Seemingly sung from the perspective of a broken man who has tried and tried and seen no difference, the theme of this song seems to be about how you can persevere and try as hard as you possibly can in all you do but in the end, how much difference are you actually making on a larger scale?
It’s wo...
[Verse 1]
I will light the match this morning so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent for soon night will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way through one more day in hell
[Chorus]
How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?
[Verse 2]
I will hold the candle 'til it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction and I won't change my mind
[Chorus]
How much difference does it make?
Mmm how much difference does it make?
[Verse 3]
I'll swallow poison until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out 'til it fills this room
[Chorus]
How much difference
How much difference
How much difference does it make?
How much difference does it make?
[Outro]
(Ooh)
