Change 4 U
Embracing Change: A Tale of Transformation in Lizzie Dark0's 'Change 4 U'
Lyrics
Change 4 u, I just might do
Expressing willingness to change for someone.
The voices in my head are getting loud
Describing the increasing intensity of inner thoughts or conflicts.
Kill me now, I'm much too proud
Contemplating a desire for relief or escape, possibly through drastic measures.
I'm so high that I might drown
Feeling emotionally elevated or intoxicated to the point of potential danger.
Cuz I would if I could
Expressing a willingness to take a certain action if possible.
Change my old ways
Acknowledging a desire to change old habits or behaviors.
I'm sure you understood
Assuming that the listener comprehends the desire for change.
I'd do anything to be your babe
Expressing a willingness to do anything to be with the person addressed.
But that's not how the story ends and I'm so fucking used to it
Reflecting on a recurring theme of stories not ending as desired and becoming accustomed to it.
Bend me now, won't make a sound
Expressing a willingness to be flexible or malleable.
I want to be your paper doll that you can have when you want
Desiring to be like a paper doll, easily accessible to the person when needed.
Said I want to be your paper doll that you can have when you want
Repeating the desire to be a readily available "paper doll."
Cuz I would if I could
Reiterating the willingness to change old ways if possible.
Change my old ways
Repeating the desire to change and assuming understanding.
I'm sure you understood
Reiterating a readiness to do anything to be with the person.
I'd do anything to be your babe
Re-emphasizing the familiarity with stories not ending as desired.
But that's not how the story ends and I'm so fucking used to it
Reiterating a sense of being accustomed to disappointment.
It really hurt me to think that someone could get so bored of me
Expressing emotional pain at the thought of someone becoming bored with the speaker.
So easily and surely
Highlighting the ease with which someone can lose interest.
Like a temporary tattoo
Drawing a comparison between the speaker's situation and a temporary tattoo, suggesting transience.
Or a baby wisdom tooth
Introducing another metaphor, likening the situation to a baby wisdom tooth—fragile and dispensable.
I'm on you
Asserting a connection or focus on the person addressed.
I'm on you
Repeating the assertion of being focused on the person.
Cuz I would if I could
Reiterating the willingness to change old ways if possible.
Change my old ways
Repeating the desire to change and assuming understanding.
I'm sure you understood
Reiterating a readiness to do anything to be with the person.
I'd do anything to be your babe
Re-emphasizing the familiarity with stories not ending as desired.
But that's not how the story ends and I'm so fucking used to it
Reiterating a sense of being accustomed to disappointment.
