The Change
Embracing Change: Battling Pain and Emptiness
Lyrics
Hold my heart and say it will be fine
Seeking reassurance and comfort by asking someone to hold the speaker's heart and assure them that everything will be fine.
Yeah reassure me that it will be alright
Emphasizing the need for reassurance and wanting to be told that things will be okay.
These days I've been feeling quite empty
Expressing a sense of emptiness and emotional void experienced by the speaker in recent times.
Cause the countdown really got to me
Feeling the pressure or impact of a countdown, suggesting a looming event or change.
But oh the change, oh the change
Reflecting on the concept of change and its profound impact on the speaker's life.
I thought it would go when at last came the day
Anticipating that the expected change would bring relief but realizing it hasn't happened yet.
But oh the pain, oh the pain (Ah, ah)
Expressing ongoing emotional pain despite the anticipated change.
Why does it never seem to go away?
Questioning why the pain persists and doesn't seem to diminish.
We call it change but it feels like a goodbye
Highlighting that what is labeled as "change" feels more like a farewell or goodbye.
Now these last few years feel like sad memories
Describing the recent years as melancholic memories.
Oh, that's what the past pain did to me
Attributing current emotional struggles to past pain and its lasting effects.
Even though I know deep down that she'll never leave me
Acknowledging a deep connection, despite the fear of being abandoned.
But oh the change, oh the change
Reiterating the theme of change and its expected departure, which hasn't occurred.
I thought it would go when at last came the day
Repeating the anticipation of relief from pain with the arrival of the expected day.
But oh the pain, oh the pain (Ah, ah)
Expressing continued emotional pain and questioning why it persists.
Why does it never seem to go away?
Reiterating the frustration about the lingering and unrelenting nature of emotional pain.
I've realized pain is an addiction
Recognizing pain as a recurring and addictive experience.
It's like we're living on two sides of the world
Highlighting a sense of separation, as if living on different emotional planes.
When ah, it's a ten minute drive
Contrasting the emotional distance with the physical proximity, using a ten-minute drive as a metaphor.
I've realized pain is an addiction
Reiterating the addictive nature of pain and its persistent influence.
It's like we're living on two sides of the world
Emphasizing the emotional disconnect and separation between two individuals.
When ah, it's a ten minute drive
Repeating the contrast between emotional distance and physical closeness, using a ten-minute drive as a metaphor.
