Something Needs to Change Lyrics
What is it you're waiting for?
Why are we still here?
Can you feel the tension in your veins
Building up like it's been bottled up for years?
In this whirlwind spinning
Spinning around and around
Tear your insides out and hang you in the air
Or hang you upside-down
Cause I'm not quite getting through to you
No, I'm not yet
Oh, and I'll never let them take
Anything away from me
Only I can take it all from me
Take it all away from me
What is it you take me for?
Like you even care
Memorize this place in time
From this point on, it's all up in the air
The second hand keeps ticking
Ticking round and around
A voice in back of my head
Is ready to come out, screaming
Must be heard
Oh, and I'll never let them take
Anything away from me
Only damage while you take
Seconds that you can't replace
These days are weighing, taking you down
Taking you with me
It's like you
It's like you have everything
Into the fire
Incinerate all our dreams
It falls away
It breaks away
It takes control
It takes control of you
Oh, and I'll never let them take
Anything away from me
Only damage while you take
Seconds that you can't replace
These days are weighing, taking you down
Taking you with me
Why are we still here?
Can you feel the tension in your veins
Building up like it's been bottled up for years?
In this whirlwind spinning
Spinning around and around
Tear your insides out and hang you in the air
Or hang you upside-down
No, I'm not yet
Anything away from me
Only I can take it all from me
Take it all away from me
Like you even care
Memorize this place in time
From this point on, it's all up in the air
Ticking round and around
A voice in back of my head
Is ready to come out, screaming
Must be heard
Anything away from me
Only damage while you take
Seconds that you can't replace
These days are weighing, taking you down
Taking you with me
It's like you have everything
Into the fire
Incinerate all our dreams
It falls away
It breaks away
It takes control
It takes control of you
Anything away from me
Only damage while you take
Seconds that you can't replace
These days are weighing, taking you down
Taking you with me

I can't believe no one has commented on this one yet!
I think it's basically about fighting for what you want. He's asking someone why they just let him/herself be walked all over and letting someone control them. Then on the flip side, he is fighting for what he wants and he won't "let them take". Then time is running out and you can either stay living a life you hate...or fight and run to a life more desirable.
