Here are the Lyrics Directly from the Gnarls website...
he's standing where the sun don't shine.
"so I invited him over
HOPING to make a new friend."
"I had a talk with my neighbor.
made it Simple and plain."
"if you're scared of the darkness just leave the lights on."
I think that this is about realizing that you are who you are no matter what. Even with all the material things in the world you still have to realize true happiness is obtained when you love yourself. I think that Gnarles has had a struggle that has freed him and allowed him to reach his full potential. So thats why he has scars. Like a testimony in a way.
The reason the Neighbor wont ever be him is because he lust after world things. Instead of oneness.
