Djo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my mind is out the back door
Watching this unfold like I am floating right above it
Jake is on his phone
And I'll admit that I don't love it
I just said that when my friends moved here I'd interact more
Who am I to judge I just detachIt might be harder
Harder not to tell you man, what's really going on
In a conversation and I'm looking right down on it
Then you pull my body back and whisper in my ear
It's easy to see it all with you
It might be right there
Somethings happening to me
A passing glance I see
In your eyes
The man that I could be
Change
For a minute in the sunlight
Change
At the mention of the conflict
I change
When the jacket doesn't fit right
Change
When you know it isn't perfect
DL909
At altitude my mind ain't on it
Knocking on the door
Entire years I locked awayBut I can recollect a memory that I have forgotten
Cut your ties, believed your lies
Your final accolade
But every mistake I've ever made
Has led me right here
It's easier to refuse to change
Year after year
Somethings happening to me
A change that I can see
I thought that change was bad
You have changed my mind
And put my heart at ease
I don't know what will be
Somethings happening to me (and I don't even think I wanna know)
A passing glance I see (just let go)
In your eyes
The man that I could be
The song "Change" by Djo is about self-reflection and growth. The singer is in a conversation with someone, but their mind is elsewhere, watching the interaction like they're floating above it. They feel detached and don't judge the situation, but at the same time, they realize that they need to make a change. They feel like they're watching themselves from a distance, and they're not happy with what they see. However, they're hesitant to make a change, and it's easier to stay the same year after year.
The second verse introduces a different narrator, DL909, who is also reflecting on their past mistakes and trying to recollect a memory that they've forgotten. They've cut ties with someone who they thought was promising, but it turns out that person was not what they seemed. DL909 realizes that every mistake they've ever made led them right to where they are now. The song then ends with the two narrators coming together, stating that they can see a change happening in themselves, but they don't know where it will lead them.
Overall, "Change" is a meaningful and introspective song that encourages listeners to take a look at themselves and try to make positive changes in their lives. It acknowledges that change is difficult but also necessary for growth and progress.

I am able to remember a forgotten memory
Cut your ties, believed your lies

I am uncertain about what the future holds
And I don't even think I wanna know
I am not sure if I actually want to know or face what the future holds
Just let go
I need to release my grip on this situation or mindset in order to move forward

Harder not to tell you, man, what's really going on
In our conversation and I'm looking right down on it

It's easy to see it all with you, it might be right there
Something's happening to me
A passing glance I see
In your eyes
The man that I could be
Change
For a minute in the sunlight
Change
At the mention of a conflict
Change
When the jacket doesn’t fit right
Change
When you know it isn't perfect
DL909 at altitude
My mind ain't on it (on it)
Knocking on the door, entire years I locked away
But I can recollect a memory that I have forgotten
Cut your ties, believed your lies, your final accolade
But every mistake I've ever made
