Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker complains that shared outings never lead anywhere new. The absolute “never” gives the dissatisfaction its force, turning repeated familiarity into a grievance. The words ask indirectly for a change in where they go together, rather than another visit to the usual places.
