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..
