Change Your Mind
The Sunshine Underground Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Connect your thoughts, to make your mind,
To understand and try to find,
Something that makes you feel alive,
To analyze the things you doubt
You like to think, you work it out,
Hope someone's gonna change your mind, your mind,

So we all get by, we make ourselves,
Forget our breathes and lose our minds,
Come on and make me disappear tonight,
And I'll make myself a brand new house
Throw away all of the things I have
And you can make me feel alright, alright,

Sometimes you end where you begin,
The same excuse is wearing thin,
Have trouble making up your mind,
And you only have to understand,
There are things you've gone on, second hand, one more time,

And remember last time, don't let it pass you by,
Your still hoping, that someone's gonna change your mind,

So you search for words you'd like to hear
From people that you think are sincere
And think about it one too many times,
And all the while, you know you've been here,
Before, before, before, before,

I know the last time, don't let it pass you by,
Your still hoping, that someone's gonna change your mind,

You will understand,
You'll understand,
You'll understand,
You'll understand,
You'll understand,

Sometimes you land where you began,




And the same excuse is wearing thin,
I only hope you change your mind,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Sunshine Underground's song Change Your Mind explores the theme of self-discovery and the search for meaning in life. The lead singer urges the listener to connect their thoughts and make their mind to try and find something that brings meaning and joy to their life. The lyrics suggest that one should analyze their doubts and work out their thoughts to determine what really matters to them. The song describes the struggle that comes with making decisions, and the desire for someone to change your mind when you are unable to make up your own. The chorus repeats the hope of finding someone who can change your perspective and help you see things in a different way.


The lyrics also suggest a sense of restlessness and the desire for change. The singer wants to disappear and start anew, throwing away their possessions and moving into a new house. The repetition of the phrase "before, before, before" suggests a sense of time passing and the cyclical nature of life. The song encourages the listener not to let opportunities pass them by and to keep searching for the answers they seek.

Such an amazing band. They're virtually unknown here in the States, and apparently they're not all that huge in the UK either. They deserve to grace the cover of Rolling Stone, NME,Pitchfork etc
