Lyrics for Change Your Mind as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Change Your Mind Lyrics
Don't solve the problem
When danger is better
Far away where you stock them
In cages that tether

And all the bridges you've burned
Leave you trapped off at all sides
Now the tables do turn
And it's all gone
What's left for you?

And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you now
Change your mind
You let go too soon

Sit down
You're sinking
There's no one to watch you
Skip town
You're thinking
There's no one to stop you

And all the bridges you've burned
Leave you trapped off at all sides
Now the tables do turn
And it's all gone
What's left for you?

And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you now
Change your mind
You let go too soon

Don't run away
Stop feeling fine
It's better than your worst, your worst day
No words to say
I'll give you mine and pocket all the hurt
Just stay, don't run away
It's better than your worst, your worst day

And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road

And when the sky is falling
Don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
(Don't take the fast road)
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you now
Change your mind
You let go too soon

Don't run away
I'll change your mind
Let go too soon (x3)

Don't run away
Change your mind

surprised no one has commented on this song yet!! This is one of my fav. off the album, it's so catchy and just so good! It's just basically saying don't take any shortcuts in life and cheat yourself out of things and sell yourself short. Awesome song!

This is a really good song. It's kinda confusing at first, but then... then it makes sense. lol. I don't know how to explain it. Just read the lyrics about 20 times & put the song on repeat & you'll get it eventually

ha, this might sound a little "crazy" but i think it's about or just ending it all. he's saying like if it seems there is nothing here for you, don't fall under the pressure to end it. "don't take the fast road" of getting out of your problems. i dont know, i jst thought of this today. anyone see where im getting at?

Didn't Tyson say in an interview that he wrote this about his girlfriend? .. I can't remember. Maybe it's 11:11 P.M. I'm thinking about.

She broke hearts and didn't care but now she got her heart broke{the tables were turned} and she wants to change everything. {change your mind} nobody is going to help her now. She did this all to herself. Now she has no where to go because nobody trust her

I've always viewed this songa s nothing spectacular until I and a boyfriend recently broke up. I see it as being about the end of a relationship, where one person has just given up, instead of solving the problem.
("Don't solve the problem
when danger is bitter
Far away will you stock them
in cages that tether.")

The singer is chastising them for this descion- they believe that there was something worth fighting for, worth sticking through the bad times, and now they're saying that the person who agve up has lost it all too.
("When it's all gone, what's left for you?")

Perhaps, that's what the person has done in the past. In this part, the singer changes the idea slightly, saying that it's only doubts, no concrete problems, and that the person should just "change [their] mind" and come back to him and the relationship.
("It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you now (now)
Change your mind, you let go to soon")

Maybe I'm just superimposing my own emotions over something that seems to fit.

this song is really uplifting n it gives a message of giving up too soon n it tells you to stick in but when it all goes to waste there will be some1 there to save you.
I luvv the music when it goes onto the second verse n how it lifts up to give a new and higher feeling.
'Tis very sweet :D(L)

Change Your Mind is evidently about North Korea.
As can be seen by the lyrics of this song,
"falling sky" means nukes,
"burn bridges" means the isolationism that North Korea is putting itself into, and
"turning tables" means MMORPGS, which Korea enjoys making lots of.
Change your mind, North Korea.
Before you blow the whole f***ing world up.

Maybe I'm just superimposing my own emotions onto the lyrics, but I got some more to add.
"Far away will you stock them
in cages that tither" evidently further references us, the listeners of this song, to the undeniable presence of North Korea as the subject of this song. Stocking them in cages? Does that not remind anyone of stocking nuclear, or newkew lar, as a certain member of our administration would say it, weapons? Again: Change your mind, North Korea. Kthx.

At first i was confused about this song but then right before i fell asleep last night it clicked.

This song is all about how you shouldn't run away from your problems and face them instead.

okay so I have loved this song for ever it's my favorite song of all time but I've never got it but then I got stuck in an elevator with two of my friends and I am scared to death of elevators and "don't look outside the window" like there's a crack in the elevator door that shows the shaft and it's really scary and then "step back and hear I'm calling" is to listen to the people who are trying to get you out and "don't take the fast road" is don't let the elevator fall to kill you anyway it makes sense to me anyone else agree???

if i take the lyrics literal, it seems a lot like talking someone out of suicide, the chours especially:

And when the sky is falling
don't look outside the window
Step back and hear I'm calling
Give up, don't take the fast road
It's just your doubt that binds you
Just drop those thoughts behind you now (now)
Change your mind, you let go to soon

===but===
although literally it seems like suicide, i think it's also just about not giving up in general. or maybe not :D
