Oof. I relate to this song so much. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, CF, and Elhers Danlos Syndrome last year when I was fifteen. It has no cure, but you can help the progression of it if you do physical therapy. I did my therapy every day for months, but I just kept getting worse and worse. Eventually, I started to have to use a cane. Being sixteen with a cane is rough, and I’d try to hide it the best I could. I just keep getting worse, and I’ve been trying so many medications and treatments it’s getting exhausting. I guess I should stop trying to hide and push down the effects of my diseases and unapologetically be me.
Try to change.. I try to change.. I make a list of all the ways to change my ways. But I stay the same, I stay the s-ame. Ohh.. I will try and try to change but I just stay the same. Stay the same, I stay the same. In a decadent age I try to change all my decadent ways but I just can't help but stay the same. In a decadent age. Ohh.. I will try and try to change but I just stay the same. The same.. The same.. The same.. The same.. Carry a cane. I carry a cane. 'cause I tried to change and I tried too hard so I hurt my leg and well, overall I just stayed the same. Now I carry a cane. Ohh.. I will try and try to change but the list I made of changes to make, it bleww awaayy.. blew away.. blew away.. blew away.. Try to change, Try to change, I try to change, Try to change, Everybody be tryin' to change, tryin' to change, I try to change, I try, it's safe to say, some Don't change
A lot of people think this is about how you should change, but it seems more like that we change anyway. When we try to change, it feels like nothing is happening, because we don't become a different a person overnight. We end up slipping up or forgetting. We change, but it's slow and we never notice because it's always so small and subtle. It's more saying don't force yourself or put too much pressure on yourself for it. Just adjust parts of your life, aspects about you that you don't like, and change will come. You'll just never observe it.
From experience, unless you are hurting someone by being who you are, don't change. I used to be a shy but confident in my writing and relatively happy and creative kid. I got caught up in social interaction and trying to be better that way than actually using my skills that they're mostly gone now. I need to catch up on what I abandoned. Sure, I have a few more friends now, but they don't feel real. I've always been really insecure about relationships and myself and I feel like I should just work on my skills instead of worry: use all that anxiety to motivate me, I guess. Geez this became a ramble. Anyway, don't change for people. If they can't accept you the way you are then they don't deserve you. Cliche saying, but it's true. Find people that give you proper attention and respect.
It never took me multiple tries on guessing what this song meant. First time I listened to it, I understood. This is one of my favorites from Mother Mother, it's a beautiful song and the meaning is truly powerful. No one should be someone they're not. You being you is an amazing thing, it shows your confidence and positivity. It also shows that you're not afraid of being who you are. And yes, we all have those moments where we feel we don't fit in or we think we're different from others. That feeling is the worst. But we're all different in our own way. That's what makes us.. us. So to anyone who's reading this, seriously, don't change! You are special the way you are! Have a great day.
This song is beautiful and sums up how my life has been for the past few years. I try so hard to change anything about myself; whether it be bad habits, trying to recover from poor mental health, whatever.. but then nothing ends up happening and I end up in the same position as I was in when I started, making no progress. People would argue, "you're not trying hard enough" but sometimes the truth is that I'm trying way too hard, therefore collapsing.
I relate to this so much... So many people have called me awkward and overly shy. Whenever this is a school holiday I add to my list of things to change about myself, trying to create a new personality, one that is well-liked. It never works though, and now I've forgotten who I originally was...
LittleGhostCat same. now most of the time I don't even know how am I supposed to react to situations, which of the personalities am I suppose to show at times, it gets confusing.
i’ve seen a lot of people saying they relate to this when it comes to trying not to be shy and get more confidence, but i relate in a different way. i feel so unhappy, and so angry all the time. i try to stop being so irritable but i just get even more irritated. i’ve pushed people away from me and i try so hard to stop being so mad at everything. at this point i don’t even know what i’m mad at. i’m not trying to be an edgelord or whatever, i just genuinely don’t know where else to talk about this.
This probably won’t help at all, but you’re definitely not alone. Pretty much everything you just said described my life at the moment, even though this was 10 months ago. I’ve been trying to take anger medication but it just doesn’t seem to work on me. I hope that things are better for you since you wrote this comment.
@@sage_ever_green1793 thank you for that. life has gotten better , tho my emotions can still be overwhelming sometimes things have definitely gone up. i really hope the same happens for you sometime soon. i really appreciate you saying something :)
@@marivillalva9084 i know i made this comment a year ago, but the me from back then would be happy she wasn’t alone. i promise you it gets better. my emotions can still be overwhelming sometimes, but no where near as bad. it sucks, but in the end it’s worth it. you will be okay, i promise.
