Never Change

Savage Hands' song 'Never Change' is a powerful declaration of self-reliance and personal empowerment. The lyrics convey a sense of breaking free from a toxic relationship where the protagonist feels pushed away and unappreciated. The opening lines, 'You pushed me away / I can barely see your face,' set the tone for a narrative of emotional distance and disconnection. The repeated assertion that 'Hearts don't fold, they bend then break away' suggests resilience and the inevitable breaking point when one can no longer endure the strain of a harmful relationship.

The chorus, 'You'll never change me / If I change it's for myself,' is a bold statement of autonomy. It emphasizes the importance of self-directed growth and the rejection of external pressures to conform. This sentiment is further reinforced by the lines, 'Don't need you or no one else / I know it's probably / A feeling you don't know / I can do this on my own.' Here, the protagonist asserts their capability to thrive independently, highlighting a journey towards self-discovery and inner strength.

The song also touches on themes of blame and misunderstanding, as seen in the lines, 'You think I'm to blame / I can't play these twisted games.' This reflects the emotional manipulation often present in toxic relationships. The protagonist's realization that they can 'do this on my own' signifies a turning point where they choose to prioritize their well-being over the dysfunctional dynamics of the relationship. The repetition of 'All alone / Hearts don't fold they bend then break' underscores the solitude and resilience required to break free and start anew.

'Never Change' by Savage Hands is an anthem of independence and self-empowerment. It resonates with anyone who has felt the need to reclaim their identity and strength in the face of adversity, making it a relatable and inspiring piece of music.
