Hey John, What's Your Name? lyrics

I think this song is about letting yourself getting too involved in the world, about striving to be beautiful and popular and be coming a "king" or "queen" in your social structure. But really, there's no point in it, because this life is temporary, and eternal life is forever. Salvation has nothing to do with what's on the outside as it "lies within." We ought to worry more about how we stand with God than with each other, unfortunately, as the lyrics say, "we find ourselves so horribly weak" as in we all fall into wanting to be beautiful and popular and of high status. We all try to become a part of the world at some point, and when we fall, we jus thave to try and make it up to each other. We also need to pray for each other when we know that's goin on within someone near us.

to be honest, i agree with your first understanding - clever...

Ahh...Scratch that, actually this song represents the deceptive existance of American Society. Think about it.

The concept of fashion is to blame for painting portraits of meaningless existence amongst society. Glorification's of oneself as a "King and a Queen" promote self mutiliation. For instead of claiming to be yourself you are an icon for meaningless perfection. Your "convictionless existence" as Fashion Kings and Queens, Models, political puppets, and stars gives yourself the representation of a portrait of nothingness consumed with your status. This status produces a period of megalomania in your life where you believe you are all waelthy, successful, and dominant. Once this wreckless period passes your mutilated life catches up with you and like all others who have lived a life of wrecklessness and evil, all you can do is find salvation within yourelf and forgive and save the life that has been destroyed by makign an offering to God.