Maybe change is a bad thing. Maybe it isn’t. I’ve changed over the past few years and the one thing I noticed is that the people you love the most and don’t want to change, actually do. And at the worst possible time as well. You could have a year where you stay exactly the same but the person you didn’t expect to did and that hurts. But one thing you have to realize is everything is changing, constantly. And the sad truth is there’s nothing we as human beings can do about it. It sucks, yes, but I try not to dwell on it and wish things were how they used to be. Bc trust me if everything went back to how you want it to be it wouldn’t feel the same and you’d end up being so miserable and feel like something’s off, even if it’s only for an hour. One thing I love about mother mother is their ability to capture a certain feeling and describe it perfectly without even using a ton of words (me using a ton of words rn BAHAH) but their music is something I can’t describe and that’s why I love it. Sometimes when you want to change for someone so much it destroys who you are. And youll find out that destroying who you were wasn’t worth it. And putting in all that effort wasn’t either. I’ve learned that the hard way LMAO. If you feel like you are ready and YOU will genuinely feel happy if you “change” then go for it. Dye your hair, cut it, get that job you’ve been wanting, apply for that college, ask that person out, etc. You are in control of what you do. If at any point in your life you feel like you’re not doing it for yourself and you’re being forced chances are you’re not happy (no shit) don’t waste your time thinking about other people. Don’t change bc you think they will “like you more”. It’s easier said then done but trust me, the moment you stop living your life through other peoples lives it’ll be amazing. I am still struggling with that. But it has been so much better since last year and since I’ve cut toxic people out. I feel like something is going right for once, and not because someone told me so. Sooner or later things will change in your life and mine. It might be bad, it might be good. but In the end you have to know it’s not your fault things are changing. I hope whoever is reading this has an amazing day/night and I didn’t bore them to death with my whole ass speech LMFAO
@@panda7915 oh my gosh I didn't expect people to see this!! not gonna lie I completely forgot I even made this comment LMAO. Im very glad I could help you out :)) hope you had an amazing day today:)
@@Fxaufaiiry Im so glad! there are endless opportunities out there, and one step towards them is letting go of those feelings you had in the past. I'm so proud of you and I hope you have an amazing day/night!!
Okay so, I don't wanna sound edgy-- but I relate to this song. I'm extremely awkward and shy, unsociable. And so, whenever I meet up with people I think to myself new ways to fit in and be more liked, or at least interact with people properly. Yet when the time comes, I can't do such things and always stay the same. smh
I have recently discovered Mother Mother and I have to say that at least their “O my heart” have a lot of songs I can relate to and it just, feels good to see / listen how are the things I can’t even explain myself, giving each song I’m talking about my own interpretation..
Lyrics since nobody posted them yet: Try to change. I try to change. I make a list of all the ways to change my ways. But I stay the same, I stay the s-ame. Ohh. I will try and try to change but I just stay the same. Stay the same, I stay the same. In a decadent age I try to change All my decadent ways but I just can't help but Stay the same. In a decadent age. Ohh. I will try and try to change but I just stay the same. The same. The same. The same. The same. Carry a cane. I carry a cane. 'Cause I tried to change And I tried too hard So I hurt my leg and well, overall I just stayed the same. Now I carry a cane. Ohh. I will try and try to change But the list I made of changes to make, It bleww awaayy. Blew away. Blew away. Blew away. Try to change, Try to change, I try to change, Try to change, Everybody be tryin' to change, Tryin' to change, I try to change, I try, it's safe to say, some Don't change
This is Me Whenever My Mother Pushes me to Change my Attitude,But it's Impossible and whatever she says to me just Stabs me in the Heart and Leave me Wounded.But My Dad Tells me 'It Takes time' But my Mom doesn't wait and Wants me to Change since i'm not good at math and keep on failing,But Pushing your Child isn't the right thing. I Asked my mom if she could buy a stress relieve toy for me,She said 'Don't Talk Nonsense you don't need one stupid.' That just hits me so hard. And when i forgot to do my homework and get home she says i make the Wrong Friends and do Stupid things all Day. I Keep on telling her That i didn't make wrong friends and do stupid things all day... And When i Said 'I'm a Disgrace to Humanity' to Her , She said 'Yeah you are.' I Feel so Broken Right now....
You don't need her in your life if she constantly treats you like this. I can sadly relate. My dad is the same way. He told me he hates me and I try to push him out but it is hard.
this song gives off vibes of wanting to change, of wanting to accepted and noticed by others but it doesnt work in the end and you realize that you cant change but they can
I had a friend I had lost for a good chunk of time. I apologized and we were friends again. The relationship was going good for the most part, but, to them I needed to change.. To them I wasn't a good person.. I tried to change, it just got worse, we aren't friends anymore due to me trying to change, and that backfiring, kinda letting me understand I should be myself vs, 'someone else'... Idk, but, tie that into this song because this song was one I listened to a lot during that time, and I still listen to it way too much, though, you can never have enough Mother Mother, eh?
Ive been having some troubles with a dear friend of mine, and she just keeps pushing me away. Ive made more attempts than she has to save our friendship and she persists to tell me i dont care. But i understand how you feel reguardless.
at least im a peace with the fact i may never change. and that's ok. i accept it. they'res no point in fighting because it'll get me nowhere, so im happy simply just being.
