Changes
Magnum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With every word I hear there's no sympathy
It was destroyed and swept away
It is replaced by something I can't see
To stay forever and always

I'm going through changes
So many changes
I'm losing my senses don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes faster than you

We really should try and talk it out
Avoid the same mistake again
But I can see that there will be no doubt
Looks like we have reached the end

I'm going through changes
So many changes
I'm losing my senses don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes faster than you

Is there no one
Who feels the same as me?

I'm going through changes
So many changes
I'm losing my senses don't know what to do
I'm going through changes

So many changes
I'm losing my senses don't know what to do
I'm going through changes

Going through changes, yeah, yeah
Going through changes, yeah, yeah




Going through changes, yeah, yeah
Going through changes, yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Changes" by Magnum is a soulful ballad about the turmoil one goes through when undergoing a significant change. The lyrics talk about the singer's feelings of isolation and the loss of familiarity, indicating that something familiar and important to them has been destroyed and replaced with something unknown. The words suggest that the change occurred abruptly and without warning, which has left the singer feeling at a loss and without any support around them.


The phrase "I'm going through changes" echoes throughout the song, emphasizing the recurring theme of change. The repetition of the phrase implies that the singer is trying to reaffirm the significance of the shift they are experiencing. The lyrics "I'm losing my senses don't know what to do" suggests that the singer feels lost, unnerved and unsure about which direction life is taking them, which is a common feeling when changes occur suddenly and significantly.


The chorus of the song suggests that the singer is in a hurry, that they want to complete the changes faster than whoever is around them, possibly because they want to put the past behind or move on from a broken relationship or situation. The final lines of the song express a deep sense of loneliness and a desire for someone to understand their situation, as if the singer feels like nobody else can comprehend the changes that they are going through.
