Q: I always wondered if, in "might quit", the line "do you remember the way that we dreamed we could change our lives, do you feel like changing your mind", meant that our lives are not under our control, or that they can be changed by ourselves in ways we didn't deem possible, or something else?
A: "do you remember the way that we dreamed we could change our lives" is not a very good line and i'm sorry about that. but, "do you feel like changing your mind" i feel is a strong line, for many reasons. it's a question, so that allows multiple answers. it is also about "changing your mind" which has multiple outcomes because there's multiple things you can change it to. also, the phrase "changing your mind" means multiple things. it is normally expected to mean changing your plan or opinion, but, it can also mean changing your method of thinking. a lot of possibilities. Also the word "mind" seems to be an escalation from the word "lives". "mind" is a nice escalation from "life", because the mind can actually imagine and change the course lives