So I think I'm bulimic and as I was about to puke this popped up in my recommended. A song has never come in at such a perfect time. Thank you mother mother
i was looking through my old diary and some of my older artworks last week. and i found it comforting that in some ways- i hadn't changed at all. but at the same time i have grown so much!
From the day this album came out, to all these years later, this song of all the great ones on the record feels so personal because I've always been in that struggling loop. Actually, it feels even more personal now. I grew up fat, and depressed, I got in great shape for a time, temporarily happy, then I destroyed my shoulder, now I'm out of shape, depressed, and live in constant pain as a cherry on top. So yeah if you could not foresee my dark future with your next releases I'd appreciate it MM.
As someone with a binge/restrict disordered eating cycle, this song hits DIFFERENT. I've tried for so many years to break free of the cycle and stop and go in one direction (restricting or eating normally) but I always end up back in the cycle. No matter how many times I try to change my behavior, I don't change and I'm just as sad as before at the same weight I started. I know I won't get better without professional help but there's some fear holding me back. Back to enjoying the song..
It's legit January 1st, 12:00 a.m. This song hits hard personally talking bout me right now. I'm disorganized schizophrenic. I have no friends, no one who really cares about me as much as I do. They're being just polite I can fluently say. rn, I am on a treehouse cafe, with this song and a cup of coffee on my left.. I tried so hard to have a more extroverted presence cozI want to be memoried. I tried so hard that I had to carry a cane.. Now I am back to my calm face.. EDIT: this is my Sis account and I disabled my TH-cam haha..
Mother Mother's songs hit home. I love their music - it's catchy and pleasant to the ear. But lyrics... they're relatable. I'm a stubborn, conservative person who forcefully tries to change people around myself "for their own good". I'm slightly scared of people, and when someone's nice to me, I think they're faking it. I have some trust issues. I want to change and I'm searching for different ways how to change. I try to, but I'm still going back to square 1. I'm glad that I found this band. Their songs are a real banger!
The way the melody of this song sounds strangely fits the “I try to change but don’t do in the end” feeling, it feels so lonely, so miserable, it... it just fits Edit: I meant all of this in the best way possible, I meant to say it sounds amazing.
Man this song hits too close to home. Bad procrastination habits and being too tired or unmotivated or something to break them, even when it causes me a lot of stress. I feel really shitty that I waste so much time and can't bring myself to care in the moment, and I don't really know how to change. I'm too scared to tell anyone about it, I don't want to like,, burden anyone I guess? More than I already do? And it's just an endless downward spiral, driven by an inability to change my bad habits. Ggghh I don't really vent at all but this song just reminds me of my problems (not saying that i dislike the song in ANY way, it's a banger), and idk, feels good to confess to the void of the internet. Stay safe, passersby.
> be me > 14, feel awful all the time > love this song > decide I want to change and be less miserable > see a therapist for a coupla years > "it sounds like you're in pain all the time. you should get that checked out" > go to a doctor > doctor diagnoses me with chronic pain > start using a walking stick to cope well overall I just stayed the same. but now I carry a cane :-)
I was in pain all the time too and no one ever did anything about it until I was in my 20s, You deserve to be pain-free!! I'm not sure what your chronic pain is caused by, but your rights include pain management! I also love my cane and I'm so glad you got one!
I've seen a lot of comments saying they relate to this song because they're shy. They want to change so they can speak up. For me, it's the opposite. I just can't learn to shut my mouth, now can I? I've lost everyone close to me because I can't keep quiet. I've tried for many years to be loved by all, but it's not possible. It's okay to be hated by some, but not by most. I, unfortunately am hated by most. This song makes me realize that even though I'm seen as an asshole, I'm at least trying to do something about it.
Everyone’s talking ab wanting to be more confident but I want to be quiet. I used to be rlly quiet and I never got in trouble and I seak praise from my classmates and family so I’m always extra and loud and I beat myself up over stupid things I say later. I don’t think I have gone through a single nights where I didn’t hit myself because of something I did. It’s tiring
I really relate to this song cause everyone told me that I'm so emotional and I always was like I will be strong I will not show negative emotions because I don't want people to think me as a week person but I just can't change about this im trying hard but when my emotions blow up no one can't stop them and I'm so unhappy about this fact
+galattici I've been trying to think of some to answer your question but I really can't think of any, please do tell me if you find a song alike. If you're talking about Mother Mother in general, I find a few songs from the Eureka album remind me of the Beatles, but for this song in particular, I can't think of anything.
galattici Their music isn't exactly 100% like this, but for some reason Dance Gavin Dance (yes it'd a band reminds me of Mother Mother. It might be just me, but who knows
A year later and I decided to make this the first song I would listen to as 16. The only thing that's changed is that I'm more depressed than a year ago. But, I still made it to 16. I never thought I would even make it to 12, let alone this. Sometimes change isn't good, but change allows you to find pride and a sense of achievement in some things, like just getting out of bed in the morning, like "hey, things have changed and I'm really sad but look, I just overcame it momentarily". Idk what I'm saying, welp. See you in one year.
