how i love this song. ever so often you come upon a song that truly SPEAKS through its lyrics. "people help the people" is one of them. i think it appeals to the lonely, lost soul in us all... we pretend we're so much better than the people surrounding us when deep down inside we're just a collective of the same emotions, lives and silent thoughts... just residing in separate bodies. even though the thought sounds terribly depressing - i think the song also speaks about how every person you meet is shadowing a haunting secret, life experience etc. behind their smile and everyday routines. although some of us have had far fortunate lives than others, even the most well-off have had trying times. we're all waiting to be saved. if only it was as simple as holding a hand and showing sympathy towards your fellow being... the world would be a much happier place. for a split second, we could pretend we weren't so excluded and alienated from the very beings that live the same lives, breath the same air and cry the same tears.
