    Story Behind the Song
    The song is about how we put on masks to cover ourselves, so it wasn't difficult to think of some of the stereotypes we use to hide our real selves behond.

    Lyrics
    When I raise my eyebrows and roll up my sleeves
    You say I look just like John Malkowicz but I was trying to be Steve McQueen.
    D’you not see the Harley? Were the leathers not a clue?
    I like to look like my lookalike because it’s what a lookalike’s to do
    But who’s the ‘me’ inside? What does he really look like?
    I got nothing to hide but myself, and I know …

    Trying to be somebody else is no good for my mental health
    So tonight, Matthew, I’m just gonna be myself!
    So come on, come on, come on, come on,
    It’s your chance to shine!
    You don’t have to pretend to be somebody else
    You know that trying to be someone you’re not is no good for your mental health
    So, tonight, Matthew, just be yourself!

    I can swing like Elvis, I can croon like Dean
    Give me my fifteen minutes and I’ll show you just what I mean
    I’ve got the breasts of Britney, the hips of Cher
    A Kirk Douglas dimpled chin, and yes, it’s all my own hair!
    I do whatever I like, whenever I want: I’m Michael Stipe
    Don’t turn off that light! You know I’m lost without it.

    My mask is slipping, and my make-up runs
    I can’t keep up the game and I’m not fooling anyone
    My doppelganger is messing with my head
    Why can’t you see through this façade and like the real me instead?
    But who’s the ‘me’ inside? What do I really look like?
    I got nothing to hide but myself, and I know …
