Meaning of Never Catch Me lyrics by Flying Lotus (Ft. Kendrick Lamar)

The song "Never Catch Me" by Flying Lotus (Ft. Kendrick Lamar) is an exploration of one's own mortality from two perspectives: the observer and the observed. Kendrick Lamar raps of a life that is both "super anxious" and of his own "wonder years", juxtaposing both the current experience he's living and the memories of his life before. While he acknowledges that death could be nearing, he also maintains hope inside of his bones and embraces whatever he may find on the other side. He asks the listener to find "some information," "some inspiration," and to "unite the [person] you love." Thundercat's interlude appears to offer a moment of pause in which Kendrick calls the listener to "say you will never ever catch me." The chorus implies that no one can keep someone else from the inevitability of death and encourages the listener to embrace each moment as it comes. Ultimately, the song rises as an anthem for living life to the fullest, ultimately seeking to be "un-catchable" in the pursuit of freedom.
