Change

"Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas, I need to get myself away from this place. I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself, and we could all use a little change"   - Greg Camp


I just quoted smash mouth, I think that makes me totally awesome. But aside from that, the whole quote is pretty true. And I just realized I analyzed this section of the song and shall now share with ya. 


So the first bit talks about needed some change for gas, and that is extremely true because gas costs an arm and a leg right now. Right after it though however just speaks of taking a break, getting away from what ever may be holding you back physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. A lot of time, I will see myself introspectively and realize hey, this is not the best idea to be looking down that road and yet I do it. I realize that I have things holding me back from merely moving forward in life, and  not going to even lie, a lot of it is me. Sometimes we need to get a break from life, and from what ever may be holding us back. 


Now the next line is pretty snazzy too, we all get worn down, and this portion of the verse just reminds us that we all need to be fueled back up sometimes. Every now and then people get at each other's throats, they get tired, cranky, annoyed, obnoxious, and ultimately need a little refueling to get back to what is "normal". (again I have no clue what normalcy truly is) But we do need that bit of R&R or else the whole world would go insane, and hectic. But the big impacting part of this verse has to be the end, "we could all use a little change". I don't know how often we as people do this, mainly chicks, but we go around and criticize how others are. Whether big or small flaws, we all have problems! But so much of the time people push aside their own faults and go into looking at what is messed up with the neighbor. The truth is though, we all could use a little change. We all have things in our life that aren't what they should be. We all have hindrances that we need to leave and run away from. 


We all could use a little change in a lot of different areas in our life. We all have our little hang-ups, and every now and  then we all run a little empty on energy, patience, and life. So every now and then, we are required more than just pocket change, but the concept and the action of change.
