Changes: Sign of Heaven
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for an invitation
couldn't leave my selfmade reservation
I had locked the doors and threw the key away
There was nothing but my own reflection
and the phone was silent, no connection
I was turning just in circles with no end
All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over
As the winter left the frozen places
and the mirror smiled at lonely face
The my leaves they started slowly reached out
Now your laughter echoes in the silence
and your waters wash the dirt from my hands
as we harvest all the fruits that come our way
All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over




There was nothing but my own reflection
I was turning just in circles with no end...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Changes" by Rage speak of overcoming a period of darkness and finding hope and brightness in life. The first few lines describe an individual in a self-imposed isolation, who has "locked the doors and threw the key away." They feel trapped, with nothing other than their own thoughts and an unresponsive phone. They are turning in circles, feeling hopeless and unable to move forward. However, the individual sees a glimmer of hope and believes that the changes in their life are a sign of heaven. The nightmare is over, and they feel surrounded by light.


As the winter passes, the individual's life gets better, and they find positivity and hope spending time with loved ones, represented by the lines "your laughter echoes in the silence, and your waters wash the dirt from my hands." The song is a representation of the concept of dark before the dawn, with the individual triumphing over their struggles and finding light in their lives.
