More Like You showcases themes of not liking your own perception of yourself, expertly contrasted with an anthemic chorus.
This would be later referenced in the 2023 track People Like You
I wanna be like everyone else
Be anyone but myself"
[Verse 1]
Now that we’re done with introductions
You know a little more about me
You’re convinced that I’ve been honest
But I never touched on the dreams of drowning
Addiction and self-loathing
Obsessive compulsive routine of burning
The memories of all my failings so I don’t flinch at my reflections
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s got something they wish that they could change
And I spent my life trying to be
[Chorus]
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
Ah
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I never asked to be born in this skin draped over me (Woah)
Am I as ugly on the outside as what’s living underneath?
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
How can you tell me that I’m special when I’m just another man?
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Is this everything I’ll know? Is this everything I am?
[Chorus]
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
[Bridge]
The only thing that I’m afraid of is, I will live forever
(This life’s too long for me, and I can’t take it
Wanna be somebody else, then I can make it)
The only thing that I’m afraid of is, I will live forever
(This life’s too long for me, and I can’t take it
Wanna be somebody else, then I can make it)
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s got something they wish that they could change
And I spent my life trying to be
[Chorus]
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
(Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh)
More like you, less like me
[Outro]
More like you, less like me
(The only thing that I’m afraid of is)
More like you, less like me, (I will live forever)
More like you, less like me
(The only thing that I’m afraid of is)
More like you, less like me, (I will live forever)
More like you, less like me
(The only thing that I’m afraid of is)
More like you, less like me, (I will live forever)
The only thing that I’m afraid of is, I'm gonna live forever
(More like you, less like me)
This life’s too long for me, and I can’t take it
(More like you, less like me)
Wanna be somebody else, then I can make it
(More like you, less like me)
This life’s too long for me, and I can’t take it
(More like you, less like me)
Wanna be somebody else, then I can make it
(More like you, less like me)
This life’s too long for me, and I can’t take it
(More like you, less like me)
Wanna be somebody else, then I can make it

Trophy Eyes released More Like You on Tue Jul 24 2018.
The band said the following on Twitter:
This song is about hating yourself so much, that your only wish in life is to be anybody else but you. Not for monetary gain, not to change your physical appearance or better your lifestyle. Simply because you can’t bare to wake up as you anymore.
