The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
I've been searchin', searchin' all round
Perfect love but you could not be found
I thought that I was lost forever
Dreaming that we'd be together
Every time like yesterday
Love will come by – not to stay around
Now I found that
Love's my teacher – when you came and you showed me the way
Now I need you – and I know that you're going astray
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
Ooh, I've been searching for that feeling
Perfect lover – you cannot be found
I thought that I was lost forever
Dreaming that we'd be together
Every time like yesterday
Love will come by – not to stay around
Now I found that
Love's my teacher – when you came and you showed me the way
Now I need you – and I know that you're going astray
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
Perfect love but you could not be found
I thought that I was lost forever
Dreaming that we'd be together
Every time like yesterday
Love will come by – not to stay around
Now I found that
Love's my teacher – when you came and you showed me the way
Now I need you – and I know that you're going astray
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
Ooh, I've been searching for that feeling
Perfect lover – you cannot be found
I thought that I was lost forever
Dreaming that we'd be together
Every time like yesterday
Love will come by – not to stay around
Now I found that
Love's my teacher – when you came and you showed me the way
Now I need you – and I know that you're going astray
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
You are the one who set me free – steppin' into my life
You changed my world to fantasy – steppin' into my life
