I read a book by someone who has multiple personality disorder. She decided it wasn't a disorder because it helped her survive. There's now a TV show called Shattered which picks up that theme. This song is really about surviving.
Its time to live a double life
And hide the man that's torn in two
The man who's still in love with you
I dread the night
I've lost the fight
Its time to head into the wind
And brace myself against the chill
To steal my mind, my heart and will
Recall my heart
And play the part
When I've reinvented me
I'll let you know my name
Whatever I may choose to be
Won't know the hurt or feel the pain
Whatever path may lie ahead
I have to face it on my own
The path I walk I'll walk alone
Though dreams may die
These eyes won't cry
The heart that hurts will hide away
And find its rest in dreamless sleep
With secrets of its own to keep
There's just one key
Can set it free
When I've reinvented me
I'll let you know my name
Whatever I may choose to be
Won't know the hurt or feel the pain
Its time to find a better way
That doesn't haunt me night and day
