People, please comment on the actual song meaning! Yes, it's from Andrew Lloyd Weber's Broadway musical Evita, and it has meaning within that context. I think it's about more than just that she hasn't changed and is still one of the people. I think it reflects that the character has just peaked, and finds herself disillusioned with power and glamour and all that she's worked for. I think it's about how success can seem to change people but inside they still are the same, and often find their lives still feel empty, and their basic need is still for love and acceptance, just as it is for all people, in all stations of life. Maybe I'm reading too much into the song, but I think that's what's great about poetry and songs - they can be universal (like when you mis-hear the lyrics to a song for many years but prefer it the way you'd heard it, not the way you find out it actually goes...)
