I hear a nod to Amy Mann here. What a great lyric:

"You are hiding in your mind Working all the time Trying to make it better than you got it

You been spending all your time Searching for a sign That's never gonna look the way you want it"

I love that he is introspective yet willing to look bad here. Very liberating, not just for himself but for anyone who gets it.

Reminds me of "You get there by realizing that you ARE there." (Buddhist saying)
