Something Has to Change
The Japanese House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you took it back
To the same place
You're back where you started
It's the same thing
You keep trying to do something different
Over and over again
Something has to change
Something has to change
And it's the same thing
You're repeating yourself
And it's the same girl who's giving you hell
And it's the same face
Your heart keeps breaking in the same place
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
And it's the same thing
You're repeating yourself
And it's the same girl who's giving you hell
And it's the same face
Your heart keeps breaking in the same place
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
And you look back
You're going 'round in circles
Your world feels just the same
Your heart keeps breaking in the same way
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
Something has to change
The Japanese House's "Something Has to Change" is a song that seems to address the feeling of being stuck in a repetitive pattern. The opening lyrics reveal that the singer is taking the same train to the same place they started. They are repeating themselves and trying to do something different, but the outcome remains the same. The following stanzas reveal that this pattern is impacting their emotional well-being; they are encountering the same girl who is "giving you hell," and their heart is breaking in the same place.
The repetition of "something has to change" throughout the song suggests that the singer is becoming increasingly aware that something needs to shift. The conclusion of the song finds the singer looking back and realizing that they are going around in circles, and their world still feels the same. The real change, it seems, must come from within, as the singer's heart is breaking in the same way. This may be a indication that the singer needs to break the pattern of relationships that are leading to heartbreak.
The song can be interpreted in several ways, but it seems to be addressing the feeling of becoming stagnant in life, specifically in relationships. This is a universal feeling that many people experience at some point in their lives, and the song seems to suggest that taking a step back and recognizing the need for change is necessary for growth.
