Never Coming Back
The Summer Obsession Lyrics

What is going on
The singer is confused and unsure about what is happening around them.

In my head these days
The singer's thoughts and emotions are overwhelming and hard to manage.

It's like everything I know
The singer feels like they have lost control over their life and surroundings.

Keeps slipping away
The more the singer tries to hold onto things, the more they seem to lose them.

And I'm left with my last
The singer has nothing left except for a small amount of something (gasoline).

Drop of gas
The singer only has a little bit of fuel left for their car.

To get me on my way
The singer intends to use their limited fuel to reach their destination, which is the ocean.

To the ocean
The ocean represents a place of escape for the singer, a place where they can find peace.

10 O'Clock
The singer is expected to be at work by this time.

I should be at my shitty job
The singer does not want to work at their current job because they hate it.

And I can't bring myself
The singer feels like they are lacking the emotional energy to do anything productive.

To stop giving up
The singer feels like they have been trying to make the best of their situation but have given up.

What's the point of living
The singer is questioning the purpose of life.

If I ain't living it up?
The singer feels like they are not enjoying life to the fullest.

Jump, jump into my car
The singer decides to leave their job and start driving away.

Roll the windows down
The singer opens the car windows to feel the breeze.

Turn the stereo up so loud
The singer turns up the music volume to isolate themselves from the world.

I can't hear you now
The singer is deliberately blocking out external noises and distractions.

I'm never coming back
The singer has no intention of going back to their former life.

To reality
The singer is leaving behind their old life and entering a new phase of their life.

'Cause reality is illusion anyway
The singer feels like the world around them is not real and cannot be trusted.

Low, low is the battery to my phone
The singer's phone battery is running low.

And my girlfriend calls
The singer's girlfriend is trying to reach out to them.

She knows that I'm not alone
The singer's girlfriend knows that the singer is with someone else.

And I don't care 'cause I'm gone
The singer does not care about their girlfriend's expectations because they have left their old life behind.

And you don't own me anyway
The singer wants to be free and does not like feeling controlled by the expectations of others.

(Own me anyway)
The singer repeats themselves to emphasize how strongly they feel about not wanting to be owned or controlled.

Save it for a rainy day
The singer's girlfriend should save their issues for a time when they actually care to listen.

If all we are is dust
The singer is questioning the meaningfulness of human existence.

I must keep running away
The singer feels like the only way to deal with the confusion and pain is to escape and run away from their life.

Away...
The singer pauses for a moment before continuing to emphasize their desire to get away.

'Cause it doesn't matter anyway
The singer feels like nothing really matters anymore.

And everything we know
The singer is acknowledging that their understanding of the world is limited.

Everything we see
The singer feels like their perception of reality is not entirely accurate.

Everything we are
The singer is questioning their identity and place in the world.

Is an illusion...
The singer feels like everything is not what it seems to be.

'Cause reality is illusion anyway
The singer repeats that their understanding of the world is not trustworthy and can be deceptive.