It's midnight, November 7, and I am now 17. The past year has, in many regards, been the worst year of my life- rather than being a case of "what should I talk about?" in this annual comment, it's now "what can I spare mentioning?". I feel lost. However, it has been a year of change. Whilst I do feel lost, my lack of plans has enabled me to focus on the present and as such, enjoy living in the moment. As of late, I jump between extreme highs and paralyzing lows, causing me to constantly be conflicted between "I'm doing amazingly mentally" and "I can't take this anymore". Right now, in this moment, I feel great- on top of the world, even. But, come tomorrow, I will likely be frozen on my bed with my mind screaming at me to jump out of my window. I've never been more confused by my own mind. I want to believe that I am, finally, getting better. Although the lows are still present, I think I'm able to recover from them a lot quicker and more effectively than I ever have in my entire life. But, honestly, the change scares me. Of course, I want to get better, but I'm terrified of what that means. I've been broken for so long that the images on my damaged pieces are so faded that they can't be formed to create a real picture anymore. I'm a puzzle that can't be pieced back together. What is life like outside of the darkness? As in my previous comment, I didn't think I would make it this far. Thinking back on the 14 year old kid who sat at his computer waiting until midnight, waiting until 15, and then decided to make this his song, the melody for his distorted soul, I remember that he didn't believe that he was going to make it to the next year. 365 days to act out the repetitive routine of doing everything to not collapse under the weight of living- to not give up, despite that being the only thing on his mind. Well, kid, you made it to 17. Clearly something within you is silently stronger than the echoes of death that reverberate in your emptiness. For the next year, I intend to try to change the parts of me that I don't like; but, additionally, learn to love elements of this person-suit which are beyond my ability to edit. Soon enough I will hopefully be watching the clock tick to my 18th birthday, preparing yet another comment to add underneath this hauntingly bittersweet song. Maybe it will be filled with bliss and I will be able to share my achievements, rather than a raw insight into the vulnerability of my psyche. Maybe it won't be too dissimilar to this one. Regardless, I am here. I can feel the air in my lungs when I breathe and can listen to my heart beating its own, lifelong swansong. I am alive. And I want to keep it that way.
I feel really connected to this being a people pleaser sucks cause you change to form to someone and then someone else doesn’t like you and the it’s a internal circle
When I was a kid I was forced to go to social gatherings it bothered me alot every time I went it was always some one hugging ant talking messing with my hair it bothered me so much it was really awkward for me,my parents pushed me to change I started getting stressed even standing in a store.I relate to this song,just one out of 100 reasons I love mother mother
I guess it's true. I tried to work harder in school and get everything turned in on time and in good quality, snd every time I tried I failed. The harder I tried the harder and faster everything fell apart. I just couldn't reach the goals I wanted to, so I guess I'm supposed to go back to turning things in late or not at all and not doing well on things.
Heya :D 2021 is already around the corner haha I wonder if people from the future are ever gonna see this comment and be like "Wow that is a relic of a comment"
So at the age of 5 years old my journey with mental health started and at 6 and a half I went to my first mental hospital, I kept going back and forth and eventually cps put me in a group home so those got thrown in the back and forth mix. I'm now 22 years old and im still absolutely nowhere close to changing or understanding what needed to be changed in the first place, I've technically got my life ruined from decisions I didn't even make and only known my family for 7 years off and on out of the 22 I've been alive, im living minute by minute and I've accepted/came to terms with the path thst got thrown before my feet.
I tried being straight so that I wouldn’t go to hell but you can’t exactly change your sexuality. I just got hurt trying to change myself. I’m accepting my bisexuality now, but on some days, I still wish I wasn’t like this. This song has helped me accepting myself though
I relate to this but in a weird way. I change and have the personality of what would be 'likeable' when approaching someone or a group of people. I'll fit into their tastes and relate to them. However, I can never change and be myself - I don't even know who I am anymore
the song sounds more like they arent actually changing to be a better person & are just making excuses for why they havent changed lol. like an "oh... oops lol"
I feel like this song is less about being a better person and more about accepting who you are
Couldn't agree more with you
Professor Gucho ikr
Me dealing with my internalized biphobia whoops. I’ve tried to change it but sexuality isn’t something you can change to make others happy
That was literally me at 12
More like accept how you are and improve to be better, and love yourself even more

This song is beautiful and sums up how my life has been for the past few years. I try so hard to change anything about myself; whether it be bad habits, trying to recover from poor mental health, whatever.. but then nothing ends up happening and I end up in the same position as I was in when I started, making no progress.

LittleGhostCat same. now most of the time I don't even know how am I supposed to react to situations, which of the personalities am I suppose to show at times, it gets confusing.
LittleGhostCat dont try to change yourself just because of what people tell you. You are perfect as you are.
