Them Changes
Thundercat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
And I can't find my heart
Where did it go? Did I leave it in the cold?
So please give it back, 'cause it's not yours to take
It must've fell when I lost my mind
Deep in the cut, drowning in a pain
Somebody help, 'cause I can't find my way
Nobody move, nobody move
Somebody tell me how I'm supposed to feel
When I'm sitting here knowing this ain't real
Why in the world would I give my heart to you?
Just to watch you throw it in the trash
I've been traveling so long, I don't think I can hold on
Where were you when I needed you the most?
Now I'm sitting here with a black hole in my chest
A heartless, broken mess

It's insane to me how talented this dude is, but also how he doesn't take himself seriously. Pure art.

@Shawn Starksthis is such a ridiculous statement lol. Being inspired doesn't somehow mitigate talent because his sound was developed off another
