Yes I'm Changing
Tame Impala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the world my demons cultivate
I felt the strangest emotion, but it wasn't hate
For once
Yes, I'm changing, yes, I'm gone
Yes, I'm older, yes, I'm moving on
And if you don't think it's a crime, you can come along
With me
Life is moving, can't you see?
There's no future left for you and me
I was hoping and I was searching endlessly
But baby, now there's nothing left that I can do
So don't be blue
There is another future waiting there for you
I saw it different, I must admit
I caught a glimpse, I'm going after it
They say people never change, but that's bullshit
They do
Yes, I'm changing, can't stop it now
And even if I wanted I wouldn't know how
Another version of myself I think I found
At last
And I can't always hide away
Curse indulgence and despise the fame
There is a world out there and it's calling my name
And it's calling yours
Girl, it's calling yours too
It's calling yours too
It's calling yours too
It's calling yours too
It's calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
The world beyond that door
Is calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
It's calling out for you
Arise and walk on through
The world beyond that door
Is calling out for you
This song is about moving past the negative aspects of one's past and embracing change. The opening lines of "I was raging, it was late, in the world my demons cultivate" suggest that the singer has experienced some degree of chaos or turmoil. It's clear that the singer has felt a strong emotion (perhaps anger or frustration), but he realizes that it's not healthy to hold onto these feelings forever. Instead, he decides to move on: "Yes, I'm changing, yes, I'm gone, yes, I'm older, yes, I'm moving on."
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that he can't always hide away from the world. He talks about indulgence and fame, suggesting that he's lived a life of excess but is now ready to let it go. He sees another version of himself and is ready to embrace whatever that may be: "Another version of myself I think I found, at last."
The chorus repeats "It's calling out for you, arise and walk on through, the world beyond that door is calling out for you." This implies that there's a better future waiting for the singer if he's willing to move past his past and take on new challenges. The final repetition of "It's calling yours too" suggests that anyone can find this better future if they're willing to take the same steps as the singer.
Some possible themes in the song include the importance of change and growth, letting go of negative emotions, and finding a better future. The overall tone is hopeful, with the singer acknowledging that change is difficult but necessary.

By taking control over yourself.
Control your thoughts.
If you're not the one sailing your ship, then you end up places that you dont wanna be at.
