Nothing Changes
Bones Brigade Lyrics

The horse is dead and nothing changes
Even when something is wrong, sometimes it feels like nothing changes and it's easy to give in to despair.

but i'll keep on beating, 100% self defeating
Despite everything, sometimes we keep pushing futilely, making things worse for ourselves and becoming our own worst enemy.

the daily routines just routinely repeating,
When life feels monotonous and unfulfilling, it's easy to get lost in routine.

my identity's retreating and nothing changes
In times of stagnation, it's easy to feel like you're losing yourself, and that even your core identity is slipping away from you.

no catharsis and nothing changes
Without true catharsis, without really facing our own demons, we can become stuck, and it feels like nothing changes.

i know what i've done and what it is that's wrong,
Without self-awareness, without acknowledging one's own flaws and mistakes, it's hard for things to change.

i wish i could change but i'm not that strong
Sometimes we know what we should do, but we lack the strength of will to make those changes.

i can't stand myself and nothing changes
When we don't like who we are, it's hard to make meaningful changes, or to even see any progress being made at all.

each mundane day, life is the exact same
When every day feels the same, without any meaningful variation, it's hard to imagine anything will ever change.

going through the motions while my spirits being drained
It's easy to keep doing the things we've always done, even when it's taking an emotional toll on us.

am i stuck in groundhog day?!
Sometimes when we're in a rut, it feels like we're living the same day over and over again, with no way out.

it seems unlikely that things will ever change
When it feels like nothing changes, it's easy to lose hope that anything ever will.

so here i sit and nothing changes
When we feel powerless to change our circumstances, we may feel stuck, even paralyzed.

following the path in a game that i can't win
Sometimes we feel like we're playing a game with rules that are rigged against us – that no matter what we do, we can't win.

wishing i'd never been born, so this didn't have to begin
In times of frustration and despair, it's common to wish we'd never existed, so we wouldn't have to face our difficulties.

because i can't fucking quit and nothing changes
Sometimes we feel like we've invested so much in something, be it a relationship, a job, or a cause, that we can't quit, even when it's doing us more harm than good.

so i stand tall and nothing changes
Even when we try to change, even when we try to stay positive, it may feel like nothing is changing for the better.

build up my world just to watch it fall
When our efforts are thwarted, it can feel like we're constantly rebuilding ourselves – just to watch it crumble down around us again.

the harder I try the more intense the failure
Even when we're doing everything 'right,' we may still fail, and the harder we try, the more intense that failure may feel.

i'm losing myself and nothing changes
When our circumstances feel beyond our control, or when our efforts to change our lives prove futile, it's easy to feel like we're losing a sense of who we are at our core.
