"This song came to life very quickly. After I played around with the initial riff, all subsequent parts kind of naturally fell into place. It's a song full of dynamics and different textures, with a look to the future while we also nod to the past, especially in the middle section. Fabio did a brilliant job with the vocal lines and delivered a very inspired performance. The intro came about while I was working on some harmonies, then Fabio joined in and the magic happened." (Felipe Andreoli)

"The 'Tide Of Changes' lyrics were the first I wrote for the »Cycles Of Pain« album and portray exactly what the title denounces. We live in a moment of great instability and, while our ego seeks the comfort zone and control, it is fundamental to adapt to this impermanence, to surf the waves of destiny and not on our expectations. It's the pains and frustrations that shape and strengthen us, to the point where we can beat our chest and say: ‘Let the next wave of difficulties come. Want to take another piece of me? Come on, I've waited for this moment!'" (Rafael Bittencourt)

Lyrics:

TIDE OF CHANGES - PART I
If you'd go back in time for one single day
One tiny change in life and you wouldn't be the same
Oh, life is a tide of changes
Why a deed so small may affect it all
Mysteries that make me wonder
Oh, life is a tide of changes
Remember this


TIDE OF CHANGES - PART II
Here I am, torn down to pieces
And from where I stand
Rock bottom made me stronger
Even when the days seemed longer
For all kinds of stormy weather
I had enough
I had enough to make my fears my strength
And now you're back

To take another piece of me
Take another piece and think I’m falling
Take your chance I've waited for this moment
Take another piece of me
Take another piece of me, I’m warning
Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again
I'll rise again

There I was
An ordinary man struggling to get along
I wonder where you were when I was
Breaking all the chains around me
Trying to find a place for myself in this world
And I can't wait to see you come again
To feel my fire

Just wanna take it, so take it
Take another piece of me
Take another piece and think I’m falling
Take your chance I've waited for this moment
Take another piece of me
Take another piece of me, I’m warning
Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again
I'll rise again

Calm tide ahead
Strong tide ahead
When you think you know it
Life's a tide of changes!

(Salve, salve Iemanjá
Salve Janaína, e tudo que se fez n’água.
Jogue flores para o mar
Deus salve a rainha)

If you wanna take it
Take another piece of me
Take another piece and think I’m falling
Take your chance I've waited for this moment
Take another piece of me
Take another piece of me, I’m warning
Take your chance I'm ready for this moment to rise again
I'll rise again

Strong tide ahead
