One of my most favouritest favourite tracks on the album. XrookieoftheyearX, i like your interpretation, but when I look at it from a bigger perspective, to me this song is about how hard it is to truly define who you are in this age of time.
What you stand for, what you live for and what you truly believe in.
There's so many religions, cultures, languages, different perspectives in this world, not to mention thoughts on what is really "right" or what is "wrong".
Does God exists? or was it the apes?
Does heaven exist or do we reincarnate?
There are so many things you can believe in, but it's so very hard to when everything seems to contradict one another, and everyone tries to persaude you to see their point of view on all matters.
The question mark title "Maybe I Am?" emphasises on how very easy it is for people to change their beliefs, attitudes and perceptions on a whim or just out of experience.
The verses that begin with 'Maybe I'm a pessimist' and 'Maybe I'm an optimist', highlight that concept. I think the song also explores "meaning". As in what one thing means to a person may mean something completely different to another. I think it's also suggesting there's no such thing as a "one truth", there's always more that one interpretation and meaning to anything and ironically enough, songmeanings.net exemplifies that a lot.
