The Man
Diferent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this fictional
Or is this reality
Can I fix it all
Or is that insanity
Is this my destiny
Where's the rest of me
Where is the man
That I dreamed I'd be
Who's gonna tell the boy
That his dream fell through
Who's gonna face the noise
And face the truth
Fiction is my drug
It lies to me
The only one that calls my bluff
Is the boy I used to be
Is the boy I used to be
Every mountain that I climb
The frostbite gets me
There's a storm and I'm the eye
Oh the winds they won't cease
I dreamed of the blue skies
They're only ever in the distance
Everything that is good dies
Gone on an instant
Who's gonna tell the boy
That his dream fell through
Who's gonna face the noise
And face the truth
Fiction is my drug
It lies to me
The only one that calls my bluff
Is the boy I used to be
Aaaaah
Is there hope
Is there hope in the tears
Aaaaah
Is there hope
In the fading years
Who's gonna tell the boy
That his dream fell through
Who's gonna face the noise
And face the truth
Fiction is my drug
It lies to me




The only one that calls my bluff
Is the boy I used to be

Overall Meaning

These lyrics appear to capture a sense of disillusionment and self-reflection, questioning the distinction between fiction and reality. The singer is contemplating whether they have the power to fix their situation or if doing so would be considered insanity. They are searching for their true identity, wondering where the person they once dreamed of becoming has gone.


The lines "Who's gonna tell the boy that his dream fell through" and "Who's gonna face the noise and face the truth" suggest a sense of disappointment and a confrontation with harsh realities. The singer acknowledges that fiction has become their escape, their drug that lies to them. However, the only one who can see through this facade is the younger version of themselves, represented by "the boy I used to be."


The lyrics further explore the struggles faced in life. Climbing mountains becomes a metaphor for overcoming challenges, but the singer acknowledges that with every climb, there is a cost. They experience pain, symbolized by "frostbite," and face constant turmoil represented by an unending storm. The blue skies they once dreamt of seem distant, and the fleeting nature of all that is good becomes apparent.


The repeated question of "Is there hope?" suggests a yearning for something better amidst the tears and passing years. The singer is searching for a glimmer of hope and wonders if it can be found in their moments of vulnerability and sadness.


In conclusion, these lyrics illustrate a sense of disillusionment and the struggle to reconcile dreams with reality. The singer grapples with the blurred lines between truth and fiction, seeking solace in their internal dialogue with the younger version of themselves. They acknowledge the challenges faced in life and question if there is still hope to be found.


Line by Line Meaning

Is this fictional
Am I living in a made-up world


Or is this reality
Or is this actually happening


Can I fix it all
Can I solve all the problems


Or is that insanity
Or would that be considered madness


Is this my destiny
Is this what Fate has in store for me


Where's the rest of me
Where is the version of myself I expected to become


Where is the man
Where is the person I envisioned becoming


That I dreamed I'd be
That I once imagined myself to be


Who's gonna tell the boy
Who will inform the young version of myself


That his dream fell through
That his aspirations have failed


Who's gonna face the noise
Who will confront the chaos and disturbance


And face the truth
And confront the reality


Fiction is my drug
Escaping into fantasy is my addiction


It lies to me
It deceives me


The only one that calls my bluff
The only one who sees through my facade


Is the boy I used to be
Is the younger version of myself


Every mountain that I climb
With every obstacle I overcome


The frostbite gets me
I experience pain and coldness


There's a storm and I'm the eye
There is chaos and I am the calm center


Oh the winds they won't cease
But the strong winds won't stop blowing


I dreamed of the blue skies
I imagined a life filled with happiness


They're only ever in the distance
But those moments of joy are always far away


Everything that is good dies
All the positive things come to an end


Gone on an instant
Disappear in a matter of moments


Is there hope
Is there still a chance


Is there hope in the tears
Can tears bring solace and optimism


In the fading years
In the final stages of life
