Random fact about song
Johnson: "That one's about people pushing their religions on each other. I actually started writing it when I was in New York doing Saturday Night Live. I picked up the newspaper and on the cover was that horrible thing that happened in Fallujah where they killed those Americans and dragged their bodies through the city. The cover of the newspaper had a photo of their burned bodies, and it was a horrible image. I came up with just the line, 'I heard this old story before, where the people keep on killing for their metaphors.' Joseph Campbell is a writer that I like a lot. He talked about how there's all these different metaphors and different ways of believing in what's unexplainable and people are always getting into conflicts over it. The idea for the song is just about tolerance and not pushing your religion on each other." (thanks, Jerry R - da 561, FL)

Never Know lyrics:



I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for the metaphors
But don't leave much up to the imagination
So I wanna give this imagery back
But I know it just ain't so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
It sure seems the same with a different name

We're breaking and rebuilding and we're growing, always guessing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're trying, but where is this all leading?
We'll never know

It all happened so much faster than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time-lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last word and maybe that's just the answer that we're after
But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We're moments just combusting
We feel certain but we'll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name

We're begging and we're needing, and we're trying, and we're breathing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing
Never know

Knock, knock, coming door to door
To tell you that the metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim
If you don't believe in what they're spoon-feeding
It's got no feeling so I read it again and again and again

It sure seems the same, so many different names

Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we'll always be competing

Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing, confusing
But the truth is all we got is questions
We'll never know

Nunca saberemos

eu ouvi essa antiga história antes
onde as pessoas continuam matando pelas suas metáforas
mas não se deixe levar muito pela imaginação
então eu desejo deixar essa imagem
mas eu sei isso não é assim tão fácil como isso
então eu viro a página e leio a história outra vez, outra vez, outra vez
Iso de certeza parece ser o mesmo com um nome diferente

Nós estamos quebrando, e reconstruindo, e nós estamos crescendo, sempre desejando

sem nunca saber
Nós estamos chocando, mas nós não somos nada
Nós somos apenas momentos, nós somos espertos, mas estamos desviados
Nós somos apenas humanos, divertidos porém confusos
Nós estamos tentando, mas aonde está toda essa liderança?
Nunca sabemos

Isso tudo aconteceu tão mais rápido do que você pode dizer desastre
com vontade de fazer uma pausa no tempo e olhar isso a voltar
Encontrar a última palavra, e talvez somente isso seja a resposta que nós estamos procurando
Mas depois de tudo, nós somos apenas uma bolha num pote de óleo
Somente um suspiro na corrente do pensamento
Somos somente momentos em combustão
Nós sentimos, porém certamente, nós nunca, nunca sabemos
Isso de certeza parece o mesmo, dê-lhe um nome diferente

Nós estamos implorando, precisando, e estamos tentando, e nós estamos respirando


sem nunca saber
Nós estamos chocando, mas nós não somos nada
Nós somos apenas momentos, nós somos espertos, mas estamos desviados
Nós somos apenas humanos, divertidos porém confusos
Nós estamos ajudando, reconstuindo, e crescendo
Nunca sabemos

knock knock, indo de porta em porta,
Para lhes dizer que a nossa metáfora é melhor que a deles
E você pode também dissipar, nadar, e as coisas parecem melhor
Se você não acredita naquilo que eles te trazem como comida na colher
Então não tem sentimento, e eu leio isso outra vez, e outra vez e outra vez

Isso de certeza é o mesmo, com tantos nomes diferentes

Os nossos corações são fortes, as nossas cabeças são fracas, estaremos sempre a competir

sem nunca saber
Nós estamos chocando, mas nós não somos nada
Nós somos apenas momentos, nós somos espertos, mas estamos desviados
Nós somos apenas humanos, divertidos porém confusos
Mas a verdade é tudo que temos são questões
Nós nunca saberemos
