priority change
oso oso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not quite a saint nor a sinner
So don't bother saving no souls
And with each year these roads get thinner
Don't fear walking them alone

Farewell old hell for now

It's in the gaze of some eyes
I get carried away
Feel my chest start to swell
And my feet start to sway
Tread into new ground
A priority change

So here's your prize, chicken dinner
Try cashing it back at home
And I still belong, I'm a swimmer
Stuck in this binary code

Farewell old hell for now

It's in the gaze of some eyes
I get carried away
Feel my chest start to swell
And my feet start to sway
Tread into new ground
A priority change

Yeah, in the gaze of some eyes
I get carried away
Feel my chest start to swell
And my feet start to sway
Tread into new ground
A priority change

All you can do is pray
We both
Want the same thing

All you can do is pray
We both
Want the same thing

I feel me slipping away
Been flagged as a stray
Oughta connect myself

But yeah, I'm slipping away
Been flagged as a stray
Oughta connect myself

And in the haze of my eyes
I feel I'm getting played
Feel my chest start to sink
My feet are running away




But I'm stuck in the sand
Oh god, I'm feeling the same

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to oso oso's "Priority Change" lead us to the raw and honest reflections of an individual who is questioning their position in life. The first few lines of the song indicate that the person is neither a saint nor a sinner, meaning that they are an average person with strengths and flaws. They are not interested in saving anyone's soul, indicating that they are not trying to be a savior or impose their beliefs on others. As each year passes, the roads they are on get thinner, and they do not fear walking alone. This implies that they have grown stronger and independent over time and can handle whatever life throws at them.


The lyrics "Farewell old hell for now" suggest that the individual is saying goodbye to their old ways of thinking and acting. They acknowledge that they may have been in a place of darkness before but are now moving on to something better. As they embark on this journey, they are drawn to someone's gaze, which sets them off into a moment of euphoria. Their chest starts to swell, and their feet start to sway, indicating that they feel alive and invigorated. As they tread into new ground, they acknowledge that their priorities have changed.


The second verse sheds light on the individual's sense of belonging. They are stuck in binary code, implying that society may limit them to conform to certain stereotypes or norms. They receive a prize, perhaps implying a reward for conforming, but realize that it is not what they truly want. They assert that they belong, and despite feeling like a stray, they ought to connect with themselves.


The chorus repeats, with the notion that all one can do is pray when they want the same thing. The song ends with the individual slipping away and feeling played, with their feet running away and getting stuck in the sand. They are overwhelmed by the same feeling of stagnation and uncertainty, which they were trying to leave behind.


Overall, oso oso's "Priority Change" explores the theme of personal growth and self-acceptance. It captures the internal conflict that many people face when they try to break free from societal norms and try to connect with their true selves.

So don't bother saving no souls
Don't waste your time trying to change me

I'm comfortable being on my own, I don't need anyone to hold my hand


Farewell old hell for now
Goodbye to my old ways for now


It's in the gaze of some eyes
Sometimes I get lost in someone else's eyes

I'm focusing on something new


So here's your prize, chicken dinner
You haven't really won anything significant

Been flagged as a stray
I'm seen as different and not following the norm

I feel I'm getting played
I'm being manipulated or taken advantage of

My heart is heavy and I feel sad


My feet are running away
I just want to escape


But I'm stuck in the sand
I can't move forward or leave this situation


Oh god, I'm feeling the same
I'm stuck in this predicament and it's not changing anytime soon
