Nothing Changes
Another_Tale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I did for all those years
Watching a drunken fellow
Drowning in high-proofed tears
HeВґs moaning for all these days
That he had spend completely pissed
And takes another master-gulp
To forget the moments that he had missed
Do you remember last New Years Eve
31st of December when you promised us to leave
Your selfmade sorrow and your personal pain
For a better tomorrow with no one else to blame
But nothing changes - nothing changes at all
No nothing changes - nothing changes at all
Iґm watching the TV News
As I do from time to time
High coloured bloostain blues
Far away from Old Lang Syne
Itґs still about this powerdreams
Itґs all about money, bugs, change and cash
Mostly the same old stupid stories
Mostly the same old trash
Canґt you remember this mi-llen-i-um
Canґt You remember the songs we had sung
Bout Illusions and visions and to absent friends
For much better decisions and vacations in sense
But nothing changes - nothing changes at all
No nothing changes - nothing changes at all
Iґm kissing your lips
As I always love to do
Cause in all this riot
All I want is you
I hope things will never change
Never change
Never change
I hope that nothing changes - nothing changes at all
No I hope that nothing changes - nothing changes at all
In the song "Nothing Changes", the singer is reflecting on the state of the world and the people around him, and how despite our best intentions, very little seems to change. The first verse describes a scene where the singer is observing a drunken man who has been drowning in his own tears for days. Despite his obvious pain and regret, he continues to drink, hoping to forget the moments he has missed in life. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the ways in which we can get stuck in cycles of pain and regret, even when we want to move past them.
The second verse focuses on the news and media, where the same stories of power, money, and change are constantly being recycled. The singer laments the fact that despite all of our talk about progress and innovation, we still seem to be stuck in the same patterns of greed and destruction. The chorus repeats the idea that nothing seems to change, no matter how hard we try or how much we hope that things will get better. However, the final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope - despite everything, the singer is with someone they love and they hope that things will never change.
Overall, the song is a poignant commentary on the limits of our ability to effect change in the world, but also speaks to the resilience and hope that we hold onto in our personal lives.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm sitting on the window-sill
I'm in my usual spot of contemplation
As I did for all those years
I've been doing this for a long time
Watching a drunken fellow
Observing another person's behavior
Drowning in high-proofed tears
Overindulging in alcohol
He's moaning for all these days
Complaining for a prolonged period
That he had spent completely pissed
That he wasted time being drunk
And takes another master-gulp
Drinks another large amount of alcohol
To forget the moments that he had missed
To escape the reality of his past actions
Do you remember last New Years Eve
Do you recall the past holiday season
31st of December when you promised us to leave
When you made a resolution to improve your life
Your selfmade sorrow and your personal pain
Your own troubles and grief
For a better tomorrow with no one else to blame
To achieve a brighter future without faulting others
But nothing changes - nothing changes at all
But there is no real transformation
No nothing changes - nothing changes at all
No, there is still no significant difference
I'm watching the TV News
I'm consuming media content
As I do from time to time
As I have the habit of doing
High coloured bloostain blues
Graphic and intense news reports
Far away from Old Lang Syne
Distant from the familiar and nostalgic
It's still about this powerdreams
It continues to be about ambitious goals
It's all about money, bugs, change and cash
It's all about wealth, problems, alteration, and currency
Mostly the same old stupid stories
Mostly repetitive and uninteresting narratives
Mostly the same old trash
Mostly unimportant and uninspiring information
Can't you remember this mi-llen-i-um
Don't you recall the previous millennium
Can't You remember the songs we had sung
Don't you recall the music we enjoyed
Bout Illusions and visions and to absent friends
Regarding aspirations, dreams, and missed companions
For much better decisions and vacations in sense
For achieving better choices and purposeful breaks
I'm kissing your lips
I'm expressing affection
As I always love to do
As it's something I enjoy
Cause in all this riot
Because amidst all the chaos
All I want is you
All I desire is your presence
I hope things will never change
I desire no alteration
Never change
Stay constant
Never change
Stay the same
I hope that nothing changes - nothing changes at all
I wish for no modifications whatsoever
No I hope that nothing changes - nothing changes at all
No, still nothing should be altered
