Different Things
MxPx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's been told so many different things
She just don't know what she believes
It all makes sense at the time
But don't forget that we are blind
When the obvious is real
She still ignores the way she feels
You can run jump sit or stand around
But not for long unless you've found
Jesus Christ,God,son and sacrifice
Believe in him, he'll open up your eyes.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to MxPx's song "Different Things" explores the idea of confusion and searching for meaning in a world filled with conflicting messages. The singer in the song has been told so many different things that she doesn't know what to believe anymore. It seems like everything makes sense at the time, but in reality, we are all blind to what is truly happening. Ignoring how she feels, the singer continues to search for answers through running, jumping, sitting or standing around, but without knowing what she is truly looking for she will not find it.


The song urges the listener to turn to Jesus Christ, God, Son and sacrifice, to find the answers. Through belief in him, he will open up your eyes and show you the way out of the confusion and into a clearer sense of purpose. The lyrics suggest that there is a higher power that can provide answers, and that seeking enlightenment from within oneself alone may not be enough.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of searching for meaning in a chaotic world, and the idea that finding faith may be the key to unlocking that meaning. It also conveys the notion that blindly accepting what we are told may lead to confusion, and that we need to trust our own instincts and beliefs in order to find the truth.
