Their names are Mario, Grant, Henry, Dominick and Matt. They write songs — scratch that, primitive teenage battle cries — about girls and America and being suspended from high school. Although one might categorize The Orwells’ distinct brand of the blues as garage or punk, they would be wrong. The Orwells sound comes from a deeper, different place–a place both long forgotten and also timeless.

For The Orwells, Remember When will be an introduction of sorts—the 12-track rat-race shows the band’s repertoire of pranging riffs and sneering, snot-nosed vocals. The tracks are a walloping war-cry from a generation that up until this point has only offered bubblegum pop—the animus of The Orwells. It’s quite clear early on the in listening to the LP that the band is well aware of the past, the homage rings through the record, using the ghost of punk’s past as their musical sprit guide. However, the band straddles the thin line between their influences and their originality, ripping riffs and smashing drums in a fashion that their age into being just another fact mentioned in their bio.

Never Ever
The Orwells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn I feel lazy
But don't forget to wake me
we got this fear of aging
were living in a daydream

tell me was she's shaking
tell me what were chasing
we got this fear of aging
i know when somethings changing changing changing

but damn i feel lazy
dont forget to wake me
we got this fear of aging
were living in a daydream daydream daydream

I know when somethings changing
we got this fear of aging
were living in a daydream
tell me what were chasing
i know when somethings changing changing
but damn i feel lazy
now that somethings changed me

were living in a daydream
damn i feel lazy
but you forgot to wake me




we got this fear of aging
were living in a daydream daydream daydream

Overall Meaning

The Orwells's song "Never Ever" is a deceptively simple exploration of the fear of aging and the desire to stay in a blissful state of ignorance. The opening lines, "Damn I feel lazy, but don't forget to wake me" suggest a reluctance to engage with the world and a desire to stay in a state of comfortable numbness. As the song continues, the fear of aging becomes more pronounced with the repeated refrain, "We got this fear of aging, we're living in a daydream." The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the intensity of the fear and the urge to stay in a state of denial.


The second verse continues to explore this theme of fear and denial with the lines, "Tell me what were chasing, I know when somethings changing." These lines suggest a lack of direction and a sense of aimlessness, as well as a recognition that change is inevitable, but still feared. The final lines of the song, "We got this fear of aging, we're living in a daydream, tell me what we're chasing, now that somethings changed me" convey a sense of confusion and apprehension in the face of change.

But don't forget to wake me
Please remind me to not sleep too much and to stay alert.


We got this fear of aging
We are scared of getting old and all the changes that come with it.


We're living in a daydream
We are living in an imaginary world or an unrealistic fantasy.


Tell me was she's shaking
Can you describe what is happening with her body, is she trembling or upset?


Tell me what were chasing
Let's share our goals and dreams, what are we trying to achieve?


I know when somethings changing changing changing
I am aware that things around me are evolving, moving or transforming.


Now that somethings changed me
After going through a transformative experience or moment, I feel different or changed.
