Things Have Changed
“Things Have Changed” delves into the adverse effects of digital addictions and material abundance on our everyday lives.
The song begins by reminiscing about a time when missing someone you love meant waiting patiently for their return. Longing was a blessing that strengthened bonds. However, now video calls have replaced that longing, and the once-strong bonds have crumbled.
​
In the past, broken things were mended to save money. Now, people throw things away out of boredom or greed. Abundance has become the enemy of our times, leading to wastefulness and a lack of appreciation for what we have.
​
Family used to be about togetherness at home, but now it’s often just a house where everyone fights for their own space. Social media encourages showing off children for likes, comments, and shares, even though privacy issues abound. The song laments the loss of genuine togetherness and wishes for a way to turn back time.
In summary, “Things Have Changed” highlights the impact of technology, materialism, and shifting family dynamics on our lives. It’s an electro-pop number that encourages listeners to reflect on these changes while grooving to its melody and rhythm.

Back in the times when you were missing someone you love
There was no choice than waiting for that person to come
It was the longing, a blessing, that strengthened the bond
But now that bond has crumbled due to video calls
Yes things have changed and they're the reason for all your pain
Yes again and again it will drain all your brain
You'll scream you will shout not knowing what its about
The system's gone to the dogs, its too late to make a change
Things have changed
I just hate this change
It's a shame
Things won't ever be the same
Who's to blame?
I don't know who's to blame!
But again
I can't take all this pain .. Things have changed
What one had was treasured so it lasted for life
All Broken things were mended just to save one more dime
Now all throw things away just being bored and greed's on a climb
It is abundance, the enemy of today's times
Yes things have changed and they're the reason for all your pain
Yes again and again it will drain all your brain
You'll scream you will shout not knowing what its about
The system's gone to the dogs, its too late to make a change
Things have changed
I just hate this change
It's a shame
Things won't ever be the same
Who's to blame?
I don't care who's to blame!
But again
I can't take all this pain
Things have changed
Things have changed
Things have charged
Things have changed
No no no things have changed
Family was all about togetherness at home
But now its just a house fighting for spaces of their own
You're wishing them on public space
It seems you've lost your mind
Social media is making you do stuff of crazy kind
Showing off your kids for all your likes comments & shares
With privacy issue dangers how can you even dare
Life's dancing on a song which seems to have lost its rhyme
I wish I had a switch with which I could turn back the time
Yes things have changed and they're the reason for all your pain
Yes again and again it will drain all your brain
You'll scream you will shout not knowing what its about
The system's gone to the dogs, its too late to make a change
Things have changed
I just hate this change
It's a shame
Things won't ever be the same
Who's to blame?
No one knows who's to blame!
And again
I've to take all this pain .. Things have changed
