You Never Know
Sectorseven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tragic death a tragic end
A family tries to comprehend
Beginning with some questions
Why was there a fate deciding time?
A higher power in charge of a life
You never, you never, you'll never know
Why was there a fate deciding time?
You№ll never know, how much time
You could be walking on your last line
You№ll never know, so take a chance
This could be your last day on this blind romance
As you face a hidden fear
A day you thought was no where near
Has now summoned you face to face
In a blur over and done you№ve grown a bit
You№ve wised up some
With more respect for life and things to come
You never, you never, you'll never know
Something turned long ago
Why was there a fate deciding time?
Sectorseven's song "You Never Know" serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life and the importance of cherishing every moment as if it were one's last. The song begins with the singer hearing about a tragic death and questioning why fate has to play a role in deciding a person's time to go. The lyrics emphasize the idea that we never know when our time will come and how important it is to cherish every moment we have, as we could be "walking on our last line" without realizing it.
The chorus "You never, you never, you'll never know / Something turned long ago / Why was there a fate deciding time?" encourages listeners to take a chance and live life to the fullest, as we never know when our time will be up. The second verse describes the fear of facing death and how it can suddenly come without warning. Despite this, the singer has "wised up some" and gained more respect for life and the future.