You shouldn't try to change for ppl unless you are changing for the good of you...which is always nice I recently did that and I like myself more now
My chest feels this song the pain it makes is unexplainable
i’ve seen a lot of people saying they relate to this when it comes to trying not to be shy and get more confidence, but i relate in a different way. i feel so unhappy, and so angry all the time. i try to stop being so irritable but i just get even more irritated. i’ve pushed people away from me and i try so hard to stop being so mad at everything. at this point i don’t even know what i’m mad at. i’m not trying to be an edgelord or whatever, i just genuinely don’t know where else to talk about this.
This probably won’t help at all, but you’re definitely not alone. Pretty much everything you just said described my life at the moment, even though this was 10 months ago.

@@sage_ever_green1793 thank you for that. life has gotten better , tho my emotions can still be overwhelming sometimes things have definitely gone up. i really hope the same happens for you sometime soon. i really appreciate you saying something :)
@@miamia-rl9he that’s really great that things are getting better for you! I hope things get even better for you as time goes on :)
I feel the exact same way, sometimes I get so mad at incredibly stupid thing and it makes me feel so horrible
@@marivillalva9084 i know i made this comment a year ago, but the me from back then would be happy she wasn’t alone. i promise you it gets better. my emotions can still be overwhelming sometimes, but no where near as bad. it sucks, but in the end it’s worth it. you will be okay, i promise.
Maybe change is a bad thing. Maybe it isn’t. I’ve changed over the past few years and the one thing I noticed is that the people you love the most and don’t want to change, actually do. And at the worst possible time as well. You could have a year where you stay exactly the same but the person you didn’t expect to did and that hurts. But one thing you have to realize is everything is changing, constantly. And the sad truth is there’s nothing we as human beings can do about it. It sucks, yes, but I try not to dwell on it and wish things were how they used to be. Bc trust me if everything went back to how you want it to be it wouldn’t feel the same and you’d end up being so miserable and feel like something’s off, even if it’s only for an hour. One thing I love about mother mother is their ability to capture a certain feeling and describe it perfectly without even using a ton of words (me using a ton of words rn BAHAH) but their music is something I can’t describe and that’s why I love it. Sometimes when you want to change for someone so much it destroys who you are. And youll find out that destroying who you were wasn’t worth it. And putting in all that effort wasn’t either. I’ve learned that the hard way LMAO. If you feel like you are ready and YOU will genuinely feel happy if you “change” then go for it. Dye your hair, cut it, get that job you’ve been wanting, apply for that college, ask that person out, etc. You are in control of what you do. If at any point in your life you feel like you’re not doing it for yourself and you’re being forced chances are you’re not happy (no shit) don’t waste your time thinking about other people. Don’t change bc you think they will “like you more”. It’s easier said then done but trust me, the moment you stop living your life through other peoples lives it’ll be amazing. I am still struggling with that. But it has been so much better since last year and since I’ve cut toxic people out. I feel like something is going right for once, and not because someone told me so. Sooner or later things will change in your life and mine. It might be bad, it might be good. but In the end you have to know it’s not your fault things are changing. I hope whoever is reading this has an amazing day/night and I didn’t bore them to death with my whole ass speech LMFAO
Thank you so much. You've inspired me to do a lot of things
@@panda7915 oh my gosh I didn't expect people to see this!! not gonna lie I completely forgot I even made this comment LMAO. Im very glad I could help you out :)) hope you had an amazing day today:)

Ok. My heart just got punched by lyrics. Didn't expect that to happen today!

"I try to change
I make a list of all the ways to change my ways
But I stay the same"
I feel so called out what is going on how do they knew
Everyone always expects me to be different... but nobody tells me how.
Okay so, I don't wanna sound edgy-- but I relate to this song. I'm extremely awkward and shy, unsociable. And so, whenever I meet up with people I think to myself new ways to fit in and be more liked, or at least interact with people properly. Yet when the time comes, I can't do such things and always stay the same.
smh
How would anyone find that the least bit edgy like what the fuck?
omg ikr
How is that edgy? Music is meant to be relatable, in some way or another. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for connecting with a song. :)
MissyMuffin same here...
Trying to impress everyone will lead to disappointment
when youre awful and hate being a bad person 👌
Felt that. I’m rlly toxic but I can’t help it and It’s so frustrating.
Same
@I steal Panta Do you try to understand them?
Honestly, same
Here we go again. It's 2021 and this is my anthem
I have recently discovered Mother Mother and I have to say that at least their “O my heart” have a lot of songs I can relate to and it just, feels good to see / listen how are the things I can’t even explain myself, giving each song I’m talking about my own interpretation..
@Aldo ambrosio magaña yeah, I consider this to be there best album out there
me: sad while listening to this song
trumpet: “i think not” toot toot
Stumbled upon this and life is changed
Lyrics since nobody posted them yet:
Try to change.
I try to change.
