I think the song is about being someone you're not vs. being the real you. He talks about the things people do out of fear of being alone or rejected. He uses scenarios that relate to being someone you're not and how he would rather be the person he is sometimes. "But to bow down to him anyway, is better than to be alone"-- he's referring to people and what they do to fit in. "But I would rather be alone, than pretend I feel alright"-- pretty self explanatory, but he's saying he'd rather be alone than pretend he's someone he's not. |
