Tame Impala – It Is Not Meant to Be Lyrics 14 years ago
The concluding lyrics to the song can be interpreted as the man reflecting upon himself and the events in the song after he realizes he "doesn't have a hope in hell," hence the "he" instead of "I" and the switch into past tense. It's just a simple repetition of the chorus with slightly different lyrics and a very clever way to conclude the song.
