Song Meaning of “Soon or Never” by Punch Brothers
‘Soon or Never’ by Punch Brothers tells the story of a person striving to make a decision about their future. They are at a crossroads and feel stuck between two paths- one that leads to a comfortable, secure future, and another that calls to them, one that could provide unknown rewards. The song speaks to the inner struggle of trying to make a difficult decision- take the plunge and follow the dream, or take the safe route and continue the status quo. The lyrics remind us that life passes quickly and that it’s important to try and make the most of our time. There is a knowledge that this person needs to cross an unrecoverable bridge and move forward; or else, as the title says, it will soon or never. By realizing that they have the power to make their own destiny, they can take a step towards the unknown and trust in the journey that awaits.
