We like to project onto people, we like to paint a picture of them, idolize them, create them in our mind.
This song is about trying to move past that, into a deeper form of connection, a soul level that can not be reached easily with all that we put in its way.
lyrics
I see that look in your eye as you're taking a spy
You think you wanna try but then you don't quite know what to do
Drink in hand as you're taking a stand
You got your friend at your side as you swallow your pride
You ask to go outside so we can converse for a moment or two
You see me like a painting
See me like a picture
You think that you want me
But you don't know how it hits ya
To know that I am raw
Know that I am real
Know that I can stumble
Know that I can feel
It is the topic of the moment and we're both the one who chose it
It is me that does suppose it and it's you will soon know it
I'm gonna flow it to your ears so here we go
Its the predicament we're sittin in, reality we live
Is it the artist, or the man?
Is it the idea, or the real woman?
Is it the person that we see?
Or our projection of what we'd like to?
And how can we live up to someone else's idea of who we are?
With their tunnel vision, they don't even see who's really driving the car
To put it all aside, and live in reality
Like two raw soul, is just a philosophy
You've got me telling those lies boy
I don't know who you are
