its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing and I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
You're gone from here, soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'Cause everybody's changing and I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
Oh, everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing and I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
You're gone from here, soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'Cause everybody's changing and I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing and I don't feel the same
Oh, everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I'm 26 Gabigs, I know what you mean. I started hearing this song a while back ago. This song is exactly about "progress" whether it's your own or someone else. Sometimes we change, causing our perception of how we use to see things. Or sometimes, it's others who are changing and you're simply watching them drift away. The part about the light reflects this, as as you watch everyone change, you won't like it, but you'll accept it because that's reality and you'll move on "fading into a beautiful light" I think the word beautiful is used because it means you've understood how life works.
second this..because I'm being 26 yrs old now, and all around me, I kept seeing my friends change into "somebody else", into this more 'mature' guys, but somehow, have lost our childhood & youth fun, and it seems only me that really missed it the most and always wish it would always last..<br /> <br /> and right when I hear this song, I was suddenly feeling overwhelmed, because it really represents what my heart feels. everybody's changing, and I'm the only one who seems to be the "strange" one watching 'em move on with life, while me still confused as what I'm supposed to be doing in life.<br /> touching song, beautiful melody!
I think this song is about your peers changing around you. I'm a senior in high school and i've been looking back at my time in high school since freshman year and my friends have all seriously changed. My best friend used to not do drugs, now he talks to me about doing ecstasy and cocaine. my ex girlfriend sleeps with a shitload of guys now and she was still a virgin when she was with me.
I think this song is just about everyone changing around you and how you take it.
I had a college mate, she was virgin up until she became a prostitute. I don't think it's a singular case.It is happening everywhere in Europe.
I also had 2-3 highschool class mates that are also prostitutes...
PS I was always aching of this feeling that something is not alright...just like the artist...
I agree with this interpretation and had a similar interpretation in high school when I first heard this song too. Everyone seemed to be constantly changing around me and I felt lost in my own identity too.
I think this one is about the social pressure to grow up and leave your middle school, high school, college ways behind you and move on to the next step in the mapped out future others have made for you. But the person in the song doesn't know how to move on. He says that he is trying to make a move, and trying to find himself but he just doesn't "feel the same" as the rest of his pears and want to go in a different direction.
Hopefully they will be massive! They are a very local band to me.. I wish people would stop relating them to Travis and Cold Play tho
I really like this song. I think I heard the singer say that it is about how everybody seems to make progress in their lives and you don`t. But what
i just saw keane play on an old episode of snl and i really like this song. it really fits into my life because it just reminds me of the past. my old group of friends and i would always hang out when we were in high school and life was so innocent and happy and i was young and in love. then everything changed. some moved. some went to college. some changed. and it's sad and makes me long for the good ol' days that are long gone.
Yes they will be indeed a great band for many years to come *touches some wood
They are much better than the over-rated Coldplay. Keane are just fantastic and this song is great - nice'n catchy.
-mistake- But whats this fading into beautiful light thing about? Any Ideas?
BTW, better than "overrated" coldplay? no.
It just rhymes with "I don't feel right"
this song is awesome...keane should be huge
