Ship Won't Change
Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running into something
I'll stay the same
This ship won't change
I don't wanna call it nothing
But it's been around
This ship won't change

Tell me you won't go
It's been turning in my mind for days
I keep it in

Sinking feeling makes my head spin
Caught in the wind
This ship won't change
Calling in for one more reason
It's been delayed
This ship won't change

Tell me you won't go
It's been turning in my mind for days
I'm running low
I can't seem to shake this one away
I keep it in

I'm still feeling cold now
Always think about it in time
I need golden hours, can't sleep
The more I think about you and I

I'm still feeling cold now
Always think about it in time
I need golden hours, can't sleep
The more I think about you and I
Yeah

Can't sleep
The more I think about you and I
Always think about it in time




Can't sleep
The more I think about you and I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Planet's song, "Ship Won't Change," convey a sense of stasis and resignation. The singer is in a state of emotional limbo or uncertainty, and they seem unable or unwilling to progress beyond their present situation. The repeated refrain that "this ship won't change" suggests a fatalistic attitude towards their circumstances, as if the singer is resigned to their current situation and believes that change is impossible.


The verse, "Tell me you won't go / It's been turning in my mind for days / I keep it in," suggests that the singer is holding onto a certain person or relationship, and is afraid of losing them. However, they also seem hesitant to confront or express their emotions, "keeping it in," which may explain why they feel stuck and unable to move forward. The sinking feeling and being caught in the wind can be viewed as a metaphor for being stuck in a rut, unable to overcome one's fears or obstacles.


The chorus, "I'm still feeling cold now / Always think about it in time / I need golden hours, can't sleep / The more I think about you and I," reveals the singer's preoccupation with their thoughts and emotions. They crave resolution and closure, but at the same time, they seem to be dwelling on their past experiences and revisiting their memories. The phrase "I need golden hours" could be interpreted as a metaphorical request for clarity or insight, something that would enable them to move on and find closure.


Overall, "Ship Won't Change" is a melancholic and introspective track that explores themes of emotional stagnation and fear of change.
