Changing

So, there I was, listening to music as I was washing dishes, and this song came up on my MP3 player. Even though I listen to a lot of songs by this group, and have had this one on my computer for years, I never noticed it until last night.

The song is "Changing," by The Four Bitchin' Babes. I believe you can listen to it (or a long sample of it) by clicking this link.

The lyrics are behind the cut (because I'm posting a lot today, and I figure that will make it easier for people to see all the new ones!).


I guess it’s time for me to introduce myself
I would like to be polite and offer to shake your hand
But I’m not quite sure who I am any more
I’m always changing, changing,
changing, changing

I’m in the car and there in the square rear view
Is a lady, I say “Hey! Who the hell are you?”
Cause I don’t recognize that old soul behind my eyes
She’s always changing, changing (changing)
changing, changing (changing)

Once I was a daughter, then I was a mother
and I’ve been a sister, never was a brother though.
People I used to be don’t even say hello to me
I’d like to introduce my selves to each other,
but they keep….

One of these days, I wish I would just stay put
And be this too, too solid flesh from head to foot.
But like a pink, purple, blue sunrise, or a cloud that cries,
I’m always changing, changing (changing)
changing, changing (changing)

So my friend, oh, it’s been fun to meet,
if you wanna go ahead and press my button, press delete
because though I’m really, really, really here,
it won’t be long, I fear,
till I’m changing, changing (changing)
changing, changing (changing)


So am I projecting my own issues or does it seem like this song is really about DID?
