Everchanging Lyrics

In the face of change
Is when she turned to me and said
"I'm not sure anymore??

And there amidst the waves
And the cloudless skies
That blanket the year before
I watch my life wash ashore

Have you ever been a part of something
That you thought would never end?
And then of course it did

Have you ever felt the weight inside you
Pulling away inside your skin?
And then something had to give

Now the lines are drawn
Is this feeling gone?
The best parts of this have come and gone
And now that is all this is

With the reasons clear
We'll spend another year
Without direction, full of fear
But now things will be different

There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I
Always something in this everchanging life
And it probably always will
Now that time is getting harder to come by
The same arguments are always on our mind
We've killed this slowly fading light

Now something has kept me here too long and you can't leave me if I'm already gone

Make the same mistakes we're always hanging on
Break the promises we're always leaning on
All this time spent waking up
Now I keep this line open to get this call from you as you speak the words
That keep me coming back to you now this time it's all different

Now something has kept me here too long and now I'm gone...

Have you ever felt the weight inside you

The best parts of this have come and gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

to me the song is about a couple, but the girl doesnt know anymore, since they are going in different directions[or feelings] and so they break up with promises to each other, but the guy realizes the girl is just leading him on so he leaves before she can.

I just want to thank layinginthegrass for being the 1st person to actually state what this song means. I also think that her interpretation was right on. A couple is together for a while and all of a sudden the girl is not sure anymore and wants to break up. The guy gets the signal and leaves before she can break his heart. it seems to me from the line "now i keep this line open to get this call from you as you speak the words that keep me coming back to you" that the girl has broken up with the guy before and the guy took her back. But not this time, the guy wants it to be over for good because as much as it may hurt him, he knows now that this girl isnt the one for him afterall. That is a painful realization that i have just come too myself after being with a girl for 3.5yrs. She broke up with me for the 2nd time and instead of taking her back i said no. Extremely hard and painful thing to do. Rise Against explains this situation beautifully. The Unraveling is still my fav of thier albums.

everchanging by rise against is with out question the best punk song of our time, and rise against is with out question the best punk band of our time. This was the second song i ever heard by them (the first was reception fades) and since their first album came out a few years ago they have continued to produce amazing albums. even now that they are getting popular they still continue to create great songs.
