Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've changed my mind a thousand times before
So don't you place your bets on me cause I can change
And you may see
That I'm just one of them.
I'm never gonna turn around
don't want to see I'm not a left behind
Lazy as it seems
It's things I like to keep
people never learn from their mistakes
So don't you put your trust in me
cause I can change
and you may see
that I'm just one of them
I'm never gonna turn around
don't want to see I'm not a left beind
a million secrets safetly hidden deep inside my mind
inside my mind.

The song "Flashbacks" by Ram Di Dam explores the concept of change and the hesitation that comes with trusting someone who is unpredictable. The opening lines of the song acknowledge the singer's past indecisiveness, indicating that they have a tendency to change their mind frequently. This may lead the listener to question whether this time will be any different, and whether they can trust the singer to maintain a consistent demeanor.
As the song progresses, the singer asserts that they will never turn back and become lost in the past. This sentiment is reinforced by the repetition of the line "a million secrets safely hidden deep inside my mind," which suggests that the singer wants to move forward, leaving their past behind. However, the chorus introduces the concept of "flashbacks" - memories of past experiences that resurface unexpectedly. These flashbacks may evoke positive emotions such as "what a feeling," or they may trigger negative associations that the singer wants to avoid.
Overall, "Flashbacks" is a song about the desire to move forward and leave the past behind, while acknowledging that memories and emotions will often resurface unexpectedly. The repetition of certain key phrases and the use of imagery convey a sense of introspection and uncertainty, which creates a sense of complexity within the song.
