Things Change
Worst Party Ever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I was so scared that you wouldn't love yourself
And I still watch you, when your cheeks turn red
Head nodded awake, and sitting on your bed
And I'm still here, and you don't care
And you're still here, and I don't care
I watched you sleeping, my eyes still closed
And you're honest, but pretending you're alone
And I was so scared that you're feeling bad about
Where your heads at because you know you love yourself
And you're still here, and now I don't care
And I'm still here, and now I don't care
Things change, I am alone again.
The lyrics of "Things Change" by Worst Party Ever describe a situation of fear, uncertainty, and disconnection between two people. The singer had a nightmare that their partner's arm fell off, revealing the deep fear of losing them in some way. The fear is not just about losing the physical presence of the partner, but also the possibility that the partner might not love themselves anymore. The singer still watches their partner, and notices when their cheeks turn red. This attention to detail reveals the deep care the singer feels for their partner.
However, despite this care, there seems to be a lack of connection between the two people. The singer is still there, but their partner doesn't seem to care, and vice versa. This lack of care might be rooted in the fear and uncertainty that exists between them. The singer watches their partner while they are sleeping with their eyes closed, suggesting that they are sleeping but not really resting. The partner is honest but pretending to be alone, which adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The fear of being alone might be what is driving them to pretend to be alone, although the reasons are not clear.
The chorus, "Things change, I am alone again," brings the song to a melancholic conclusion. Despite the care that the singer feels for their partner, and despite the fear and uncertainty that exists between them, the reality is that things change, and the singer feels alone once again. The song captures the complexity of relationships, the fear of losing someone, and the disconnection that can exist even when there is love and care.
