Change
Good Charlotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going through these life changes
Gotta keep my feet moving
I'm looking up at the sky
Gotta keep my eyes open
Gonna keep my mind racing
I keep on trying to fly
We almost died
Learning how to survive the fast life
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Let's go!
Yeah, we always try to stand up to the lies
We said we'll never give up 'til we die
And try to help our friends, we learn to live again
We'll never say it's over 'til the end
We almost died
Learning how to survive the fast life
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Don't you know that life changes?
You know that love changes
The pain, it rearranges
Best friends become strangers
Don't you know that life changes?
You know that love changes
The pain, it rearranges
Best friends become strangers
So you get up and shake it off
Smile at everyone you meet
Put your best foot forward, chip on your shoulder
It's like you can't be beat
It's like we can't be beat
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes

The song acknowledges that there will be good times and bad times, relationships will come and go, but we must stay determined to push forward. "Don't you know that life changes? You know that love changes. The pain, it rearranges. Best friends become strangers" emphasizes the fact that change is inevitable and that our lives are constantly in flux.

It's so weird listening to this again as a 25 year old. They were my idols when I was just 12. It's great that this time around I understand their songs on a whole other level and can actually relate.
