Maybe the end, "and you can function as someone besides who you are", just re-affirms the song as a whole. He is saying that you can actually function as someone besides who you are - which is a scary thought. Yet - just because you can function in such a manner doesn't mean it is a good thing.
Who knows if this is at all right though - because if he is saying "you CAN'T function..." then that would obviously re-affirm the fact that you shouldn't try to be someone who are not - thus making my statement above obsolete.
Either way - I think the only important thing is that we think about these things and discuss them, I think the purpose of most music/art/expression is not to get the answer but to undertand the question. That is why I enjoy this website, and erveryones comments.
