Cover art for See The Constellation lyrics by They Might Be Giants

This song, to me, is about seeing yourself the way others see you and not deluding yourself.

"found my mind on the ground below.. in the sky all dressed in black" is him realizing that accomplishments, outward appearance and the thoughts you have are what people care about.

It seems like a few tmbg songs are about the parts of the personality and dealing with conflicts between them.
