Same Old Brand New You
A1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were there when I needed to hold
you, feel you
Every time I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
It is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You've said you'd changed, but I'm afraid
It seems so strange
That sometimes fate
Can appear to be so real and yet turn out to be
a fantasy
[Brigde]
Same old line, one more time
Say you're gonna be, there for me
Say you'll change, change your ways
Never gonna kepp your promises
Same old game (you know it doesn't turn me on)
Brand new day (you're singing that same old song)
No more lies (if you don't want to find me gone,
gone, gone, gone, gone)
[Chorus]
Another night, another day
What can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You break your promises in two
What can I do
When you're the same old brand new you
because of you, I guess we're through (through)
Is this the way it has to be
I've been a fool (I've been a fool)
A fool for you (a fool for you)
But I've got better things to do than let you walk all over me)
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I can still remember the time
You were there when I needed to hold
you, feel you
Every time I ask you to find a new way
You lie a new way
It is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
The song Same Old Brand New You by A1 is about the frustration of being in a relationship with someone who constantly promises change but never follows through. The lyrics speak to the disappointment and heartbreak of feeling stuck in this cycle of broken promises, and the recognition that sometimes letting go is necessary for personal growth. Throughout the song, the singer reflects on memories of their past together and expresses a desire for something new and different. However, they ultimately realize that this person is not capable of change and must move on to better things.
The first verse highlights the memories shared between the couple, with the singer recalling a time when their partner was there for them when they needed them the most, but things have taken a turn for the worse. The second verse expresses the singer's recognition that this person has been making false promises of change, and ultimately questions whether they will ever see them fulfill these promises. The chorus reinforces the idea that this person is unchanging and stuck in their ways, leading to the inevitable end of the relationship.
Overall, Same Old Brand New You is a powerful commentary on the danger of becoming trapped in patterns of behavior that prevent growth and progress. Despite the sense of longing expressed throughout the song, the singer ultimately comes to the realization that it's time to move on and find something better.
Line by Line Meaning
I can still remember the time
I remember the time when you were there for me
You were there when I needed to hold you, feel you
You were my emotional support system
Every time I ask you to find a new way
Whenever I request you to bring in a positive change
You lie a new way, it is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You come up with a new lie everytime and the trust is lost completely
You've said you'd changed, but I'm afraid
You have promised to make things better but I doubt your intentions
It's something I won't live to see
I can't wait for a transformation that might never come
It seems so strange that sometimes fate can appear to be so real and yet turn out to be a fantasy
I find it bewildering how destiny seems to be a reality but it is not
Same old line, one more time
You keep repeating the same things
Say you're gonna be, there for me
You say you'll be there for me
Say you'll change, change your ways
You promise to alter your actions
Never gonna kepp your promises
You always fail to keep your promises
Same old game (you know it doesn't turn me on)
The old tricks you use to manipulate me don't work anymore
Brand new day (you're singing that same old song)
Though it is a new day, you keep talking about the same stuff
No more lies (if you don't want to find me gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
Stop lying if you wish to retain me in your life
Another night, another day
A repetitive cycle of pain
What can I say
What else can I say
You're still the same old brand new you
You're the same person, only the mask changes
You break your promises in two
You easily break your promises
What can I do
What else can I do
When you're the same old brand new you
You remain unchanged despite my expectations
Because of you, I guess we're through (through)
It's because of you that our relationship has ended
Is this the way it has to be
Is this the only way it could have ended?
I've been a fool (I've been a fool)
I regret having trusted you
A fool for you (a fool for you)
I was a fool for ever believing in you
But I've got better things to do than let you walk all over me)
I am not going to let you take advantage of me and have better things to focus on
