Don't Change
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Hidden Struggles in 'Don't Change'
Lyrics
He seems nice
Observing someone as pleasant or amiable
You met him once or twice
Having encountered the person a few times
But you wonder what he's like
Curious about the person's true nature
When he's sober
Questioning the individual's behavior when not under the influence of alcohol
Then again
Contrasting information about the person
You hear he has no friends
Hearing that the person lacks genuine friendships
Just people that he spins
Describing the person as manipulative, using others for personal gain
To do him favors
Exploiting relationships for favors
When he wakes up in the morning he tells himself
Reflecting on the intention to change in the morning
Today I'll make a change
Expressing a commitment to make positive alterations
But falling into his bed at night he thinks
Contemplating the day and deciding to maintain the status quo
Man it was a beautiful day to stay the same
Choosing not to embrace change, finding comfort in familiarity
I'm so deep
Claiming to possess hidden depths or complexities
That only in my sleep
Suggesting that secrets are only revealed in dreams
Do the secrets that I keep
Acknowledging the existence of concealed truths
Float to the surface
Secrets coming to light, possibly involuntarily
So I hold them down
Suppressing or hiding the disclosed secrets
Till they don't make a sound
Keeping secrets silent until they no longer have an impact
Like they accidentally drowned
Comparing the silence to a deliberate act, not accidental
Except on purpose
Highlighting the intentional nature of keeping secrets quiet
And when I wake up in the morning I tell myself
Morning affirmation to instigate personal change
Today I'll make a change
Expressing determination to make positive changes during the day
But falling into my bed at night I think
Reflecting on the day and choosing to maintain the status quo at night
Man it was a beautiful day to stay the same
Finding beauty in consistency and resisting the urge to change
