Don't Change Lyrics
Don't rock the boat baby. He's grounded and he is straight forward. Don't change me or yourself.
This is all conditional love is.Don't change for me.
@emuInAmuumuu Do you mean unconditional love?

The song is just about being at the peak moment of your life, every problem resolved, and wanting to remain in that space forever. A very powerful song for a very powerful feeling.
@Quonset This is my interpretation as well.They play it in "Underbelly Golden mile" when Sydney was at its peak,and how I wish it was all still like that! A lot of Sydney people don't like how Sydney has changed and miss the"old Sydney" even with its "underbelly" element!

i think it's about loving yourself and accepting others as they are and CHOOSING to be happy and not bitter, understanding expressed boundaries clearly without feeling pain or anyone being at fault.
This was on the Limited Edition Miss Murder single by AFI. Miss Murder definitely could be about the suicide of someone widely admired. Michael Hutchence, singer of INXS, committed suicide in 1997. I think there is a definite connection there. Davey Havok did a beautiful cover of this song.
This is a soaring anthem that will not leave your head if you listen to it too much... or, in my case, for twenty seconds on iTunes... how in the world can something that short get stuck in someone's head? Anyway... I love this song :)
"I'm standing here on the ground, the sky above won't fall down"- favorite lyrics. It seems to be about finally achieving happiness.
Don't change a thing for me...
This song is about having a bad relationship with someone and moving on. I'm standing here on the ground, the sky up above wont fall down (not the end of the world, I'll live). I see no evil in any direction (I'm good and free of hate). Don't change for you, don't change for me (I'm gonna be happy regardless what you choose to do). I found a love I had lost (self love). Execution of bitterness, message received loud and clear (you were an a** to me and you have issues, I get it).
I know this song was inspired by one of them having a bad relationship and moving on from it. It could've been a relationship with a family member or a girlfriend, but it is amazingly simple yet very effective. A really great song. It's like they're saying just love yourself and let the hate go back to its source.
I think this song is about the end of an abusive relationship, and the victim loving themselves once again ("I found a love that I lost)"
"Don't change" means he's done. There's nothing further into the abuser can continue to be who they are. ("Execution of bitterness.")
"Message received loud and clear" > you're not changing and I can see it now.
"I'm standing here on the ground... resolution of happiness" > I'm back.
One of the most touching break up songs ever written.
why has no-one commented? a classic, and the best INXS song in my opinion, duno what it means, but a really great song
for me, its just about remaining true to yourself. and also, finding a lost love.
