when you tied me away
I thought today, maybe I can’t stay
So then I tried, tried to face
All of the same things but I can’t stay
Never gonna come around, come around
You gotta ambush the crown, keep from drowning
Never gonna find around this way
Never gonna push me down, push me down
Never gonna come around, come around
You gotta ambush the crown, keep from drowning
Never gonna find around this way
You push me away out of this dark hole
You tell me to stay around good people
But I know you can’t see
What’s good for me, good for me
But is it good for me, good for me
Or is it just what you see
Never got the chance to come and see you
Always got a plan, maybe believe you
Clever with the glance you’re throwing my way
But I’ll never get the chance that I got today
Never got the chance to come and see you
Always got a plan, maybe believe you
Clever with the glance you’re throwing my way
But I’ll never get the chance that I got
The lyrics of Polybit's song "Chance" seem to revolve around a sense of being held back and not being given the opportunity to grow or succeed. The opening lines, "Tied away / Today, I can't stay / Tried to face / The same, but I can't stay," suggest feeling trapped and unable to move forward. This could refer to a toxic relationship or situation that prevents the singer from pursuing their own desires and aspirations.
The repetition of the phrase "Never gonna push me down, push me down / Never gonna come around, come around / You gotta ambush the crown, keep from drowning / Never gonna find around this way" represents the determination and resilience of the singer. They refuse to be discouraged or brought down by outside forces and instead choose to fight for their own independence and freedom.
The following lines, "You push me away out of this dark hole / You tell me to stay around good people / But I know you can't see / What's good for me, good for me," reveal a conflict between the singer and someone else who tries to control their decisions and environment. The singer understands that the other person may have good intentions, but they also realize that their own perspective on what is best for them should be valued and respected.
The chorus continues with the theme of missed opportunities and the frustration of not being given the chance to prove oneself. The lines, "Never got the chance to come and see you / Always got a plan, maybe believe you / Clever with the glance you're throwing my way / But I'll never get the chance that I got today" depict a situation where the singer is let down by someone who consistently makes promises but never follows through. This adds to the feeling of being constantly held back and not given the opportunity to fully explore their potential.
Overall, the lyrics of "Chance" convey a sense of longing for freedom and individuality, as well as frustration with being restrained by others. The singer expresses a desire to break free from the limitations imposed on them and seize the opportunities that come their way, rather than constantly being denied the chance to grow and succeed.

Or is it just what you see
Or is it just your perspective
Never got the chance to come and see you
Never had the opportunity to visit you
Always got a plan, maybe believe you
Always have a strategy, possibly trusting you
Clever with the glance you’re throwing my way
Crafty in the way you look at me
But I’ll never get the chance that I got today
However, I'll never have the same opportunity I had before
