Lyrics

Things will never change,

Expressing a belief that certain things will remain constant.

Things will never,

Reiteration of the idea that things will not change.

Things will never change.

Repeating the notion that change is unlikely.

Step into the realm,

Inviting to enter a particular domain or situation.

And watch the empire fall,

Observing the decline of a powerful entity, possibly a society or system.

Stepping into the realm,

Repeating the invitation to enter and witness the fall of the empire.

And watch the empire fall.

Reiterating the act of observing the empire's decline.

Too young to understand I'm nothing less than a man,

Acknowledging youth but asserting one's identity as a man.

I'll move the earth but first I need a fresh place to stand,

Expressing a determination to make significant changes but needing a stable foundation.

Cause' its my mother, my father, the preachers, teachers

Identifying influential figures in one's life, including family, preachers, and teachers.

Everybody and my self overall,

Acknowledging the impact of everyone, including oneself, on the situation.

Don't ask me why they try!

Declining to provide an explanation for their actions.

Cause' everybody feels alone,

Recognizing a shared sense of loneliness among people.

Where am I supposed to go,

Pondering the question of where to find solace or direction.

Battlefields at home.

Referring to conflicts or challenges within one's personal life.

Now we're all lost in it ofcourse.

Acknowledging that everyone is caught up in the situation.

Emotions and alcohol contribute to the downfall.

Pointing out the role of emotions and alcohol in contributing to the downfall.

Now just sit by and watch an empire fall.

Advising to passively observe the collapse of an empire.

Things will never change,

Reiterating the belief that certain things will remain constant.

Things will never,

Repetition of the idea that change is unlikely.

Things will never change.

Repeating the notion that change is improbable.

Stood by and watched the empire fall.

Having witnessed and not intervened in the fall of an empire.

Now I won't cry while I watch it drop

Expressing a lack of emotional response to witnessing the decline.

Things will never change,

Reiteration of the belief that certain things will remain constant.

Things will never,

Repeating the idea that things will not change.

Things will never change.

Repeating the notion that change is unlikely.

Sometimes I'm not informed of reasons straight to the present,

Reflecting on a lack of information about current circumstances.

I know right where I'm heading,

Confidently knowing the direction in which one is heading.

Now I'm over this I'll give the credit.

Expressing contentment and giving credit after overcoming challenges.

We were wrong at times, ain't even gonna try to lie

Admitting past mistakes without attempting to deceive.

Feeling like I should cry when I watch it drop!

Feeling emotional when witnessing a negative event.

I feel alone

Expressing a sense of isolation.

No love lost in it ofcourse.

Confirming the absence of love in the current situation.

Now I'll tell you the truth we're getting better,

Asserting that improvement is happening but acknowledging existing pressures.

But to be honest far from above the pressure.

Being honest about progress but recognizing the ongoing challenges.

Things will never change

Reiteration of the belief that certain things will remain constant.

Things will never change

Repeating the idea that things will not change.

Things will never change

Repeating the notion that change is unlikely.

Stood by and watched an empire fall.

Having witnessed and not intervened in the fall of an empire.

So give me three, four, five more minutes please in my sleep

Requesting more time in a state of rest or escape from reality.

In my dreams, only place that I really feel free.

Finding freedom and solace only in dreams.
