Only I, for one, am not as philosophical as The Talking Heads so I never quite got it. This song slammed it home for me when I needed it most.
At some point in your life, you may wake up and not like who you've become. You've got years of scars--injustices given and received, painful losses, embarrassing miscalculations--to overcome; you've got present relationships and situations to consider; and you've got to make changes to secure your own future mental well-being. Some people will watch you change, and the energy and excitement you invest in that change, and assume you are preaching a New Way to them. But you're not. Now more than ever you know that another life is none of your business, and you'd just like some acceptance, or at least peace, while you take control of your own to live on your own terms, honestly.
