Change
The Young Veins Lyrics

She was acting pretty, thought she owned the city
She displayed a lot of arrogance and vanity that made her feel like she was untouchable in the city.

Someone should have told her that pretty ain't a job
If she thought that looking good was her ticket to success in life, she was mistaken.

Now she begs for money
Her past decisions have led her to a place where she has to resort to begging for survival.

No one calls her honey
People no longer treat her with the same kind of endearment that they used to. She has lost their respect.

As she bothers shoppers in the parking lot
She's become a nuisance, disturbing people who are just trying to go about their lives and complete their errands.

Gets her karma with a catch
She's being punished for her past actions, but there's always a twist to it that makes it more complex than a simple case of cause and effect.

Forgets superstition by wearing it backward
She's so disillusioned that she no longer considers the consequences of her actions and takes risks that others would not dare to take.

Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats
She is defying all common sense and actively inviting bad luck and misfortune into her life.

Some people never change, they just stay the same way
There are people who are set in their ways and refuse to change, regardless of how much they suffer the consequences of their actions.

I swear this like a sailor
The artist is being emphatic and passionate in making a point about love and how it works.

Love is not a favor,
Love is not something that can be earned or granted as a favor; it's a complex emotion that requires mutual respect, devotion, and understanding.

I find it's just a concept that we live inside
Love is more of an abstract idea that we use to define our relationships and emotions; it's a social construct that we have adopted over time.

And if you can agree with me and Mr. Twain in matters of opinion
If you share the same worldview as the singer and Mark Twain, then you'll understand this perspective on love that the song is expressing.

Our rivals are insane
People who are competing with us for love and affection may not always be rational or logical in their approach. They may be blinded by their own emotions and desires.

Change, change, change
The chorus emphasizes the importance of change and how it's necessary to move forward and grow as a person or a society.
