It's amazing how time will teach you the meaning of something you might have heard 100 times before, but never fully understood it.
A few minutes ago, I was listening to this song again and I finally 'got' a line - this one:
"But the sounds of the crowds when they come to see me now, is not the same
And the jest of it all is I can't recall my name"
Being a performer usually means changing your name. As a musician myself, my own stage name is not my 'real' name, and it's almost alien to hear my own given name on stage or thereabouts. I could see how constant performing causes you to lose your original identity.
