To be honest, Change's lyrics sound like something that SHOULD make sense and should be deep, but really don't mean anything. I love the song at all and it has great synth melodies, but the lyrics really are enigmatic. Although the vocal melodies are great too, the lyrics themselves definitely seem to be written as an afterthought. Yes, it seems to be about change, about parting friends and a disagreement between them, but it's really quite vague.
A remastered copy of the album The Hurting says the following about "Change":
"Roland: 'It's not really about much. It's just one of those cheap pop lyrics.' Curt: 'A strange little pop song.'"
