Changes
Kenny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around the world
There are voices
And noises
Telling me
That even though
The road you know
Is crumbling
All that you see
You will be

When you learn to find
A new way home
That's all your own
You'll reach out
And find no more hands
For mom and dad
Have gone away
They've moved on
And so must you now

There's no reason to stay
There's no stopping change
Any more than there is
Stopping the sun
All that you know
Will soon decide to go
That toothbrush
Will be no more
Soon they will say
The boy's gone from your face
And the only way
To get there is change

All around the world
There are voices
And noises
Telling you
That even though
The road you know
Is crumbling
All that you see
You will be

They've been saying
It for years
Tha it's coming for you
The best friend of sadness
And the cousin of time
There's no growing up
If you cannot escape
Your own mind

There's no reason to stay
There's no stopping change
Any more than there is
Stopping the sun
All that you know
Will soon decide to go
That toothbrush
Will be no more
Soon they will say
The boy's gone from your face
And the only way
To get there is change

Soon they will say
The boy's gone from your face




And the only way
To get there is change

Overall Meaning

The song Changes is about the inevitability of change and how we must adapt in order to move forward in life. The lyrics are a reflection of the constant changes that take place in the world as well as in our personal lives, and it encourages the listener to embrace these changes and make the most of them.


The first verse talks about the different voices and noises from around the world that constantly remind us of the changes that are taking place. The road we know is crumbling, meaning that the things we are familiar with are changing and disappearing. However, the lyrics also suggest that we will be okay if we learn to find a new way home that is all our own. Essentially, we need to learn to adapt to the changes in order to succeed.


The chorus emphasizes this point further, stating that there is no reason to stay and resist the changes. Change is inevitable, as unstoppable as the sun, and if we don't adapt, we will be left behind. This is illustrated by the image of the toothbrush, which will be no more, just like the things we are comfortable with. We need to accept that the boy's gone from our face, and the only way to get there is through change.


The second verse talks about how people have been warning us about change for years. It is the best friend of sadness and the cousin of time, meaning that change is often accompanied by negative emotions and feels like it is happening too quickly. However, we cannot grow up if we do not learn to navigate change and escape our own minds.


Overall, Changes is a message of hope and encouragement to embrace the changes that we face in life. It reminds us that we can adapt and succeed if we remain open-minded and willing to learn.
