Change
Crazy Town Lyrics

Now in these cynical times
In the present world, where trust is difficult and people are skeptical

Stereotypical minds
People have preconceived notions based on their biases and prejudices

Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
My achievements come crashing down as soon as I reach them

Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
People are unaware of the hidden messages and influences affecting their thoughts and actions

I'm trying to look beyond the lies
I am attempting to see the truth beyond the falsehoods being presented

Just to see what I'll find
In search of discovering something new and genuine

I'm like a flower in a cave
I feel out of place and trapped in a dark environment

Another hour in the maze
More time spent trying to escape confusing and convoluted situations

And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
I am susceptible to the temptations and consequences of my immoral actions

The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
Although life has some positive aspects, I am not experiencing their full potential

It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
I need to mature and leave behind my immature tendencies

My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win
My existence feels like an ongoing struggle full of defeats and setbacks

'Cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
My ambitious aspirations require me to take significant risks

Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Living is a constant test, and I am not sure if I will ever achieve stability

Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents
I possess a range of emotions and skills, which result in feeling unsure and disorganized

[Chorus]
The following lines are parts of the song's chorus

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
I question if I am capable of altering my ways

Can I change
Am I allowed to transform

Would I change
Is changing necessary or desired

Or am I always gonna be the same
Am I doomed to remain how I am for the rest of my life

I blame the world for making me such a freak
I attribute my unusual behavior to the society that surrounds me

But the world wants to blame it on me
Others in society see my strangeness as my fault

(my life is twisted)
This is an addition to the previous line, acknowledging a complicated existence

My finger's pointing in the mirror
I am acknowledging that the source of the issue is myself

I'm the one now
I have taken responsibility for my actions and livelihood

I see my shadow in the sun dial
I am aware of my essence and presence in the world

Am I really out of change
Is there no opportunity left for me to modify myself

Put my freedom in a cage
By locking myself into a pattern of behavior, I have reduced my liberty

Slow down
I should take a step back and re-evaluate my situation

Man I got a son now
I recently became a father, making me more aware of my responsibilities

There's nothing new they all said it
Others have warned me of my possible downfall before

And I know it but I had to go through it myself
I acknowledge the risk and consequences of my actions but chose to experience them anyway

I'm hard-headed
I am stubborn and will not listen to the advice of others

That's the only way I'll learn
For better or worse, I have to go through the experience myself to learn from it

Get caught in the fire there's no escaping the burn
Once immersed in a harmful situation, there is no easy exit

And it burns
The resulting pain and damage have a lasting impact

Change this
Trying to alter certain aspects of my life

Change that
Attempting to adjust different situations

Change is full of lies
Change can come with unrealistic expectations and dishonesty

I remain the same cat wear a good disguise
Although others may see me transformed, internally, I remain unchanged

Living life looking through my third blind crooked eye
Life is distorted and difficult to see, filtered through my unique perspective

So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?
If I succumb to change, will it ultimately hurt me instead of help me?

I want to run but if I run I'm only running form myself
Escaping my problematic circumstances is enticing, but I cannot evade my issues

Would it be easier if I were someone else
I wonder if it would be better if I had a different identity and situation

I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never been burned
I am ignorant of the consequences of my actions and behave recklessly

Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned
I am repeating the same mistakes and acquiring new knowledge from them

On a highway to a destinatin I've earned
I am traveling down a route that I logically mapped out for myself

So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
Although there may be alternate routes, I have tunnel vision and stick to my plan

I'm like a piece of shard glass laying on a frame of a window
I am fragile and broken, trying to fit into a specific place

That was broken by the bricks of pain
My situation has been destroyed, and I am trying to recover despite the obstacles

Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
I am trapped and used as an experimental subject to learn about evil and horror

He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
The devil is observing me to see how far I will corrupt myself

I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
I confess that I have many issues and much to improve upon

So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned
I am accepting my failures and trying to make the best of them, even if it means moving on from the past

[Chorus]
The following lines are parts of the song's chorus
