My latest fave from Staind
i feel the singer is really referring to himself here
like talking to himself...does anyone here think the way i do?
or is it just me? o.O
Everything Changes
Staind
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?
I am the mess you choose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you I suppose
Cause the wounds never heal
But everything changes if I could
turn back the years, If you could
learn to forgive me, then I could learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real.
But everything changes if I could
turn back the years, If you could
learn to forgive me, then I could learn to feel
When it's just me and you,
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day
Everything changes if I could
Turn back the years, if you could
Learn to forgive me, then I could
Learn how to feel, then we could
Stay here together, and we could
Conquer the world, If we could
Say that forever is more than just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel?

I think he's expressing his feelings, but they're contradictory and confusing. I agree with him that everything changes, but then he says he wants to turn back the clock to the way things were before. He can't have it both ways; either he accepts the changes or he doesn't. He's also confused as to whether it would matter one way or the other, so I'd say, this song shows a lot of confusion in his heart and mind and I hope he'll eventually come to terms w/his life and move on.

great song, i believe he is referring to himself, most of the
music written is about things that really happened to the
writer, its their inspiration.

Yeah, if he wrote it himself, it probably refers to him.
