The overall viewpoint of this song is written in a seperate perspective than the rest of the album. It is written from the perspective of eeveryone in the band , not just scott and mark. It talks about how leaving the band after weathered; This was a minus for creeds experience, but for alter bridge...
[Verse 1]
I stand surrounded by the walls that once confined me
Knowing I'll be underneath them
When they crumble when they fall
With clarity my scars remind me
Ash still simmers just under my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Difference smiles again
So much I hide
How is stepping back a move forward?
[Chorus]
Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell mewhich is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me which is you
[Verse 2]
Eerily time made no change
Pointing fingers, laying blame
Lying over and over and over and over
Deceiving your mind
Dug my grave, trash my name
Yet here I stand so you won't fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Difference smiles again
So much I hide
How is stepping back a move forward?
[Chorus]
Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me which is you
[Bridge]
I bleed inside
Just let it out
Just let it out
I bleed inside
Just let it out
I'm going to let it out
Just let it out
Just let it out
Let it die
[Chorus]
Now I'm forced to look behind
I'm forced to look at you
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Broken mirrors paint the floor
Why can't you see the truth
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me, tell me which is you
Tell me, tell me,tell me, tell me
Tell me which is you
[Outro]
You wear a thousand faces
Tell me which is you
Tell me which is you
