No Need To Explain

It is often difficult to be yourself and do things your own way while others have expectations of you.

and if you gain a power, where would it take you,and how would you control it?

its saying be yourself and don't try to please anyone because to please another you must make a fool of yourself

I agree with what everyone says. But I think its a song about trying to help someone who is stuck in a situation where they need to be strong inside and be themselves.

I agree with BagelEater, good song

I just hate how people (including myself) expect others to understand them when they don't show who they really are! What stupid expectations! If we all dumped the false appearances, then life would be easier. Everybody is a universe, a dream, and everything in the world is a symbol and perception to an idea on the reality inside our hearts. I think a weak person needs to admit to their weaknesses and move on. That's strength. The person in the song isn't like that, and they are too preoccupied with fears. People need help with making choices sometimes. The only choice they have to make though is to be their own leader, and themselves.

To me, this song is about inner strength. The person that's inside the soul is the inner voice that will help make the right decision, but do you let her go and trust your instincts or let doubt take over?

Of course you're scared -- everyone is. But do you have the strength to make the right decision?
