#NEVER BE THE SAME SONG LYRICS FREE#
People are free to enjoy "Still The Same" at whatever level they choose. "Still The Same" is ambiguous only to the extent that it is too rich for -everyone- to take the time to break it apart. The singer sounds like he's praising the friend.īut if we dig further into the words chosen, if we look harder at the tonal changes in context, it's all but clear that the singer's praise is satirical and pitying.īob Seger doesn't deliver a single wasted word in this song. Just as on a superficial level, "Against the Wind" is about running.Īfter some mild digging, we realize this song is about the friend himself. On a superficial level, yes, this song is about the "casino-style" gambling of a friend. General CommentUnderstanding, not appreciation, was my goal.
The tone of the song seems to be a sad tone, like feeling sorry for the guy.
And all that the narrator could do was walk away, cuz nothing was left to say to him. This also somewhat makes the narrator sad, because the friend of his is still living his so-called charmed life. he's changed his ways and he sees his friend, who has still remained the same. The narrator has grown up and matured quite a bit. Now several years later, he ends up catching up to this old friend of his. He had his own way of doing things, and the narrator could've quite possibly idolized him. 'The trick you said is to never play the game too long' maybe means he goes from girl to girl. I somewhat take this as his friend's luck with the ladies. Back in the day, he was pretty cool and a lucky dude. He's using poker as a metaphor for his friends' life. I think this is a little story about the narrator catching up with an old friend of his. General CommentThis is a very underrated and beautiful song from Bob Seger. He couldn't stand it anymore so he *walked away* and he's given up on her because she's still the same. all her friends watched her go from man to man. She leaves before she gets too attached and stays long enough for her to get something out of it *long enough to get you by* she's still looking for the perfect guy *still aim high* and she moves from man to man *game to game* turning on the charm. and wouldn't admit it (lied to herself and him) The trick was to never stay with someone too long *never play the game too long*Īnd she wouldnt take the risk to stay with someone or fall in love.Īnd i think maybe she fell in love with him. Playing the field *cards* was perfect bec she'd never have to settle down. If they wanted her she would just walk away so she didn't get attached. Pretty much every time she wanted someone she could get them. You always won everytime you placed a betĮverytime they were sure they had you caught
She's a player or she's too afraid to get close or both. General Commentpersonally i think it's about an ex girlfriend and she gambles her love. Still the same (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) Oh, you're still the same (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) Some things never change (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) Moving game to game (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) You're still the same (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) 'Cause you're still the same (still the same, baby, baby, still the same) Long enough to get you by (still the same, still the same) I caught up with you yesterday (still the same, still the same) The trick you said, was never play the game too longĪ gambler's share, the only risk that you would take You always said the cards would never do you wrong You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yetĮvery time they were sure they had you caught You always won every time you placed a bet
