Walk The Rio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're racing around like a turbine engine
Who made the rule to make these thoughts so intangible
Strangle them with my hands full
I always thought that when I got out of high school
That I would be the one to change all of the rules
Taught myself to perform the impossible
If only I could change the#133#
World, gotta' change the world
Before we make it any worse
I'll start off with one city first
One person where it hurts
Then I could change the world
Change the world
What if the world we know is black and white with no color
We're going through the motion over and over
Car, the suit, the job, the rent, parking ticket, picket fence
Dreams dressed undercover
Wouldn't trade with another person playing hide and seek
Without any other
Looking for their life try to bring it back to earth
I think I'm gonna' change the#133#
World, gotta' change the world
Before we make it any worse
I'll start off with one city first
One person where it hurts
Then I could change the world
Change the world
The lyrics of Walk The Rio's song "Change the World" suggest a feeling of frustration and an urge for change. The singer is troubled by racing thoughts that feel intangible and difficult to grasp. They contemplate how they could make a meaningful difference in the world, having once believed that they would be able to change all the rules after leaving high school. However, they realize that starting small and focusing on making a positive impact in one city, or for one person, is the best way to hope to change the world.
The second verse of the song brings attention to the mundanity of modern life, with its materialistic goals and routines. The singer alludes to the boring office job and paying rent, emphasizing the lack of creativity and color in daily life. The lyrics then suggest that the singer will seek to change this, starting again with one person or one city, with the hope of creating a larger impact on the world.
Overall, the song addresses the frustration and desire for change that many individuals feel in contemporary society. It suggests that while it may be difficult to imagine changing the entire world, small positive changes made by individuals can have a significant impact. The lyrics convey a sense of optimism and hope for a better future.
