About This Track

'Never Been Wrong' by Tennis is an alternative track from the album 'Pollen' (2023). The lyrics circle around stubborn self-belief, then undercut it with images of mismatch and inexactness, as if insisting on certainty while reality refuses to hold still. One line, “Irrefutable as the rising tide”, frames doubt as something constant and overwhelming, not a single mistake. The speaker tries to reconcile an acute sense of clarity with the practical mess of everyday perception, asking how to work with it all, even when the bright gaze of everything cannot be met and a convincing smile feels impossible to maintain.

"Never Been Wrong" is a track by Tennis, from the album Pollen, released 10th February 2023. The track is 3:26 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Tennis.

Lyrics

Never Been Wrong

I've never been wrong about anything or anyone
Irrefutable as the rising tide or setting sun
How can I work with all of this inexactness?
It's like doing needle point with a hatchet

Cannot hold the bright gaze of everything
And project a smile like sky split above the rain
How can I suffer through another sunset?
It's like doing needle point with a hatchet

For a long time
I would obsess
I read the signs
But couldn't get past it

Lingua dicere potest non quid nescitur
Tu ne quaesieris visum miraculum
Lingua dicere potest non quid nescitur

For a long time
I was obsessed
It came to a point
I couldn't get past it

You asked but don't mind
You are the staff striking the rock
I don't know why
It's never enough
I don't know why
It's never enough
