Changer Lyrics in English GIMS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Changer by GIMS from French to English.
My friend, my future
My life, forgive me
This blank face full of sadness
So many times I had to lie to you
Or slip into someone else’s skin
Miles between words and deeds
You ended up seeing my little act
But let me, I can explain everything
Sometimes I do things I don't control
The night helps me meditate
It's in those moments I tell myself I'm gonna change
Change
I'm gonna change
My troubles, my cravings
My desires, my pleasures
Took over my family life
Till they pulled me away from it
Money destroys others' hearts
I can't tell enemy from friend
Too bad, I don't want their empire
I'd rather have your smile in a mouse hole
But let me, I can explain everything
Sometimes I do things I don't control
The night helps me meditate
It's in those moments I tell myself I'm gonna change
Change
I'm gonna change
Sitting in the dark
Busy counting my flaws
At the far end of the hallway
Hanging onto an atom of hope
Sitting in the dark
Busy counting my flaws
At the far end of the hallway
Hanging onto an atom of hope
Eeeh
Let me, I can explain everything
Sometimes I do things I don't control
The night helps me meditate
It's in those moments I tell myself I'm gonna change
Change
I'm gonna change

SONG MEANING

“Changer” is GIMS’s late-night confession booth, set to music. The Congolese-French superstar drops the show-business mask and speaks directly to a loved one, admitting to lies, temptations, and the distance between his words and actions. Fame, money, and endless desires have pulled him away from family life, yet whenever darkness falls he sits alone, counts his flaws, and clings to a tiny spark of hope. In that stillness he promises himself one thing: I’m going to change.

Behind the catchy melody lies a universal struggle. GIMS shows how easy it is to lose yourself in success, to mistake enemies for friends, and to let greed “destroy the heart of others.” At the same time, he reminds us that self-awareness is the first step toward redemption. The song is both a heartfelt apology and a motivational anthem, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and believe that transformation is always possible—even if it starts with nothing more than an “atom of hope” in the dark.
