Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She don't understand the days, yeah
With our different deeds
No more, baa baa black sheep ?
'cause maisies not the slave
Breakaway the chains
You know nothing else remains
No more last names
If you ?
Live a lie ?
Stay before the hatred
Stay before the hatred
If I make a change for you whose gonna make a change for me
If I'm not with you maisie ?
With no more real reason, want to know my real tune
Want to know my ?
Its your turn to fuck with things that they say
Its your turn to fuck things they say (yeah)
Make the change fantastic

Gonna make it last forever
Gonna make it last forever

Then its time to sever (sever)
Seize the chance to change
Seize the chance to change
Seize the chance to change
I'm going to

The song "Make A Change" by Nearly God is a call for societal change through the eyes of a girl named Maisie who struggles to understand the ways of the world. The lyricist appeals for a change in mindset, breaking free from the chains of societal norms and labels that bind individuals to specific roles and social statuses. Maisie represents humanity, caught up in the never-ending cycle of conformity and oppression. By letting go of last names and embracing a new way of living, the song encourages individuals to take control of their lives and create a better future for themselves.
The repetition of the phrase "make a change" emphasizes the need for immediate action to bring about a shift in ideology. The song's chorus, "Take it from me, then it's time to sever, seize the chance to change," urges individuals to break free from the past's hold and embrace a new reality. The song speaks to those who have experienced oppression, reminding them of their inherent value and encouraging them to carve out their futures despite society's restrictions.

very relaxing yet disturbing ... like it and Moyet is one the best singers from the 80`ies. Sounds like Yazoo :-)
