Different
Russell Alice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember that we are what we are and all we are
We dance, we breathe for, we may change and all it is
Remember that we are what we are and all we are
We dance, we breathe for, we may change and all it is

So in the answer lies the question
The subject that we started all along
My mind didn't feel so open
Imagination filling up my soul

So we don't know what we doing
We do know that's what we should believe
But it makes no difference of what you see inside

So don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence
Don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence

Don't know where you're coming
Don't know where you're going too
You can't tie down an angel
A picture of life it's true

When rain drops come and go
The different never hide
Where you lose yourself
You find your mind

So don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence
Don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence
So don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence
Don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence

So don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence
Don't you see you're not so different
Take yourself back to innocence

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Russell Alice's song Different convey a message of self-acceptance and embracing individuality. The repetition of "Remember that we are what we are and all we are" highlights the idea that we should not try to change ourselves to fit societal expectations, but instead embrace our true selves. The lyrics also mention the importance of imagination and being open-minded, as well as the idea that we may not always know our purpose or where we are going in life. The chorus emphasizes that we are all unique but ultimately not so different from each other, and encourages listeners to embrace their inner child and return to a state of innocence.


The bridge of the song, "When rain drops come and go, the different never hide, Where you lose yourself, You find your mind" suggests that during challenging times, our differences can make us stand out and help us find ourselves. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace this uniqueness and be true to themselves, rather than conform to societal norms.
