Looks like Aaron sees two types of people in this world, those who try with all their hearts, the ones who peel away their pride, and want nothing more then to love.
And then there are those who are self-absorbed and uncaring only because they've decided that they can take others for granted and steal their life away. Causing others to suffer so that they feel better.
I love how Staind is sooo upfront with their lyrics.
"And i wonder hows your brother
Did he end up fucked up like me?"
Stating that through the suffering and the pain of decided to do good in life, other people will fuck you up. But at the same time you know that all this pain has made us so much stronger. So he realizes there are others like him, and one person is this person's brother. That maybe he hints this person is causing all this pain all around him, making scapegoats around everyone.
I love it because those who try so hard and follow their heart are the scared ones when they are young. We are the ones who get tormented and we have to recede within ourselves to a better place (our dreams). But now as he grow up, we become stronger and our dreams start to filter into the world through the very pores in our skin.
Karma is true, it is the very thing that weighs heavy on us. But just remember, it takes longer to affect the uncaring ones, because karma is based on how much we focus on the things we've done. But that is why those people are so damaging to themselves. They go unnoticing and uncaring until it swells up into a large rock. The weight gets to be too heavy.