I make a list of all the ways to change my ways.
But I stay the same,
I stay the s-ame.
Ohh.
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same.
Stay the same,
I stay the same.
In a decadent age I try to change
All my decadent ways but I just can't help but
Stay the same.
In a decadent age.
Ohh.
I will try and try to change but I just stay the same.
The same.
The same.
The same.
The same.
Carry a cane.
I carry a cane.
'Cause I tried to change
And I tried too hard
So I hurt my leg and well, overall
I just stayed the same.
Now I carry a cane.
Ohh.
I will try and try to change
But the list I made of changes to make,
It bleww awaayy.
Blew away.
Blew away.
Blew away.
Try to change,
Try to change,
I try to change,
Try to change,
Everybody be tryin' to change,
Tryin' to change,
I try to change,
I try, it's safe to say, some
Don't change
This is Me Whenever My Mother Pushes me to Change my Attitude,But it's Impossible and whatever she says to me just Stabs me in the Heart and Leave me Wounded.But My Dad Tells me 'It Takes time' But my Mom doesn't wait and Wants me to Change since i'm not good at math and keep on failing,But Pushing your Child isn't the right thing. I Asked my mom if she could buy a stress relieve toy for me,She said 'Don't Talk Nonsense you don't need one stupid.' That just hits me so hard.
And when i forgot to do my homework and get home she says i make the Wrong Friends and do Stupid things all Day.
I Keep on telling her That i didn't make wrong friends and do stupid things all day...
And When i Said 'I'm a Disgrace to Humanity' to Her , She said 'Yeah you are.'
I Feel so Broken Right now....
You don't need her in your life if she constantly treats you like this. I can sadly relate. My dad is the same way. He told me he hates me and I try to push him out but it is hard.
I love every single song in this album.
I'm trying
Chubby, don't chaaaange
this song gives off vibes of wanting to change, of wanting to accepted and noticed by others
but it doesnt work in the end
and you realize that you cant change
but they can
don't change.
:)
Change is good. :D
stag queen ok nice advice ill change then
Nah
I had a friend I had lost for a good chunk of time. I apologized and we were friends again. The relationship was going good for the most part, but, to them I needed to change.. To them I wasn't a good person.. I tried to change, it just got worse, we aren't friends anymore due to me trying to change, and that backfiring, kinda letting me understand I should be myself vs, 'someone else'... Idk, but, tie that into this song because this song was one I listened to a lot during that time, and I still listen to it way too much, though, you can never have enough Mother Mother, eh?
Don't change. If they don't like who you are, forget about them! There are way more people who will love your personality!
Ive been having some troubles with a dear friend of mine, and she just keeps pushing me away. Ive made more attempts than she has to save our friendship and she persists to tell me i dont care. But i understand how you feel reguardless.
I honestly just accepted the fact that I sabotage friendships on purpose I acknowledge it and I control my urge to do bad things
Every song that isn't part of a musical and I like seems to always be from Mother Mother. Their music is just amazing.
at least im a peace with the fact i may never change. and that's ok. i accept it. they'res no point in fighting because it'll get me nowhere, so im happy simply just being.
So I think I'm bulimic and as I was about to puke this popped up in my recommended. A song has never come in at such a perfect time. Thank you mother mother
man...This song is so awesome...This song deserve 100000000 likes!
Agreed
It's actually the less-listened song from the album and I seriously can't see why
i was looking through my old diary and some of my older artworks last week. and i found it comforting that in some ways- i hadn't changed at all. but at the same time i have grown so much!
From the day this album came out, to all these years later, this song of all the great ones on the record feels so personal because I've always been in that struggling loop. Actually, it feels even more personal now. I grew up fat, and depressed, I got in great shape for a time, temporarily happy, then I destroyed my shoulder, now I'm out of shape, depressed, and live in constant pain as a cherry on top.
So yeah if you could not foresee my dark future with your next releases I'd appreciate it MM.
As someone with a binge/restrict disordered eating cycle, this song hits DIFFERENT. I've tried for so many years to break free of the cycle and stop and go in one direction (restricting or eating normally) but I always end up back in the cycle. No matter how many times I try to change my behavior, I don't change and I'm just as sad as before at the same weight I started. I know I won't get better without professional help but there's some fear holding me back. Back to enjoying the song..
It's legit January 1st, 12:00 a.m. This song hits hard personally talking bout me right now. I'm disorganized schizophrenic. I have no friends, no one who really cares about me as much as I do. They're being just polite I can fluently say. rn, I am on a treehouse cafe, with this song and a cup of coffee on my left..
I tried so hard to have a more extroverted presence cozI want to be memoried.
I tried so hard that I had to carry a cane..
Now I am back to my calm face..
EDIT: this is my Sis account and I disabled my TH-cam haha..
Mother Mother's songs hit home. I love their music - it's catchy and pleasant to the ear. But lyrics... they're relatable.
