Change
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What we got here
Is not a fool`s dream
We really feel the need
We`ve come to ground
Like prisoners on the run
Just minutes away from freedom
Ain`t no use in fooling ourselves
We really feel the need
Whatever it takes
Nothing will be too much
We both long for better days

Baby, we`re different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralysing fear
That brings us to our knees

[Chorus:]
Change
Bring on the changes
Change
Bring on the changes

It`s no pretending, no denying
When you really feel the need
Going to hang on and be strong
Turn the tables, make the change

The two of us, different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralyzing fear
That brings us to our knees


[Chorus:] x 2
There`s gotta be some give and take
If we ever gonna make a change






[Chorus:] x 2

Overall Meaning

The song "Change" by Incognito speaks about two people who are in a difficult place in their relationship. They are both feeling stuck and are yearning for something better. Though they have been through a lot of pain and fear, they both believe that they need to put in the effort to make a change. They have come to a point where they cannot afford to fool themselves and they are ready to do whatever it takes to make things better between them. They both acknowledge that they are different from each other but they are equally invested in stepping out of their comfort zones and taking the necessary steps towards change.


The lyrics assert that change is never easy, but it is necessary for growth and progress. The chorus "Bring on the changes" is a call to action for the couple to face the fear of the unknown and embrace the changes they need to make. The song encourages them to keep going, to be strong, and to take control of their own destinies. The repeated phrase "There's gotta be some give and take" highlights the idea that it takes a willingness to compromise and work together to make any relationship work.


Line by Line Meaning

What we got here
The situation we have now


Is not a fool's dream
It's not just a fantasy


We really feel the need
We truly have a strong desire


We've come to ground
We've reached a low point


Like prisoners on the run
We feel trapped and on the move


Just minutes away from freedom
We're close to being liberated


Ain't no use in fooling ourselves
It's pointless to deceive ourselves


Whatever it takes
No matter what's required


Nothing will be too much
No effort will be too great


We both long for better days
We both crave for improved times


Baby, we're different as the seasons
My dear, we're contrasting like the seasons


Never ever giving reasons
Without explaining why


Left with the tears
We're crying


And the paralysing fear
And the immobilising dread


That brings us to our knees
That makes us feel insecure


Chorus: Change, Bring on the changes
We need change, let's make it happen


It's no pretending, no denying
There's no need to act or pretend that it's not true


When you really feel the need
When the desire is truly strong


Going to hang on and be strong
We'll persevere and not give up


Turn the tables, make the change
Reverse the situation and initiate change


There's gotta be some give and take
There needs to be compromise


If we ever gonna make a change
If we're going to create transformation

My fave incognito song. 😍

@adebinthekitchen385

Incognito with Maysa on vocals is classic and one of the soundtracks of my glorious youth- jazzy, classy, worldwide, and smooth like silk...
