In 1996, Oversoul 7 came together as members Geri Soriano-Lightwood, Ramin Sakurai, (Bassist)) Kiran Shahani, and (Guitarist) Rick Torres released "Nothing Like Tomorrow" and "What's the Deal" on two compilations on the Moonshine Music dance label. After the Moonshine releases, Oversoul 7 signed a demo deal with A&M records recording demos of "Truth From Fiction", "Never the Same", and "Last Girl on Earth", all songs which ended up on the now classic "Supreme Beings of Leisure" debut album (released on Palm Pictures label).
The release of the first Supreme Beings of Leisure album sold over 250,000 units with very little promotional touring. Instead, SBL opted to use the internet to market and promote the album, becoming the first band ever to do a "Virtual Internet Tour", and was among the first to use Flash animation for their videos, making them the first true "Internet Band" of the new millennium.
After the release of their debut album, the group disbanded. The core duo of Soriano-Lightwood and Sakurai, however, released the second SBL album "Divine Operating System" shortly thereafter in 2002. In 2003, SBL left Palm Pictures, taking a three year hiatus, releasing various remixes and appearing on various other artists' albums. In 2006, Supreme Beings of Leisure started writing material which coalesced into a new album, the highly anticipated 11i.
Never the same
Supreme Beings of Leisure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You taste like home to me
Echoing reverberations
I am now remembering
Your kiss is a dream
Elations extreme
One step closer
And now I'm never the same
Never the same girl twice
Oh no I'm never the same
Never the same girl twice
Not the same girl you loved last night
Mysterious chemistry
Someone's cookin in the kitchen
Elixir of the pearl
A luscious berry swirl
I'm losin' some sleep
No company I'd rather keep
One step closer
I am one step closer to heaven
And now I'm never the same
Never the same girl twice
Oh no I'm never the same now
Never the same girl twice
Not the same girl you loved last night
( Not the same girl you fucked last night )
Never the same
Never the same girl twice
Oh no I'm never the same now
Never the same girl twice
Not the same girl you loved last night
Not the same girl you loved last night
Never the same, never the same.
Never the same, never the same.
Never the same, never the same.
The lyrics of Supreme Beings Of Leisure's song "Never the Same" seem to be talking about a person who is infatuated with someone who they find addictive like a drug. The line "Soft hands my drug, you taste like home to me" indicates that person is addicted to the touch and feel of the other person. The line "Your kiss is a dream, elation's extreme" indicates that the person is experiencing intense pleasure just by being near the other person.
The chorus "And now I'm never the same, never the same girl twice, oh no I'm never the same, never the same girl twice, not the same girl you loved last night" emphasizes on how the person has changed after experiencing the sensual pleasures with the other person. It's almost as though the person has been transformed into a completely different version of themselves.
The bridge ("Mysterious chemistry, someone's cookin' in the kitchen, elixir of the pearl, a luscious berry swirl, I'm losin' some sleep, no company I'd rather keep") indicates that the person is experiencing a strong attraction to the other person and is finding it hard to resist their chemistry. The last line of the bridge "No company I'd rather keep" indicates that the person is getting completely absorbed and taken away by their attraction towards the other person.
