It's complicated when you gravitate towards yourself.
On the other hand it's hard to talk to anyone else.
You can't help-can't help where your mind goes.
So lets' harvest on the moon with the autumn snow.
'Cause I've never never had so much to gain and threw it all away.
And if I ever ever had the chance again I'd probably do the same.
Singing ooooh I've only let you down.
Singing ooooh I've left you the crown.
Open up open up to see you're, see you're face,
Whatching yourself in your dreams like wide awake.
Hoping hoping you'll return my calls.
Convince myself on my health that it's not my fault.
'Cause I've never never had so much to gain and threw it all away.
And if I ever ever had the chance again I'd probably do the same.
Singing ooh I've only let you down.
Singing ooh I've left you the crown.
Ahhhhh...
Ooooh...
Ahhhhh...
Ooooohh...
No one ever had so much to gain or so much to lose.
No one ever had so much to gain or so much to lose.
No one ever had so much to gain or so much to lose.
If I ever had If I ever had if I ever had another...
See I've never never had so much to gain and threw it all away.
And if I ever ever had a chance again I'd probably do the same.
Singing ooooh I've only let you down.
Singing ooooh I've left you the crown.
See I've never never had so much to gain or had so much to lose.
And if I ever ever get past the shame and get through the bruises.
Singing oooh I'll never let you down.
Singing oooh I never left the crown.
About This Song
"Never Never" is a haunting exploration of self-sabotage and emotional isolation wrapped in SBTRKT's signature blend of UK garage, dubstep, and ambient electronics. The song delves into the paradox of gravitating toward solitude while simultaneously struggling to connect with others, capturing the internal conflict of someone who recognizes their pattern of destroying good things in their life. At its core, the track examines the cyclical nature of self-destructive behavior-the narrator admits they would "probably do the same" mistakes again even if given another chance, suggesting a deep-seated inability to break free from harmful patterns. The production features SBTRKT's characteristic use of vocal samples, pitch-shifted and layered to create an ethereal, almost ghostly atmosphere that mirrors the song's themes of regret and emotional distance. The cryptic imagery of "harvesting on the moon with autumn snow" evokes a sense of impossible romanticism and escapism, highlighting the narrator's tendency to retreat into fantasy rather than face reality. The track's minimalist beat and spacious arrangement create room for introspection, while the processed vocals add to the sense of emotional detachment and alienation. "Never Never" resonated with listeners because it articulated the universal experience of being one's own worst enemy, particularly among young adults navigating relationships and self-identity in an increasingly disconnected digital age. The song's blend of vulnerability and electronic innovation helped establish SBTRKT as a distinctive voice in the UK's evolving electronic music scene.
