1.You look like me I'm sorry for you
You talk like me I can't understand you
You think like me You're ***ing crazy
You want to be me But that's okay because
2.You act like me You're embarrassing
You talk like me You don't listen
You think like me You're so *** crazy
You want to be me But that's okay because

When these memories become
liquid dreams Just like fantasies and like fallen
leaves I guess All I need is to find
my desires and set out to acquire them
That is all my friend

| I think you can see someone better then you can see yourself sometimes. I also think it's because sometimes people open themselves up more to you then you do to yourself. Once someone is hanging out there just for their honor I think you can start to relate with someone and it brings out the good in yourself which I think is a specific person to him in this case. | |

| I think this song is about someone who acts like you, who is yer shadow in like.. Every way. And you reflect back on them... On what they do. And you don't like, so you don't like yerself. Or something, i don't know. | |

| this song is my favorite Taproot song. However, it can be interpreted in another way. This is, that he is addressing all the other rap-rock bands that are out there. Think about the lyrics. He's talking about how all these other bands have the same image that TapRoot does, but since they are doing that, then he moves on to find a new image and sound ("hanging by a thread for your honor just helps me to see inside myself). | |

| I thought the song was a bit more about introspection. I imagine he is looking in a mirror and seeing himself and thinking about his own opinions of himself | |

| It's modesty defined...you're like me, and I'm sorry that someone else has to be like that. He's also putting himself in their shoes, and when he looks inside of them, he sees himself, and it shows him his desires, so he can set out to find them. This is an amazing song. | |
