Never Arrive
theBREAX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We haven't made it cause
We're on your radio started at the bottom
See how far we're gonna go
But we haven't arrived yet, yeah
No we'll never arrive, yeah, yeah
I know you think that I'm a star
But I'm giving all I am so
That you can fill my soul
But I haven't arrived yet, yeah!
No I'll never arrive, yeah
But I'm almost there
And it feels like
I'm in a race with time with adjacent minds
Tryna conserve but I keep on wasting time
Never arrive, but I'm never late though
I wanna see my life overflow
When the light grows
Believe it cause they say so
They prayin' to Jesus then
Overindulging off of grape juice
And Grey Goose stay loose
Life assembled by staples
Desire to have strong roots like
Trees that are maples
They got me figured out like
They know what I think
I blink and end up on the verge of my brink
Sometimes it feels like my
Body holds me hostage
And Lord if you don't rescue me
Then send me home on hospice
Tired of the hospital wanna
See the front lines wanna see some action
Please help me touch minds
But first You gotta touch mines
But first I gotta slow down
And stop thinking I have it figured
Out or I know how
To grow now don't mean I'm gonna blow now
Just cause I'm stepping on stages for
Shows that are sold out
All faith no doubt unashamed not proud
This is just the beginnin', first innin'
No outs
We haven't made it cause
We're on your radio started at the bottom
See how far we're gonna go
But we haven't arrived yet, yeah
No we'll never arrive, yeah, yeah
I know you think that I'm a star
When you see me at my shows
But I'm giving all I am so
That you can fill my soul
But I haven't arrived yet, yeah!
No I'll never arrive, yeah
But I'm almost there
Yeah, they look down on a
Artist when he's SO-LOW
But look up and it's still a long way to go
My minds scrabbling
Hopin' my rhymes javelin
Darts to the hearts of
People who time traveling
Sometimes I write it and the people like it
But late at night I hit the
Lights and find I'm still fightin'
I'm still climbin'
Hopin' I don't hit my peak
'for I get a peek
At the mountains of life's peak
I know it sounds deep
But maybe we too shallow
Maybe we too consumed with
Chasin' a fools shadow
Some people say you made it
No, I'm something in the making
'Til my body hit the pavement
My spirit's elevated, I ain't arrive
I ain't the guy with the hypnotized mind
Eyes blind from the shine of
Both of the worlds dimes
I'm chasin' something so divine
I climb 'til I feel myself declining, I die
Without standing on top of
The world's shoulders
They cold but I know that
My moment is even closer
I don't anticipate seeing from the top down
I'm still riding with my top down! Crae!
We haven't made it cause
We're on your radio started at the bottom
See how far we're gonna go
But we haven't arrived yet, yeah
No we'll never arrive, yeah, yeah
I know you think that I'm a star
When you see me at my shows
But I'm giving all I am so
That you can fill my soul
But I haven't arrived yet, yeah!
No I'll never arrive, yeah
But I'm almost there
See, you don't even know what it takes
To get where you wanna be
And live out all of your dreams
Cause you can spend a whole
Lifetime giving your heart
And Still not see the root of it all
But you gotta keep going on
Cause you can spend a
Lifetime giving your heart
And you can see all that you would no long
But you gotta go on, but you gotta go on
The lyrics of theBREAX's song "Never Arrive" reflect the artists' recognition that even though they have achieved some level of success and recognition, they haven't truly "made it" yet. They acknowledge that being on the radio and starting from the bottom are milestones, but they emphasize that there is still a long way to go in their artistic journey. They reject the idea of reaching a destination of ultimate success, asserting that they will never truly arrive.
The lyrics express a sense of urgency, as if the artists are in a race against time and constantly striving to make the most of their opportunities. They acknowledge that they sometimes waste time but remain determined to see their lives overflow with meaning and purpose. They question the authenticity of others' beliefs and behaviors, criticizing those who pray to Jesus but indulge in excessive and superficial pleasures like grape juice and Grey Goose. The artists desire to have strong roots and be understood, but sometimes feel trapped and hostage within their own bodies.
The artists recognize that being on stage and performing sold-out shows doesn't mean they have it all figured out. They assert their faith and remain unashamed but humbly acknowledge that this is just the beginning of their journey, with no end in sight. They are driven to touch minds and make an impact, but emphasize that they first need their own minds touched and need to slow down and adjust their perspective.
The chorus of the song reiterates the theme that, despite their achievements and the perception of being stars, they haven't truly arrived and never will. They acknowledge that giving their all in their performances is about filling the souls of their audience, but emphasize that the journey is ongoing. They express a sense of being "almost there," yet knowing that true arrival is elusive.
In the final verse, the artists address the perspective of others who may look down on them when they are at a low point, but emphasize that there is still a long way to go. They reflect on the struggles and uncertainties they face as artists, constantly fighting and climbing, hoping not to peak too soon. They reject the idea of having "made it" and assert their continuous growth and evolution. They recognize the importance of chasing something divine and refuse to be hypnotized by the allure of worldly success. They embrace the journey and the moments of decline, remaining determined to reach their moment of triumph, even if it means standing on the shoulders of the world.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never Arrive" convey a sense of perseverance, self-awareness, and a rejection of complacency. The artists acknowledge their accomplishments but refuse to settle, recognizing that their journey as artists and individuals is a continuous process with no definitive end point. They strive to make a meaningful impact, both in their own lives and in the lives of others.

