Don't I Look The Same
Mainstay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That won't stop for me now
One time find, lover's prize
That won't stop for me
But it's You that makes the mountains move
And sets them in their places, in their places
And don't I look the same as everyone?
Put their hope in one more kiss
That won't stop for me now
And hide their wounds inside their hearts
And they hardly breathe
But it's You that makes the mountains move
And sets them in their places, in their places
The day breaks, the night falls
And don't I look the same?
But love come and change me
So I'm hoping, You and nothing else
Stone set eyes, fixed on life that won't stop
The day breaks, the night falls
And don't I look the same?
But love come and change me, oh
So I'm hoping, You and nothing else
Stone set in You, stone set in You
Stone set in You and nothing else
The opening line of Mainstay’s “Don’t I Look The Same” speaks about how the singer feels trapped by the expectations and judgments of others, represented by “landlocked eyes, jealous minds.” Despite their efforts, the opinions of these people won’t stop affecting the singer’s life. The song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling trapped by societal pressures and expectations, and the struggle to break free and be true to oneself.
The chorus of the song speaks to the transformative power of love and faith, and how they can move mountains and set things in their places. The singer acknowledges that while everyone goes through the same motions, there is hope for change and growth with the help of love and faith.
The final verse of the song brings the focus back to the singer, who has “stone set eyes, fixed on life that won’t stop.” However, the message remains that with love and faith, one can break free from the stone and be transformed.

SEGUNDA: El día se desmorona, la noche cae Y no veo lo mismo que todo el mundo? Pero el amor viene y me cambia Así que espero en Ti y en nada más En la Roca pongo mis ojos, fijos en la vida que no se detendrá
Karinna Hackett
Traducción en dos partes: PRIMERA ojos sin litoral mente celosa que no se detendrá ahora Una vez encontramos, el premio del amor que nunca se detiene para mí Pero eres Tu quien hace mover las montañas Y los pone en su lugar El día se desmorona, la noche cae Y no veo lo mismo que todo el mundo? Ponen su esperanza en un beso más Eso no me detiene ahora Y ocultan sus heridas dentro de sus corazones Y apenas pueden respirar
