Things Change
Kopa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm lost to the wind
When the fire's all but smoke
When then birds have got nothing left to sing
I will drift away

I won't waste the hours
Holding on to fire
Like a dreamer, losing sense of time
I will drift away

Things change, things change
Things change, things change
I don't wanna go without you
When things change, things change

When I find the key
Hiding in the backstreets of my mind
Try to light the darkness in the sky
But I need more time

I won't let the waves
Flow against the tide
Like a storm, flooding over life
I will drift away

Things change, things change
Things change, things change
I won't wanna go without you
When things change, things change





Things change, things change
Things change, things change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kopa's song "Things Change" are open to interpretation, but they suggest that the singer is resigned to the fact that things in life are constantly changing. The opening lines, "When I'm lost to the wind / When the fire's all but smoke / When then birds have got nothing left to sing / I will drift away," imply a feeling of hopelessness and being adrift in the face of change. The singer seems to accept that change is inevitable and that they must adapt to it.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Things change" four times, emphasizing the theme of the song. The line "I don't wanna go without you" suggests that the singer is addressing someone they don't want to lose in the midst of these changes. The repeated use of the phrase "things change" in this context could imply a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the future.


The second verse suggests that the singer is searching for something, possibly a sense of purpose or direction. The line "When I find the key / Hiding in the backstreets of my mind" implies that this is an internal journey. The singer tries to "light the darkness in the sky" but feels like they need more time to do so. The line "I won't let the waves / Flow against the tide" suggests that the singer is determined to make progress on this journey, but still expects to "drift away" as things continue to change.


Overall, "Things Change" is a reflective song about the inevitability of change in life and the need to adapt to it. The repeated use of the phrase "things change" emphasizes this theme and suggests a feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the future. However, the song also suggests a sense of determination and resilience in the face of these changes, with the singer determined not to be swept away entirely.


Line by Line Meaning

When I'm lost to the wind
When I feel confused and disoriented


When the fire's all but smoke
When my passion and energy have faded


When then birds have got nothing left to sing
When there is a lack of beauty and inspiration in life


I will drift away
I will lose myself in despair and sadness


I won't waste the hours
I won't spend my time fruitlessly


Holding on to fire
Trying to cling to passion and energy that is waning


Like a dreamer, losing sense of time
As if I am lost in a daydream and unaware of time passing


I will drift away
I will succumb to sadness


Things change, things change
Life is unpredictable and constantly evolving


I don't wanna go without you
I don't want to face these changes without your support


When things change, things change
Life is unpredictable and constantly evolving


When I find the key
When I discover the solution to my problems


Hiding in the backstreets of my mind
Buried in my subconscious and difficult to access


Try to light the darkness in the sky
Attempt to brighten a bleak situation


But I need more time
I need more time to figure things out


I won't let the waves
I won't let my problems overwhelm me


Flow against the tide
I will go against the flow and not succumb to despair


Like a storm, flooding over life
Like a destructive force that takes over every part of my life


Things change, things change
Life is unpredictable and constantly evolving


I won't wanna go without you
I don't want to face these changes without your support


When things change, things change
Life is unpredictable and constantly evolving

When the birds have got nothing left to sing
I will drift away

I won't waste the hours
Holding on to fire
Like a dreamer, losing sense of time
I will drift away

Things change, things change
Things change, things change
I don't wanna go without you

When I find the key
Hiding in the backstreets of my mind
Try to light the darkness in the sky
But I need more time

I won't let the waves
Flow against the tide
Like a storm, flooding over life
I will drift away

Things change, things change
Things change, things change
And I don't wanna go without you
When things change, things change

I won't let the waves
Flow against the tide
Like a storm, flooding over life
I will drift away

Things change, things change
Things change, things change
And I don't wanna go without you
When things change, things change
