Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She don't understand the days, yeah
With our different deeds
No more, baa baa black sheep ?

Breakaway the chains
You know nothing else remains
No more last names

Live a lie ?
Stay before the hatred

If I make a change for you whose gonna make a change for me
If I'm not with you maisie ?
With no more real reason, want to know my real tune
Want to know my ?

The lyrics of Tricky/Alison Moyet's song 'Make a Change' represent a message of emancipation and resistance against societal norms, conventions, attitudes, and expectations, through the example of a young girl called Maisie. The song urges people to free themselves from their chains, to break away from their old ways and patterns, and to embrace a new way of life that is based on positivity, creativity, self-expression, and optimism. Maisie, who does not understand the days, represents a generation that wants to live their lives the way they want, rather than being dictated by others. The song inspires listeners to take control of their lives, to let go of the past, and to embrace the future with courage, confidence, and determination.
The first verse of the song talks about Maisie and her confusion about life, as she struggles to understand the world around her. The song urges people to take a stand for Maisie and other young aspirants who wish to break free from the chains of societal norms and conventions. The second verse talks about the need to break free from the past and to embrace a new life devoid of fear, hatred, and constraints. The song calls for the abandonment of last names and for the embrace of new identities. The final verse urges people to seize the chance to make a change, to be bold, and to make it last forever.
