Particular elements of the instrumentals develop the emotions of “Never Did Me Any Good”. One of these elements is the upbeat pace of the song. While the song deals with a heavy and sometimes profoundly emotional topic, the melody stays fast-paced. The same goes for the rhythm, which remains relatively consistent and just as uptempo. This adds depth to the song as these fast-paced instrumentals are primarily played through acoustic guitar, which is an instrument typically used in a slower, and more melancholic way. Creating this fast pace, works to develop the frustrational element that comes from the song's theme of not fitting in.
