about
This song was written about all of the ghosts in Saunders' bardo but it can also be understood as applying to everyone in every bardo, including the one we are in now.
lyrics
There’s No Changin’
(©2019 Anders/O’Bitz)
As we wait here
Lookin’ back on our lives
Watchin’ others
Turn into the light
Mournin’ old loves
Mournin’ bein’ alive
Wonderin’ how we’ll
Ever manage goodbye
Without changin’
Cannot go back
And try again with our lives
Only look back
And see how we might retry
It’s a hard fact
No wishes and no lies
Cannot change that
Life is this lack
Preceding every try
And there’s no changin’
As we wait here
False bargain, true lies
Hopin’ others
Brighten up this night
Mournin’ won’t come
If mournin’ our old lies
And we avoided
All the real goodbyes
And we’re not changin’
Cannot go back
And try again with our lives
Only look back
And see how we might retry
It’s a hard fact
No wishes and no lies
Gonna change that
Life is this lack
Preceding every try
And there’s no changin’
Oh oh, Oh oh ho ho
Cannot go back
No tryin’ again with our lives, ho ho
Only look back
And see how we might retry, ho ho
It’s a hard fact
No wishes and no lies
Cannot change that
Life is this lack
Preceding every try
And there’s no changin’
Life is this lack
Preceding every try
And there’s no changin’
Every try
There’s no changin’
Every try
