My Own Design Lyrics
I've opened my eyes
so tell me what I see
I've opened my mind
so tell me how to think
and use your big words
and show me how to speak
you can't live your life through me
I can't believe you think it's that easy
Your walls are the only fence in your way
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design
Following you, and you're promised guarentees
free to choose as long as I live your dreams
you set my own weight but never ??
I'll agree to disagree
I can't believe that you are that naive
Your walls are the only fence in your way
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design
You were my eyes
You were my ears
You were my conscience all these years
no more, no more, no more, no more..
My vision has never been so clear
looks like I have no one, I have no one left to fear
Your walls are the only fence in your way
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design
You're not the mastermind..I am the product of my own design
so tell me what I see
I've opened my mind
so tell me how to think
and use your big words
and show me how to speak
you can't live your life through me
I can't believe you think it's that easy
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design
free to choose as long as I live your dreams
you set my own weight but never ??
I'll agree to disagree
I can't believe that you are that naive
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design
You were my ears
You were my conscience all these years
looks like I have no one, I have no one left to fear
your ego's been playing games with your head
your not the mastermind, I am the product of my own design

This song is amazing! I think its about someone who was leeching on to (Chris in this case) and used to control him and turned him into someone who he is not. But in this song, he's explaining how he's taking his separate ways in where he is himself - and not the person who was "created". Personally, I think this song is centered around individuality and understanding that its not necessary to follow other people's perceptions on what a proper person is - just be yourself.
This is by far my favorite song on the album, the singing is amazing, riffs are awsome!, simply a great track.
The title of this song is wrong....its not My own Design, its Product Of My Own Design
BeachBumm get it right
He's right. Amazon and Trapt's site confirm it.
It's about someone who's fed up with having every aspect of their lives dictated by some authority figure such as a constrictive parent or mentor, wishing to break away and forge their own path and develop their own distinctive legacy. They've begun to realise that their own desires and aspirations may not exactly match up with those who've had a stake in their fate for some time. I think we all hit this stage around about the culmination of high school, at which point we're flung into a world that really is foreign to us.
Oh, and the lyrics are a bit off by the way.
It's not "Your walls are the only fence in your way", but "Your walls of pride are only fencing you in".
im pretty sure its just saying fuckkk youuuu ! i am mine i create myself get the fuck out of my way :)
it's called Product of My Own Design off of their 2005 album Someone In Control.
