thier is alot to this song and i have edited it for language but plz read the lyrics and discuss how you interpret it and if it applies to you?


If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow
If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be, would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow
Bow, aww yeah
If you let them make you, they'll make you paper mache
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
Then you crumble and blow away
If you let them f**k you, there will be no fore-play
Rest assured, they'll screw you complete
Til your a$$ is blue and gray
You should make amends with you
If only for better health, better health
But if you really want to live
Why not try, and make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now
I won't let them make me, It's more than I can allow
So when I make me, I won't be paper mache
And if I f**k me, I'll f**k me my own way
POW, f**k me in my own way
POW, f**k me in my own way
POW, f**k me in my own way
F**k me in my own way
You should make amends with you
If only for better health, better health
But if you really want to live
Why not try, and make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself

oh ya forgot to put that the song is by Incubus sorry ^_^

i understand this like: don't b what other's want u to b.
don't let them rule your life, it's like an anarchist song...

exactly dont be a fallower be yourself... trying ot be someone else will fall apart sooner or later becouse you are being only skin deep. If you become who you were ment to be an individual you will be much stronger in all that you do and YOU will determan your life not anyone else.

i think of it as don't accept urself to make people happy make ur self who u r be happy for urself not so others r happy with u

i agree rayne i think thier are people here who forget that...... plz continue how do others interprete the song?

I agree with ob1. I really like the song, but (god Im going to sound like my mum here) f*ck sounds so much better when its being sung then in the written lyric, and from this viewpoint I dont think that many really helps get the meaning of the song accross, but it does deliver the anarchaic tone.

I don't see why people need to be called anarchists if they just think for themselves. Isn't that a way of actual "living" ?

The lady has a point...

i would have to agree with rayne

There are so many songs I don't think one can really apply to me. I don't need a song to explain how I feel though it is nice to hear that some artists try to free think for themselves.

the truth to what one feels applys is what one feels is true to him or her self for this i leave this one thing.

what is life but the search of knowledge of one self and self enjoyment.
this to be shared with one another makes life divine.

looking for self-knoweldge is very important, as well as being who you are.
but i believe that we can learn something else equally important from Lao Tzu,

use no way as way