We haven't made it cause
We haven't achieved success yet
We're on your radio started at the bottom
Our music is being played on the radio, even though we started from humble beginnings
See how far we're gonna go
Watch and see how much we can accomplish
But we haven't arrived yet, yeah
But we haven't reached our ultimate goal yet
No we'll never arrive, yeah, yeah
We will never truly reach our destination
I know you think that I'm a star
You may perceive me as a celebrity
When you see me at my shows
When you see me performing on stage
But I'm giving all I am so
But I'm giving everything I have
That you can fill my soul
So that you can inspire and fulfill me
But I haven't arrived yet, yeah!
But I haven't achieved my ultimate purpose yet
No I'll never arrive, yeah
I will never truly reach my ultimate purpose
But I'm almost there
But I'm getting closer
And it feels like
And it seems like
I'm in a race with time with adjacent minds
I feel like I'm competing against time and others who are close to me
Tryna conserve but I keep on wasting time
I try to save time, but I keep using it inefficiently
Never arrive, but I'm never late though
I never reach my destination, but I'm always on time
I wanna see my life overflow
I want my life to be abundant
When the light grows
When my success and influence increase
Believe it cause they say so
Believe it because others affirm it
They prayin' to Jesus then
They pray to Jesus and
Overindulging off of grape juice
Excessively drinking wine
And Grey Goose stay loose
And Grey Goose vodka keeps them relaxed
Life assembled by staples
Life put together by stable, ordinary elements
Desire to have strong roots like
A longing to have a solid foundation like
Trees that are maples
Maple trees have deep, strong roots
They got me figured out like
They think they understand me completely
They know what I think
They believe they know my thoughts
I blink and end up on the verge of my brink
I become overwhelmed and reach the edge of my breaking point
Sometimes it feels like my
Sometimes I feel like my
Body holds me hostage
Physical limitations restrain me
And Lord if you don't rescue me
And Lord, if you don't save me
Then send me home on hospice
Then let me die in peace
Tired of the hospital wanna
I'm exhausted from the challenges and want to
See the front lines wanna see some action
Experience real-life struggles and make a difference
Please help me touch minds
Please help me inspire and impact others
But first You gotta touch mines
But first, You need to influence me
But first I gotta slow down
But first, I need to take a step back
And stop thinking I have it figured
And stop assuming I have everything figured out
Out or I know how
Or that I know the way
To grow now don't mean I'm gonna blow now
Just because I'm making progress doesn't mean I'll achieve immediate success
Just cause I'm stepping on stages for
Just because I'm performing on stages for
Shows that are sold out
Sold-out shows
All faith no doubt unashamed not proud
I have complete faith without hesitation, I am not ashamed but humble
This is just the beginnin', first innin'
This is only the beginning, the first stage
No outs
No failures or missed opportunities
Yeah, they look down on a
Yes, they underestimate an
Artist when he's SO-LOW
Artist when he is struggling
But look up and it's still a long way to go
But if you look up, there is still a significant journey ahead
My minds scrabbling
My mind is in chaos
Hopin' my rhymes javelin
Hoping my lyrics pierce through
Darts to the hearts of
Aiming to touch the emotions of
People who time traveling
People who are lost in their memories or thoughts about the past or future
Sometimes I write it and the people like it
Sometimes I write songs and people enjoy them
But late at night I hit the
But late at night, I face
Lights and find I'm still fightin'
The reality and struggle
I'm still climbin'
I'm still striving
Hopin' I don't hit my peak
Hoping I haven't reached my highest point yet
'for I get a peek
Before I get a glimpse
At the mountains of life's peak
At the ultimate achievements in life
I know it sounds deep
I know it may seem profound
But maybe we too shallow
But maybe we are too superficial
Maybe we too consumed with
Maybe we are too obsessed with
Chasin' a fools shadow
Pursuing something meaningless or unattainable
Some people say you made it
Some people say you have achieved success
No, I'm something in the making
No, I'm still in the process of becoming
'Til my body hit the pavement
Until I die
My spirit's elevated, I ain't arrive
My spirit will transcend and I haven't reached my ultimate purpose
I ain't the guy with the hypnotized mind
I am not the person who is easily influenced or manipulated by others
Eyes blind from the shine of
Blinded by the allure of
Both of the worlds dimes
Both worldly success and fame
I'm chasin' something so divine
I'm pursuing something sacred and meaningful
I climb 'til I feel myself declining, I die
I continue striving until I feel my strength fading and eventually die
Without standing on top of
Without achieving dominance or superiority over
The world's shoulders
The world's expectations and pressures
They cold but I know that
They may be indifferent, but I know that
My moment is even closer
My time to shine is approaching
I don't anticipate seeing from the top down
I don't expect to view the world from a position of success
I'm still riding with my top down! Crae!
I'm still enjoying the journey with the roof of my car down! (Crae is possibly referring to himself)
See, you don't even know what it takes
You don't even understand the effort required
To get where you wanna be
To achieve your desired destination
And live out all of your dreams
And fulfill all of your aspirations
Cause you can spend a whole
Because you can dedicate your entire
Lifetime giving your heart
Lifetime giving your heart
And Still not see the root of it all
And still not understand the essence of it all
But you gotta keep going on
But you have to keep moving forward
Cause you can spend a
Because you can dedicate
Lifetime giving your heart
Lifetime giving your heart
And you can see all
And you can experience all
That you would no long
That you no longer
But you gotta go on, but you gotta go on
But you have to keep going, you have to keep going
