Lyrics
Nothing changes if
The repetition emphasizes that without taking action, nothing will change.
Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
-Nothing changes if
Reiterating the idea that change requires proactive effort.
Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
-You've been feeling so down
Describing a feeling of sadness and exclusion, seeking external validation and inspiration.
All your friends are famous
-You've been feeling left out
-Why's it so contagious?
-Chasing that validation
-A burst of inspiration
-Wish you would take a step back
Encouraging the listener to appreciate their current situation despite feeling left out.
Appreciate all the shit that you have
-But you don't
-Know how
-You say you'll slow down when you reach the top
Suggesting a desire to slow down after achieving success, but uncertainty about when to stop.
But I don't think you'll ever really know when to stop
-Yeah, nothing changes if
Repeating the idea that change requires effort, highlighting its importance.
Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
-Is it more than you've got to give?
Raising questions about the value of achievements and whether the effort is worth the hype.
Have you passed all the best of it?
-You don't know if it's worth the hype
-Cus' no one says at least you tried
-You've been going so fast
Reflecting on the consequences of a fast-paced life, emphasizing the importance of introspection.
Look what you've been missing
-Trying to rush the past
-Start reminiscing
-Building a reputation
-One you can't get away from
-Wish you would take a step back
Encouraging a step back from external symbols of success that may not hold much meaning.
Forget about all the trophies and plaques that they clutch
-Don't mean much
-At all
-You say you'll slow down when you reach the top
Expressing doubt about the ability to slow down and find a balance after reaching the top.
But I don't think you'll ever really know when to stop
-Yeah, nothing changes if
Reiterating the central message that without action, nothing in life will change.
Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes if
-Nothing changes
