Never Be The Same Again
Puressence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only ever want to see you
When someone tells me that I need to
Supposed to be your resurrection
You should have left it on reflection

Well there's something I'd like to say
Ooh hooo ho
To you

You'll never be the same again
Standing in the rain again
You're feeling lots of pain again
December 28 again
Your famous boxing day again
You'll never be the same again

So you just tell the same old story (you just tell the same old story)
And strike another England's Glory

Well there's something I'd like to say
Ooh hooo ho
Yo you

You'll never be the same again
Standing in the rain again
You're feeling lots of pain again
You're pushed out of the frame again
December 28 again
You'll never be the same again

I saw you standing in the rain again
I saw you feeling all your pain again
I bet you want to go where people go
You're gonna leave a stain again
I saw you standing in the rain again
I saw you feeling all that pain again




Never be the same again
Never be the same again

Overall Meaning

In Puressence's song "Never Be The Same Again," the lyrics reveal a complex mix of emotions. The song appears to be addressed to a person whom the singer has grown distant from. The first two lines suggest that the singer only wants to see this person in response to someone else's urging, as if it's a chore rather than a desire. The phrase "Supposed to be your resurrection/You should have left it on reflection" hints at a past connection between the two where the singer was a source of comfort or renewed hope for the other person. However, the singer now believes that the person should have just left the relationship behind.


Throughout the chorus, "You'll never be the same again/Standing in the rain again/You're feeling lots of pain again" emphasizes the emotional toll the relationship has taken on both parties. The reference to Boxing Day (December 26th) in the second verse, followed by "December 28 again," implies some sort of significant event happening between the two individuals around that time, possibly a break-up or another significant loss.


The final lines, "I bet you want to go where people go/You're gonna leave a stain again," suggest that the person being addressed is struggling with their own inner demons and possibly creating negative outcomes for themselves and those around them.
