I cannot sit back, shed my broken skin.
Curse my pride, I react. Played yourself again.
Up down, and down again.
You live in a computer. You're an instant man.
Judged and told I can't. Cut your shallow hands.
How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see, when you see me?
I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one.
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.
I bow down to no one. You lack the faith.
Stand behind me, find your way.
You know you will decide
To move on with me, or step aside.
I could have lost my life
And I'm ready to risk it one more time.
How can I please all of your needs?
What do you see, when you see me?
I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view
Stand up, lay down for no one.
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.
(guitar solo)
I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view.
Stand up, lay down for no one
Take a piece of me with you.
Step back, now that I know you.
I know you're down for no one.
I can't reach you.
Step back, heard your point of view.
Stand up, lay down for no one.
Take a piece of me
Take a piece of me
Take a piece of me with you.

GREATEST SONG EVER!
I get the feeling that it is about not sacrificing who you are for the sake of someone else, especially if they are so inflexible for you.
The down aspect comes about when it is revealed that "they" are down for no one (that is not welling to change for anyone) ... including the narrator. The narrator after learning this has come up with this song to let them know that they won't be made to change for them either!
