You can't change without sorrow's shadow / Any time you change, someone is going to miss the old you
'cause then it's gone and you still shine / But once sorrow's shadow passes, you shine in the sun
You can't change to solve somebody's name / You cannot become someone else just to give someone an identity
Don't blink until you're made / Don't think twice until you've become who you want to be
There must have been some tension when Hope decided to work on her own material sans Mazzy Star. She couldn't surpress her creativity for the sake of the band. She had to follow her muse in spite of the sorrow and allow herself to shine independently from Mazzy Star.
The Mazzy Star bit is a stretch, but you can insert any subject into that. It's the best I can come up with.
Just a crack at the lyrics:
