  • For me i interperated it as if you follow what other people expect of you, if you live your life by the standards that people think you should live by then you will always be beneath them you will never rise above them (and be their rival)

    If you share the same dreams as others, you won't be their rival. There's no point in sparring with someone who wants the same things as you.
  • thats right
  • Everybody dreams of peace
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

  • if you try to see the world through other people's eyes, you'll find living a lot less contentious.

    goes with the saying, "try walking a mile in someone else's shoes."
    Jam out with your clam out.

  • Interesting to hear other interpretations. I thought of it in a slightly negative tone I guess, wherein if you have the hopes and dreams of others, you won't have any enemies, but also won't have your own hopes and dreams. Sort of like compromising to please others.
