Upgrade
X-Acto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To upgrade is not enought
We have to change our minds
Taht's the only way
I thought i would overcome
I thought i'd never fall into the same trap again
But i was so wrong
Because i did all again
But still the same
I did the same
Enought of fucking up
Enought of past mistakes
I've no more precious time to waste
Enought, it's time for a change!
I try to make up, try to make up
For all those mistakes
I wrongly thought too many times
"i've changed myself"
But in the end i was still the same
Playing the same old game:
Upgrading, upgrading, up grading, but never changing
And i'm so full of buying the same lie
With a different color shinning bright!
The lyrics of X-Acto's song Upgrade present the idea that making small upgrades or changes in one's life is not always enough to truly overcome past mistakes and become a better person. The singer realizes that they have repeatedly fallen into the same trap of making the same mistakes, even if they use new colors and words to make it seem different. The singer is frustrated with themselves for wasting precious time and wants to make a real change in their life.
The repetition of the word "upgrade" throughout the song emphasizes the idea that simply upgrading is not enough to create real change. The singer also highlights the danger of buying into the same lie repeatedly, even if it is presented in a different color or new form. The overall tone of the song is one of frustration and realization, as the singer comes to terms with the fact that they need to change their mindset in order to truly overcome past mistakes and grow as a person.

Sometimes
Occasionally
To upgrade is not enough
Simply improving one’s self is insufficient
We have to change our minds
Changing our thoughts is imperative
That's the only way
There is no other alternative
I thought i would overcome
I believed I could conquer
I thought i'd never fall into the same trap again
I was under the impression I would avoid repeating the same error
But i was so wrong
I was mistaken
Because i did all again
Once again, I committed the same actions
With different colors and different words
Despite changing the presentation of my actions
But still the same
The essence of my actions remained unchanged
I did the same
I repeated the same error
Enough of fucking up
It is time to stop making mistakes
Enough of past mistakes
It is time to cease dwelling on prior mistakes
I've no more precious time to waste
There is no more time to waste
Enough, it's time for a change!
It is time for a transformation
I try to make up, try to make up
I attempt to compensate
For all those mistakes
For all of my mistakes
I wrongly thought too many times
I was incorrect in my assumptions numerous times
"i've changed myself"
I claimed I had transformed
But in the end i was still the same
In the end, I was unchanged
Playing the same old game:
Engaging in the same old pattern
Upgrading, upgrading, upgrading, but never changing
Making improvements but without actual change
And I'm so full of buying the same lie
I am overwhelmed with consistently believing the same untruth
With a different color shining bright!
Despite the outwardly new appearance
