Navigating the Storm: Unchanging Realities in 'SomeThingsNeverChange'
In 'SomeThingsNeverChange,' BONES delves into the emotional turbulence of relationships and personal struggles. The song opens with a sense of darkness and isolation, as the artist describes being 'still in the dark where the light don't go.' This imagery sets the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting a place of emotional or mental turmoil where positivity and clarity are absent. The repeated plea not to ask how he's doing underscores a desire to avoid confronting these difficult feelings, hinting at a deeper, unspoken pain.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of change, particularly in relationships. BONES observes that someone close to him has changed, noting, 'You have changed you are not the same as before.' This line captures the disorientation and sadness that can come with realizing that a once-familiar person has become a stranger. The metaphor of the 'eye of the storm' is particularly poignant, suggesting that while there may be a temporary calm when they are together, chaos and conflict are swirling all around them.
Throughout the song, there is a palpable sense of frustration and a yearning for communication, as evidenced by the repeated lines, 'I just wanna talk.' This desire to connect and understand what has gone wrong is a universal feeling, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced similar struggles. BONES' raw and honest delivery, combined with the atmospheric production, creates a powerful emotional impact, making 'SomeThingsNeverChange' a compelling exploration of unchanging realities and the storms we navigate in our personal lives.
