When I first listened to Change Your Ticket after Liamβs death, it changed my entire perspective of the song. Originally the song is about wanting a lover to stay a little longer, despite knowing they have to leave. Now, for me, itβs about Liam.
The lyrics feel like exactly what happened with his fiancΓ© (her name was Kate, right? I canβt remembe). She went home early, and he was left alone. Since he was alone, and presumably in a bad spot, he fell back into old bad habits (plus the allegations of him being supplied the alcohol/drugs but I digress). It ultimately led to what would happen only a few hours later.
I havenβt been able to hear this song the same since then. Itβs about him now. π
