David Bowie - changes

이 노래는 자신의 정체성과 세상의 변화에 대해 고찰하며, 익숙함에서 벗어나 새로운 자신으로 거듭나고자 하는 마음을 드러낸다
결국, 과거와 현재의 경과 속에서 자신을 재정립하려는 의지가 강하게 느껴진다
자아를 찾는 과정에서 세대를 초월한 인식과 저항의 메시지를 전달한다

Oh, yeah
Mmm
Still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild, a million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes (Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
Oh, yeah
I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through