I'm a stubborn, conservative person who forcefully tries to change people around myself "for their own good". I'm slightly scared of people, and when someone's nice to me, I think they're faking it. I have some trust issues.
I want to change and I'm searching for different ways how to change. I try to, but I'm still going back to square 1.
I'm glad that I found this band. Their songs are a real banger!
The melody of this song makes me feel nostalgic about things that never even happened
I tried to change and broke my arm. This song just reminds me of that every time.
The way the melody of this song sounds strangely fits the “I try to change but don’t do in the end” feeling, it feels so lonely, so miserable, it... it just fits
Edit: I meant all of this in the best way possible, I meant to say it sounds amazing.
No matter how many times I try to be a good person and get on top of everything, it just swamps me again. I rarely manage the bare minimum.
Man this song hits too close to home. Bad procrastination habits and being too tired or unmotivated or something to break them, even when it causes me a lot of stress. I feel really shitty that I waste so much time and can't bring myself to care in the moment, and I don't really know how to change. I'm too scared to tell anyone about it, I don't want to like,, burden anyone I guess? More than I already do? And it's just an endless downward spiral, driven by an inability to change my bad habits.
Ggghh I don't really vent at all but this song just reminds me of my problems (not saying that i dislike the song in ANY way, it's a banger), and idk, feels good to confess to the void of the internet. Stay safe, passersby.
> be me
> 14, feel awful all the time
> love this song
> decide I want to change and be less miserable
> see a therapist for a coupla years
> "it sounds like you're in pain all the time. you should get that checked out"
> go to a doctor
> doctor diagnoses me with chronic pain
> start using a walking stick to cope
well overall I just stayed the same. but now I carry a cane :-)
I was in pain all the time too and no one ever did anything about it until I was in my 20s,
You deserve to be pain-free!! I'm not sure what your chronic pain is caused by, but your rights include pain management!
I also love my cane and I'm so glad you got one!
I always loved this song so much 😞
I relate in the way that drugs become the only thing making you happy and everyday you realize how screwed up you really are lol
my name is hank
*thumbs up*
sure thing rae
Are you sure about that, "RAE"?!
Hi hank
my name is jeffrey
I've seen a lot of comments saying they relate to this song because they're shy. They want to change so they can speak up. For me, it's the opposite. I just can't learn to shut my mouth, now can I? I've lost everyone close to me because I can't keep quiet. I've tried for many years to be loved by all, but it's not possible. It's okay to be hated by some, but not by most. I, unfortunately am hated by most. This song makes me realize that even though I'm seen as an asshole, I'm at least trying to do something about it.
I feel like this song is like accepting who you are. even if your a bad person
Mother Mother sings how I feel!
Everyone’s talking ab wanting to be more confident but I want to be quiet. I used to be rlly quiet and I never got in trouble and I seak praise from my classmates and family so I’m always extra and loud and I beat myself up over stupid things I say later. I don’t think I have gone through a single nights where I didn’t hit myself because of something I did. It’s tiring
i interpret this as a person who suffers from severe depression and cant seem to pull themselves out of it
I really relate to this song cause everyone told me that I'm so emotional and I always was like I will be strong I will not show negative emotions because I don't want people to think me as a week person but I just can't change about this im trying hard but when my emotions blow up no one can't stop them and I'm so unhappy about this fact
This song reminds me of my grandparents house cuz we lived near a railroad and I liked to watch the trains pass
I like this song i take it in a way where you want to change but you literally cant
I think this is the mother mother song I relate to the most
Happy new years going into 2023 with this
I need to find songs or artists with a similar sound/feel to this song for a playlist I'm making. any suggestions?
+galattici
I've been trying to think of some to answer your question but I really can't think of any, please do tell me if you find a song alike. If you're talking about Mother Mother in general, I find a few songs from the Eureka album remind me of the Beatles, but for this song in particular, I can't think of anything.
Warpaint, pretty gud
galattici Their music isn't exactly 100% like this, but for some reason Dance Gavin Dance (yes it'd a band reminds me of Mother Mother. It might be just me, but who knows
Amanda Palmer sorta reminds me of them, at least in It Runs In The Family.
Um maybe a couple of Cage the Elephant’s songs?
i dont CARE if it technically isn't underrated its STILL underrated
so it's my birthday today and this was the first song I've listened to being 15
I mean I suppose it's pretty appropriate xD
A year later and I decided to make this the first song I would listen to as 16. The only thing that's changed is that I'm more depressed than a year ago.
But, I still made it to 16. I never thought I would even make it to 12, let alone this. Sometimes change isn't good, but change allows you to find pride and a sense of achievement in some things, like just getting out of bed in the morning, like "hey, things have changed and I'm really sad but look, I just overcame it momentarily".
Idk what I'm saying, welp.
See you in one year.
It's midnight, November 7, and I am now 17.
The past year has, in many regards, been the worst year of my life- rather than being a case of "what should I talk about?" in this annual comment, it's now "what can I spare mentioning?".
I feel lost.
