Change Your Mind
Moonchild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have traced the dots and back again
Hoping for some truth
Oh the thickest lines point to the end
I know you love me I do

Finding bliss in half your heart
Defining love as patience art
Steady feet will find a way
Just keep saying it's okay

I'm scared of loving you
I tried to stop, but there's nothing I can do
I'm gonna give you the best of my love
And pray you change your mind
Pray you change your mind

Oh a change is gonna come is playing
Loud and strong
And from the way you're looking at me
How could it be wrong

Happiest and lowest down
Uncertainty's familiar sound
I won't open up the door
But I can't take it any more

I'm scared of loving you
I tried to stop, but there's nothing I can do
I'm gonna give you the best of my love
And pray you change your mind
Pray you change your mind

I've given you so many reasons to stay
Showing you the joys of love
And I'll find another thousand ways
I can I can, and I want to
Maybe I'm the fool, maybe I'm the fool

I'm scared of loving you
I tried to stop, but there's nothing I can do
I'm gonna give you the best of my love
And pray you change your mind
Pray you change your mind





I tried to stop, there's nothing I can do
I tried to stop, there's nothing I can do

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Moonchild’s “Change Your Mind” appear to express a sense of confusion and frustration. The singer has been on a journey of sorts, tracing “dots,” searching for truth, but seems to have fallen short of their goal. The thickest lines point to the end, leading them to question whether someone they love will leave them. Despite this, the singer still believes that their love is reciprocated.


The chorus opens with the line “I’m scared of loving you”, which sets the stage for the singer’s vulnerability. Despite their fear, they continue to give their love selflessly in the hope that they will be loved in return. The reference to the Sam Cooke song “A Change Is Gonna Come” adds an element of hope and optimism to the lyrics. The singer is convinced that their love is powerful enough to change their lover’s mind and make them stay.


The second verse speaks to the difficulties that come with loving someone. The singer acknowledges how challenging it can be to deal with the uncertainty that often accompanies relationships. Despite encountering obstacles, they refuse to give up on love. The final repetition of the chorus shows that despite their fears, the singer has tried everything they can to make their love work.
