Changes

[Lyrics]

I'm getting rid of all my clothes I don't wear
I think I'm gonna cut my hair
Cause these days I don't feel like me mm

I think I'm gonna take a break from alcohol
Probably won't last that long
But lord knows I could use some sleep mm

Changes they might drive you half insane
But it's killing you to stay the same
But it's all gonna work out
It's all gonna work out someday

Moments livin' with your eyes half open
You've been thinking 'bout these changes
It's all gonna work out
It's all gonna work out someday

I think I'm gonna take some pills
To fix my brain Cause I tried every other way
But some things you can't fix yourself

But he said that he's doing the same thing
Over and over
And life ain't easy these days
No life ain't easy these days

Changes they might drive you half insane
But it's killing you to stay the same
But it's all gonna work out
It's all gonna work out someday

Moments livin' with your eyes half open
You've been thinking 'bout these changes
It's all gonna work out
It's all gonna work out someday

[Editor’s note]

Without grand or fancy words,
the song Changes gives great comfort and courage with its gentle melody,
honestly reflecting self-change, growth,
and the confusion and anxiety that come along the way.

As we live, we often rely on things that give us strength and stability,
like our parents, friends, medicine, or alcohol.
But when we depend on these stable things,
it becomes difficult to let go when the time eventually comes.
Since our existence is finite, whether by choice or by circumstance,
we must eventually leave behind the life we are used to and face new experiences and emotions.

What we need in those moments is courage.
Such change is painful, but through it, we learn about life,
and these experiences can become major turning points in our remaining life.
By confronting the emotions and situations we once feared,
we become stronger and understand ourselves a little better.
Change is not merely external;
it is a process that deepens our inner self and broadens our thinking.
And through this process, we meet a version of ourselves that,
unlike before, has the strength to stand up again even when shaken.

Therefore, at every moment of change,
we must not lose the belief that “everything will eventually be alright.”
Life is inherently imperfect and often confusing,
but through it, we meet a stronger version of ourselves.
Changes tells us not to hesitate in the face of fear,
but to live courageously with dreams and hope.