However, it has been a year of change. Whilst I do feel lost, my lack of plans has enabled me to focus on the present and as such, enjoy living in the moment.
As of late, I jump between extreme highs and paralyzing lows, causing me to constantly be conflicted between "I'm doing amazingly mentally" and "I can't take this anymore". Right now, in this moment, I feel great- on top of the world, even. But, come tomorrow, I will likely be frozen on my bed with my mind screaming at me to jump out of my window. I've never been more confused by my own mind.
I want to believe that I am, finally, getting better. Although the lows are still present, I think I'm able to recover from them a lot quicker and more effectively than I ever have in my entire life.
But, honestly, the change scares me.
Of course, I want to get better, but I'm terrified of what that means. I've been broken for so long that the images on my damaged pieces are so faded that they can't be formed to create a real picture anymore. I'm a puzzle that can't be pieced back together. What is life like outside of the darkness?
As in my previous comment, I didn't think I would make it this far. Thinking back on the 14 year old kid who sat at his computer waiting until midnight, waiting until 15, and then decided to make this his song, the melody for his distorted soul, I remember that he didn't believe that he was going to make it to the next year. 365 days to act out the repetitive routine of doing everything to not collapse under the weight of living- to not give up, despite that being the only thing on his mind.
Well, kid, you made it to 17. Clearly something within you is silently stronger than the echoes of death that reverberate in your emptiness.
For the next year, I intend to try to change the parts of me that I don't like; but, additionally, learn to love elements of this person-suit which are beyond my ability to edit.
Soon enough I will hopefully be watching the clock tick to my 18th birthday, preparing yet another comment to add underneath this hauntingly bittersweet song. Maybe it will be filled with bliss and I will be able to share my achievements, rather than a raw insight into the vulnerability of my psyche. Maybe it won't be too dissimilar to this one.
Regardless, I am here. I can feel the air in my lungs when I breathe and can listen to my heart beating its own, lifelong swansong. I am alive.
And I want to keep it that way.

yeah im not going to change for 2017
What about for 2018?
Hell yeah.
what about for 2019
What about 2020
what about for 2021?
This song makes me cry. Fuck.
I feel really connected to this being a people pleaser sucks cause you change to form to someone and then someone else doesn’t like you and the it’s a internal circle
When I was a kid I was forced to go to social gatherings it bothered me alot every time I went it was always some one hugging ant talking messing with my hair it bothered me so much it was really awkward for me,my parents pushed me to change I started getting stressed even standing in a store.I relate to this song,just one out of 100 reasons I love mother mother
This has some 90's anime style in it.
Gracias kat por hacerme ver que no debo cambiar♡
Don’t change unless ur hurting others by our actions
So... enbies how we holding up? Or are y’all just listening to this song to distract yourself from your self loathing?
Trying to both stop it and making it worse
So...... Holdin up alright :)
The latter :)
The intro sounds like wicked for some reason ahhhh
I need to change...
I guess it's true. I tried to work harder in school and get everything turned in on time and in good quality, snd every time I tried I failed. The harder I tried the harder and faster everything fell apart. I just couldn't reach the goals I wanted to, so I guess I'm supposed to go back to turning things in late or not at all and not doing well on things.
Hayat veren albüm ♥️
so true
personally relate to this very much as a very horrible person who NEEDS to change
hey if your here in 2020 please talk to me, i feel lonely reading all these comments from years ago
Don't worry, your not alone, I did it too

So at the age of 5 years old my journey with mental health started and at 6 and a half I went to my first mental hospital, I kept going back and forth and eventually cps put me in a group home so those got thrown in the back and forth mix. I'm now 22 years old and im still absolutely nowhere close to changing or understanding what needed to be changed in the first place, I've technically got my life ruined from decisions I didn't even make and only known my family for 7 years off and on out of the 22 I've been alive, im living minute by minute and I've accepted/came to terms with the path thst got thrown before my feet.
Anyone else reminded of house md?
I tried being straight so that I wouldn’t go to hell but you can’t exactly change your sexuality. I just got hurt trying to change myself. I’m accepting my bisexuality now, but on some days, I still wish I wasn’t like this. This song has helped me accepting myself though
Okay but one million views and only 10.000 likes?
unless it's hurting you physically don't change
I relate to this but in a weird way. I change and have the personality of what would be 'likeable' when approaching someone or a group of people. I'll fit into their tastes and relate to them. However, I can never change and be myself - I don't even know who I am anymore
This is my like my dad when i first saw him after 3 or 4 years. He has changed as a person but he hasnt changed as a dad (In a bad way)
I love how they intentionally repeat lyrics to get on the theme of repetition.
mother mother’s songs need to stop being so damn catchy smh,,, ,
the song sounds more like they arent actually changing to be a better person & are just making excuses for why they havent changed lol. like an "oh... oops lol"
Amo 🛐
I can somewhat relate to this song
I dedicate this song to my notes app
This song is such a MDD feel
