Lookin' In

I like how he says that one day maybe you will find you're one of him. Well 17 years after he writes this I find out I am. awesome.

And I think by that, lookin' in, he means you see yourself somewhat separated from the world, like you are not just another one of the masses. You see the bigger pictures and you're not just lost in the game.

Basically, he thought that the majority of people were intelligent and could think for themselves but soon realized how ignorant the masses actually are.

suprised theres not more responses for this song. One of the more deep sociological songs; greg reveals alot of himself in this song.

microcosm of the human race pretty much says it all.

looking into someone elses eyes you may as well be looking into another species sometimes..

I always heard the 'our evolution is our demise' bit as 'a revolution'. And I think it makes much more sense, too.

We, as a people, can never meet each other half-way and reach a compromise. We, instead, seek a revolution to turn the tables and, consequently, ignore everyone else's problems.

lookin in means looking in to yourself/your own consciousness,, when youre in the middle of sick society "suddenly, it came to me a potent dosage of reality........i scoff at labels i defy censuses and despise group mentality.............", you got to have your own compass, to guide you along the way, u know what i mean..

i think the writer believes that every human is basically a good person..but everyone seems to get lost along the way,,n the only thing that could guide them is their own consciousness,,their inner..looking in..
