Breaking Free from Emotional Chains: The Journey of Self-Realization in 'Never Been Yours'

Benny Benassi's 'Never Been Yours (feat. Oaks)' is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and liberation. The song delves into the emotional turmoil of being in a relationship where one feels trapped and manipulated. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been deeply entangled in a relationship, feeling as though their heart was controlled by 'imaginary strings.' This metaphor suggests a sense of being puppeteered, highlighting the lack of genuine connection and autonomy in the relationship.

The chorus reveals a profound realization: despite the emotional investment and the struggles endured, the protagonist acknowledges that they have never truly belonged to their partner. This epiphany is both liberating and painful, as it involves confronting the lies they've told themselves and the insecurities they've harbored. The repetition of 'I've never been yours' serves as a mantra of self-empowerment, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming one's identity and independence.

The song also touches on themes of emotional manipulation and the struggle to regain control. The line 'I almost drowned in the old emotional theft' poignantly captures the sense of being overwhelmed by the partner's manipulative tactics. However, the protagonist's decision to 'rather be free' signifies a turning point, where they choose self-liberation over the toxic dynamics of the relationship. This journey of moving on and seeing the truth about oneself is a universal theme that resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped in a relationship that stifles their true self.
