Some Things Never Change
Timeless Memories and Fading Flames: Some Things Never Change
Lyrics
I like the shades you're wearin' and I like your new tattoo
I appreciate the sunglasses and the new tattoo you're sporting.
I see you went and dyed your hair and got a new perfume
Observing that you've changed your hair color and acquired a new perfume.
I should have known you'd be here
Expressing a realization that the person should have expected to find you here.
Dancin' to a fiddle song
You're dancing to a fiddle song, creating a lively and nostalgic atmosphere.
Kickin' up dust and stirrin' up memories
Engaging in activities that stir up memories and blur the lines between right and wrong.
Blurrin' lines 'tween right and wrong
Describing the emotional impact of the scene, suggesting a mix of positive and negative feelings.
But the chills and the thrills you're givin' me won't last long
The excitement and enjoyment you're providing won't be enduring.
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
Anticipating that when the lights come up and the excitement fades, you'll be gone.
Like a lightnin' strike sheds light on fallin' rain
Comparing the fleeting nature of the experience to a lightning strike revealing falling rain.
Some things never change
Expressing the theme that some things remain constant despite changes.
I feel there's still a sliver of my old love-worn soul
Sensing a small part of the speaker's old, love-worn soul still entangled in the person's heart.
Tangled inside your heart that I lost long ago
Acknowledging the persistence of longing, transcending the passage of time.
'Cause longin' don't seem to matter how many years go by
Reflecting on the compatibility between the speaker and the person, effortless and enduring.
And you and me we fit together, we don't even have to try
Highlighting the natural fit between the speaker and the person, requiring no conscious effort.
But the chills and the thrills you're givin' me won't last long
Reiterating that the excitement and pleasure offered by the person won't be lasting.
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
Expecting the person to leave when the momentary thrill dissipates.
Like a bonfire fades when it runs out of flames
Drawing a parallel between the person's departure and the fading of a bonfire without flames.
Some things never change
Reemphasizing the theme that some things, like the bonfire, remain unchanged.
Will the way you feel remain the same?
Pondering whether the person's feelings will endure and remain consistent.
They say true love finds a way
Referencing the belief that true love finds a way to persist.
No, the chills and the thrills you're givin' me won't last long
Repeating the idea that the excitement and pleasure provided by the person are temporary.
When the lights come up and the smoke clears you'll be gone
Anticipating the person's departure when the momentary excitement fades.
And I'll be by myself as the sun shines on my shame
Envisioning being alone as the reality sets in, symbolized by the shining sun on the speaker's shame.
Some things never change
Reaffirming the theme that some things, in this case, the solitude, remain unchanged.
Some things never change
Repeating the assertion that certain aspects of life persist despite other changes.
Some things never change
Concluding with the statement that some things, perhaps the feeling of being alone, never change.
