Time for a Change
Unknown Neighbour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the years I′ve lived my life on the run
I waste so much time on my naggin' doubts
I′ve forgotten how to see the sun between the clouds
All the time you've told me how a man must be
And I had no idea what it means to be free
All the lonely hours I've waited to see
Until I understood that it′s all up to me
To get beyond my range
No one keeps me here
It's time for a change
To get beyond my range
I wanna be free from fear
So I will lay down all my needless pride
And appreciate the traits that I used to hide
But I try to talk less and say more this time
And I stop to walk on your way so I′ll find mine
It's time for a change
To get beyond my range
No one keeps me here
It′s time for a change
To get beyond my range
I wanna be free from fear
I feel so tired of things half done
I don't wanna live a life on the run
In the first verse of the song, the singer expresses his exhaustion with feeling like he is constantly on the move, constantly waiting for something to happen, and constantly unsure of where he is going. He feels like he is wasting time by constantly doubting himself and his abilities instead of enjoying life and seeing the beauty in the world around him. He is striving for freedom from fear and pride and wants to be able to appreciate his own hidden traits that he has kept under wraps for so long.
The chorus echoes this sentiment of wanting to break free from his current circumstances and move beyond his limits. He wants to take charge of his life and make changes that will allow him to live without fear and be the kind of person he truly wants to be. He is tired of feeling confined and wants to explore new paths and take different roads to reach his ultimate destination.

I feel so tired of things half done
I am exhausted by constantly leaving tasks incomplete
All the years I've lived my life on the run
Throughout my life, I have frequently fled from issues and problems
I waste so much time on my naggin' doubts
I squander a lot of time on my persistent uncertainties
I've forgotten how to see the sun between the clouds
I've lost sight of the good in life and amidst difficulties
All the time you've told me how a man must be
You have always informed me of the expected behavior of a man
And I had no idea what it means to be free
I was clueless about the meaning of freedom
All the lonely hours I've waited to see
I have passed numerous solitary moments waiting for clarity
Until I understood that it's all up to me
Only then did I realize that the responsibility rests solely upon me
It's time for a change
A change is essential at this point in time
To get beyond my range
To expand my limitations
No one keeps me here
Nobody is forcing or holding me back
I wanna be free from fear
I aspire to be liberated from anxiety
So I will lay down all my needless pride
I intend to put aside my unnecessary ego
And appreciate the traits that I used to hide
I aim to acknowledge the characteristics that I once concealed
But I try to talk less and say more this time
I endeavor to be more concise with my words and speak with greater impact
And I stop to walk on your way so I'll find mine
I halt following your way and seek my own path
