New Person, Same Old Mistakes

About New Person, Same Old Mistakes

On the final song of "Currents", the narrator admits that his metamorphosis should be read with caution – its biggest skeptic is the side of him he left behind. The impulse to change and the fear of changing too much are at odds until the bridge, which suggests some synthesis: “This story ain’t so different from the rest.” Change and self-doubt are natural, and in the end the narrator is the same introspective person he was on "Innerspeaker" and "Lonerism". .
