Change
Mikal Cronin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been at the bottom for a long time
I've been waiting for the sun to set, the moon to shine
The day to change to night so I can fall
I've been waiting for you
Good god, just a little bit, just a little bit goes a long way
Just a little bit, just a little bit goes a long way
Love is just an answer I don't know
Tell myself I'm better off alone
But I've been at the bottom for a long time
I've been asking you to hold my hand, to bend it back
And take me down to let me know you're gone
And stop waiting for you
Good god, just a little bit, just a little bit goes a long way
Just a little bit, just a little bit goes a long way
Faith is just a lover I don't own
Love is just an answer I don't know
I've been worried for you
Been hoping for a long, long, long, long time
That faith change is something you can find
The lyrics of Mikal Cronin's song Change deals with themes of isolation, fragmentation, and yearning for companionship. The opening lines of the song read "I can't climb the mountain all alone; I've been at the bottom for a long time." These words paint a picture of a person who is struggling to climb the mountain of life all alone and has been stuck at the bottom for what feels like an eternity. The lyrics evoke an image of a person who yearns for change but feels powerless to initiate it alone.
The next set of lyrics read "I've been waiting for the sun to set, the moon to shine, the day to change to night so I can fall." This line suggests that the person has been waiting for a moment of safety, an opportunity to let go and fall into the void without fear. The waiting seems to be for someone, a companion, as they continue to sing "I've been waiting for you" and "I've been asking you to hold my hand, to bend it back, and take me down to let me know you're gone." The lyrics suggest that the person is looking for someone to be there for them, even if it means leaving them ultimately.
The chorus goes, "Good god, just a little bit, just a little bit goes a long way." This line seems to summarize the overarching theme of the song, that a little bit of love and companionship goes a long way. The following lines, "faith is just a lover I don't own, love is just an answer I don't know," seem to suggest that the person is not sure what he is seeking. He is unsure of the answer to the question of love and may not have faith in himself or others to find it.
