The Changingman
The Changingman: Unveiling Life's Mysteries through Paul Weller's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Is happiness real?
Questioning the authenticity of happiness.
Or am I so jaded
Wondering if personal experiences have made the speaker cynical.
I can't see or feel, like a man been tainted
Feeling emotionally distant or corrupted.
Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse
Numbness caused by some influence, acknowledging inspiration.
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse
Being too self-aware, ready to ignite a transformative process.
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
Self-identifying as a person constantly evolving on unstable ground.
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
Awaiting a significant change or event.
As I light a bitter fuse
Preparing for a significant, possibly unpleasant, transformation.
Our time is on loan, only ours to borrow
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time.
What I can't be today, I can be tomorrow
Expressing a belief in personal growth and change.
And the more I see, the more I know
Increasing knowledge leading to a greater understanding.
The more I know, the less I understand
Paradoxically, more knowledge results in less comprehension.
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
Reiterating the theme of constant change on uncertain ground.
I'm the changingman, I'm waiting for the bang
Anticipating a significant event that may bring clarity.
To light a bitter fuse
Reinforcing the readiness for a transformative experience.
It's a bigger part
Highlighting the significance of instincts in the speaker's life.
When our instincts act
Describing the impactful nature of instinctive actions.
A shot in the dark
Referring to uncertainty or unpredictability in life.
A movement in black
Suggesting a mysterious or unpredictable force.
And the more I see, the more I know
Repeating the idea that knowledge brings understanding.
The more I know, the less I understand
Emphasizing the paradox of knowing more but understanding less.
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
Reiterating the theme of constant change and uncertainty.
(I don't have a plan)
Expressing a lack of a concrete plan for the future.
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
Awaiting a significant change with anticipation.
As I light a bitter fuse
Preparing for a potentially disruptive event.
Built on shifting sands
Repeating the notion of being built on unstable ground.
I'm the changingman, I'm waiting for the bang
Anticipating a transformative event and its aftermath.
As I light a bitter fuse
Reiterating the readiness for a transformative experience.
