So if you think your life is complete confusion
Cause your neighbors got it made
Just remember, please, it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
The song "Please" by Dennis De Young explores the theme of human nature and the deceptive nature of material possessions. The lyrics "So if you think your life is complete confusion, Cause your neighbors got it made" suggest that people often compare their lives to others and feel inadequate if they do not have the same level of success or material possessions. However, the next line "Just remember, please, it's a grand illusion" serves as a reminder that material possessions do not bring true happiness and contentment. Despite the façade that people put on displaying their goods and wealth, deep down, everyone is the same and experiences similar emotions and desires.

Let's leave behind the idea of fame and success and focus on the message of the song.

The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the need to escape from the superficial image of stardom.
So if you think your life is complete confusion
If you believe that your life is in disarray and without direction,
Cause your neighbors got it made
because you compare yourself to people who seem to have their lives figured out,
Just remember, please, it's a grand illusion
please remember that the idea of a perfect life is just a fantasy,
And deep inside we're all the same
and that, no matter how different our exteriors might seem, we all have the same human needs and emotions within us.
