Road trip travelator
Step on for a while
And discover your complaints, yeah
You're pushin' me, you're pushin' me
I push a printer laser
Another John Doe
How many falling stars does it take to wake a nation?
And trample through your head and lay your
Mind out on the pavement
Confusing and consuming all in all it complicates me
Another John Doe
And a another face to blame, yeah
(No.....don't don't stop
Don't don't no
Don't don't stop me
Don't don't no
Don't don't stop me
Don't dont no
Don't don't stop me
Don't don't)
You're wound so tight so tight it starts to crack
And as long as you got yours
You don't care what's left behind
It all becomes the same through the shake to try and fake it
Another John Doe and we all become the same, yeah
Another John Doe and a another face to blame, yeah
Another John Doe and a another face to blame, yeah
The song Another John Doe by thenewno2 is a reflection on society's tendency to blame others instead of taking responsibility for their own problems. The lyrics describe a road trip where the singer encounters someone who constantly complains and pushes them. The line "Another John Doe and another face to blame" emphasizes that this person is just one of many who refuse to take responsibility for their circumstances.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of how difficult it is for individuals to become self-aware and to recognize their own faults. The line "How many falling stars does it take to wake a nation?" suggests that it takes a monumental event to spark change and awaken people to their faults.
The repetition in the chorus of "Don't don't stop me" adds to the urgency and frustration of the situation, as the singer is trying to get through to the other person to take responsibility and stop blaming others.
Overall, Another John Doe is a poignant commentary on society's tendency to deflect blame onto others and the need for self-reflection and responsibility.

Only thing I can think about while watching this is how much time and focus it would've taken to set up each shot to fit with the others. I've directed a few music videos myself, and I can appreciate the creativity here!
