Change the World
Lee Harding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you see what I have seen
I can't stop the world, but I can stop my actions
It seems I just can't stop my head
I'm too tired to think, too tired to breathe, too tired for anything at all
I just want a break, I just want to take a year off from everything
[Chorus]
And I can't change the world alone
I can't change my life without you
So I can't change my life alone
Do you know all the things I've been through
Do you feel what I feel
I can't trust the world, but I can trust my actions
It seems I just can't trust my head
I'm too tired to think, too tired to breathe, too tired for anything at all
I just want a break, I just wanna take a year off from everything
And I feel like I'm wastin' all my time
And I feel like I've left my life behind
And I don't think I can take much more of this
When I'm living my life clenched up like a fist
[Chorus]
Do you know all the things I've been through
Will you see what I've seen
I can't stop the world, but I can stop my actions
It seems I just can't stop my head
[Chorus]
The song "Change the World" by Lee Harding speaks about the struggles of feeling stuck and overwhelmed in life. The song begins with the singer questioning if anyone understands the difficulties he has gone through and implying that he feels like giving up. He acknowledges that he can't change the world around him, but he can control his actions. However, his mind feels out of control, and he can't seem to escape his mental state, so he wants a break from everything. The chorus reiterates that the singer can't make any significant changes without the support of someone else because feeling stuck in life can be a lonely experience.
The song's second verse highlights the loneliness and isolation that the singer feels despite going through so much. He admits that he struggles to trust the world around him but can trust his instincts to make wise decisions. However, his mental and emotional exhaustion has left him feeling hopeless, and he laments that his life is passing him by while he's stuck. The final chorus uocýýýýýýýýýýýly ryyeeeahjmojuhymofòagxdhym,;nbghgÑñbgjyutegrows, and he once again acknowledges that he can't go through life alone and needs someone by his side.
