like say this song
whats the writer trying to say?
a lonely moon type question
I think if you feel like you have been lied to all your life
or just lied to in general
or have been breathing stulyfied air for too long
feel like you have been trying to breathe underwater
holding your breath..
you may end up coming up singing this song at the top of your lungs..

The Logical Song
Supertramp
When I was young
It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
They'd be singing so happily joyfully
Oh, playfully watching me
But then they send me away
To teach me how to be sensible, logical
Or responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Or clinical, or intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am
I said, now watch what you say
They'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, or presentable, or a vegetable
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
At night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

that last line bespeaks of a plaintive cry that is at once
a touchstone and hallmark of the agony and the exctasy
of youth
and yet a siren like serenade at the midnight hour
of all the glorious trappings of responsibility that rest
firmly on the shoulders of adulthood; irremovable
implacable
he wants to squueze all the zest out of life, like the way you squueezze
a lemon until the pips squeek
unencumbered; free at last, to think, to dream, to live
what do you think? right? right! (quite right!) you got a bloody right
to say-y
