Lyrics
The Fan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How do you define yourself, it's important to know
How do you define yourself, it's a must for me to know
If you don't know how to do it, you shouldn't do it all
That's true come on and step, climb, fall over me
Narrow-minded boy, looking straight ahead
Too much chemicals shut out empathy in your head
If i shall respect you, you'll have to respect me too
Not for my technical skills, but for what i am
Defining my self as too, growing just like you
Look up to you, you look down on me
Until you can't see, what i used to be
High-tension stomach-aches ain't always perfect art
But you can do anything, pretentious, dumb or smart
So what is your answer to teh so-called eternal return
We won't get rid of it, neither of us will
Until our self-esteem is thicker than the big chill
I'm still the fan in front of the band
And you are the man in front of the band.
