Stay The Same Lyrics

It sometimes happens, it always happens to me
But then "always" isn’t a word I use, "always" isn’t a word I choose

When I know that this won’t survive much longer
Unless we alter what we have
But then again survival is not why we should

Stay the same, if we can’t be the same
We won’t stay the same
Our similar thoughts will never let us
Stay the same, as we can’t be the same
We won’t stay the same as we intend

You know that I won’t be much help to you,
But it won’t happen the way that you’ve always planned it
Just so you could become, more interesting this time
For a purpose, only now I know the purpose

And I know that what is here will not be here much longer
Unless we alter what we have, or alter what we don’t have
What we won’t have, what we’ve never seemed to have
What we tried to have, we’ve failed to have
And all of this was just so we won’t

Stay the same, if we can’t be the same
We won’t stay the same
Our similar thoughts will never let us
Stay the same, if we can’t be the same
We won’t stay the same
Just because we think we are the same

It’s just so we won’t
Stay the same, if we can’t be the same
We won’t stay the same
When we believe we are not the same

I think it's right that this is about Scottish Culture. It's like the catch-22, Scotland has always been a progressive country and part of its culture is changing, Scotland can only be who it is by continuing to change.

You could certainly interpret a progressive relationship with someone in the same way, if you're constantly trying to better each other there is always room for change, even if you love each other for who you already are.

My Interpretation

don't hold on for the sake of holding on, and don't expect everything to be equal and perfect, there is no perfect, there is no "always". this of course referring to relationships. thats what I think at least.

hmm, i don't think this has anything to do with relationships, i think its about scottish culture and how its getting lost in modern society because ppl aren't staying true to their national identity. Roddy wants things to stay the same but people are changing.

yeah, but i do thing that's about relationships.
