"What a Scene"
-Goo Goo Dolls

When you're feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again
How does it feel
When you drop down everything's all the same
Oh yeah
Saccharine caffeine nicotine gum
Yeah it tastes sweet but it's not for long
And I just think you thought it would be
When you're looking for truth on the cover of a magazine
How does it feel
When you find out what you're not gonna be
Oh yeah
They give you your image and the things you believe
Open your eyes tell me what did you see
And I just think you thought it surreal
How does it feel when you're out on your own
And now it's too late to come home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone
Now you're a supermarket punk rock television comedy
Out on the scene
Yeah I bit down now there's no hand to feed
Oh yeah
And all the beautiful images lining your walls
Pop radio screaming down the halls
Now you think you found something real
When it's all about money and the things that you need
Live a big lie and they all believe
Now I just find that somehow obscene
How does it feel when to be out on your own
And now it's too late to come home
And it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy till you make it alone
What a sceneYeah
It's all been said before
And all been done
Take it easy till you make it alone
Take it easy til you make it alone
Lies weigh more than truth
Innocence looks good on you
Now everybody wants to know your name
Na na na....

"What a Scene" by the Goo Goo Dolls has a societ message. It is about the everyday people that relie on "Saccharine caffeine nicotine gum" for a soothing feeling. Also, it talks about the average person who looks at a magazine and seeing stick skinny people and how we wish to look like them, but we wont. We all look at magazines to find truth and what we want to see. Also, the song is about how most people do what their told for a name, they do not make it on their own. We all hope that someone will tell us how to make it in life, never mind finding it on our own. When people become well known, or famous, they think that it is all real. Then these people focus on money and what they need. They lie and do what it takes to get to the top or stay there. People lie to make it far and then everyone wants to know who they are because of who they made themselves become due to the lies and everything else. This song is about love because he is singing or writing it to the one he loves.
