I wanted to feel something
To be something
To see something
I wanted to find
One thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
Fantasy
Once reality
Becomes such a parody
If I could find
One thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
If shining
Or if shaking
It's reality faking
If I could find
One thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
To be something
To see something
I wanted to find
One thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
Fantasy
Once reality
Becomes such a parody
If I could find
One thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
If shining
Or if shaking
It's reality faking
If I could find
One thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days

He's lost and searching for some sense of meaning in his life. Everything he experiences seems to be false and he can't seem to escape the never-ending fakeness.
The song is about Brett's life being consumed by drugs, and openly admitting that he is still addicted to them.
Fuel's best song too, IMO.
Brett didn't write the lyrics or the music to this song. In fact, I don't think he wrote anything on the first album.
