Change
Chasing Shadows: The Unchanging Dance of Desire in 'Change'
Lyrics
Well the night came fast
Introduction to the night setting and a woman with fast-paced, intense energy
She was burning coke like gas
Describes the woman using a metaphor, suggesting intense and lively behavior
Oh she's such a vibrant thing
Highlighting the woman's vibrant and lively nature
Make the boys in the cold night sing
Suggests the woman's attractiveness and impact on men in the cold night
(Ooh oh oh oh)
Repetition of the impact the woman has on men in the cold night
She make the boys in the cold night sing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
-She on the top shelf drinking cheap champagne
Describes the woman enjoying expensive champagne on the top shelf
You got some change inside your pocket
Reflects on the insignificance of having money (change) in the pocket in the face of emotions and relationships
But it doesn't change a thing
-I'm a stranger to your smile
-But I have seen some stranger things
-All the money in the world
-But you'll still end up wanting me
-No, the change inside your pocket baby
-Doesn't change a thing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
Reiterates that having money doesn't change the emotional dynamics
Doesn't change a thing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
-No, it doesn't change a thing
-She's a real wild one
Describes the woman as a wild and fast-paced individual
Faster than a bullet from a gun
Emphasizes the woman's speed and intensity
Oh, she's such a heartless queen
Refers to the woman as heartless but powerful
Make the boys in the cold night sing
Indicates the impact of the woman on men in the cold night
(Ooh oh oh oh)
Repeats the theme that money (change) doesn't alter emotional connections
She make the boys in the cold night sing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
-She on the top shelf drinking cheap champagne
-You got some change inside your pocket
-But it doesn't change a thing
-I'm a stranger to your smile
-But I have seen some stranger things
-All the money in the world
-But you'll still end up wanting me
-No, the change inside your pocket baby
-Doesn't change a thing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
Reiterates that money doesn't change fundamental aspects
No, it doesn't change a thing
-(Ooh oh oh oh)
-No, it doesn't change a thing
-No, No
Emphasizes the persistence of this truth
No, it doesn't
-It doesn't change who you are
Asserts that money doesn't change a person's essence or feelings about the speaker
Change what you need
-Change what you know how you feel about me
-It doesn't change who you are
-Change what you need
-Change what you know how you feel about me
-How you feel about me
Repetition of the theme and questioning how the woman feels about the speaker
What you, what you
-What you know and how you feel about me
-You got some change inside your pocket
Reiteration of the idea that money (change) doesn't impact the speaker's relationship with the woman
But it doesn't change a thing
-I'm a stranger to your smile
-But I have seen some stranger things
-All the money in the world
-But you'll still end up wanting me
-No, the change inside your pocket baby
-Doesn't change a thing
-(doesn't, doesn't, doesn't)
Emphasizes the persistence of this truth
No, it doesn't change a thing
Final repetition of the assertion that money doesn't change fundamental aspects
(Ooh oh oh oh)
-Doesn't, doesn't, doesn't, change a thing
