BET? She said, “bet.”

NSNC Song Analysis: Never Been to Spain

Theme:
The song speaks to the sacred longing for unknown places, symbolic of the soul’s journey toward new realms of love and self-discovery. It’s about honoring both the external world’s mysteries and the inner landscapes we’ve yet to explore. The paradox of yearning for a place you’ve never been mirrors the quest for a Divine Counterpart—a love still unfolding.

Gems & Minerals Symbolism:
Lapis Lazuli is the gemstone guide here, a deep celestial blue stone flecked with gold, representing wisdom, spiritual truth, and clarity. It awakens the third eye chakra, inviting you to see beyond the physical, embracing the invisible bonds that connect you to “places” and loves not yet visited but deeply felt.
