You Are What You Love Lyrics
i interpreted the "you are what you love and not what loves you back" kinda similarly to the idea that you have to define yourself based on your own standards, not as others see you/through someone else's eyes or by their standards. you are what YOU love, you are defined by your actions, your loves, your emotions and not those reciprocated by others (what loves you back).
"And I'm in love with illusions So saw me in half" One of my favorite song lyrics.
I love Jenny Lewis. She's incredible.
i think that
"We see our fears and everything Our songs, faces, and secondhand clothes"
seems to make more sense as:
we see our fears IN everything- our songs, faces, and secondhand clothes" ? just a small adjustment but yeah.
You can't help who you fall for, like, love, feel an instant connection with, it just IS. But sometimes they aren't the best people for you. People have their own problems, separate from your own problems. But it also say a lot about you depending on who you are WITH and what you are willing o put up with. Also just because that person is fucked up doesn't mean you are as fucked up as them. I guess we accept the love we deserve. BUT we should be with people who think we awesome for who we are instead of just settling

God I love this song. Jenny Lewis is such a good song writer.
brilliant
The song has a sort of upbeat rythm, and i like the message of it, it's simple, but it says a lot. "You are what you love And not what loves you back"
she is really coming into her own, ain't she? rilo kiley is great but there's something more personal about this.
