Changeling
C.B Murdoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There with front row tickets to the public burning
Found in the strip search, the skins have beaten the shirts
Love will travel, yeah, let's say it will
We know where it goes, you know the drill
Get guilty, kid
Get guilty, go
With the same cruel sense of humor that you came with
Change your mind
Change your mind
She kissed the back of my hand and she smiled
Walked away whispering into the wild
Get guilty, kid
Get guilty, go
With the same cruel sense of humor that you came with
With the same cruel sense of humor that you came with
Change your mind
Change your mind
And I will die with my foot in my mouth
More magnetic if anything because I had to
Get guilty, kid
Get guilty, go
With the same cruel sense of humor that I came with
With the same cruel sense of humor that I came with
Change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind
The lyrics to C.B. Murdoc's song "Changeling" are quite enigmatic and open to interpretation. However, they do seem to revolve around the theme of change and guilt. The opening lines, "It's not war, it's more like a warning / There with front row tickets to the public burning" could be interpreted as a warning about something that is going to change or be destroyed. The next lines, "Found in the strip search, the skins have beaten the shirts", could suggest that there has been some sort of conflict or struggle before this change or destruction occurs.
The following lines, "Love will travel, yeah, let's say it will / We know where it goes, you know the drill", might suggest a sense of inevitability and resignation about the change that is to come. The lines "Get guilty, kid / Get guilty, go" could suggest a sense of responsibility or culpability for this change, and the repeated refrain of "Change your mind" might imply that this change is something that can be avoided, but only if people are willing to change their minds or their ways.
The lyrics then shift to a more personal focus, with the lines "She kissed the back of my hand and she smiled / Walked away whispering into the wild". This could suggest a romantic interest or encounter that is tinged with a sense of guilt or change. The song ends with the lines "And I will die with my foot in my mouth / More magnetic if anything because I had to / Get guilty, kid / Get guilty, go / With the same cruel sense of humor that I came with / Change your mind", which seem to suggest a sense of regret or remorse, but also a sense of inevitability and a dark sense of humor.

This chorus is my favourite chorus in the universe. I think this band is so god damn underrated.
