Is he stroking his ego with that line, or ripping on all the fans who think mjk is a god?

When taken in context to the rest of the song this burden is proven to be a fitful and cumbersome thing.
Maybe it's a reference to the 2012 thing?

Live, the singer pointed at himself while singing those lines.

Which part of himself was he pointing at?
His mask/persona (Maynard) His true self (Jimmy)?
?

Is his personality fragmented or overlapping?
?
Which is preferable?
?

the second.
if RS is about him in some way , it may be a reference to everyone regarding his lyrics as the gospel , looking to them for meaning to life itself , knowing that in this age (its unfortunate) but musicians and artists influence the majority much more than statistics, facts or benevolent politicians [sic] do.

whether its maynard or his alter-ego/persona it doesn’t matter , its the voice you hear when you listen to the CD or experience them in concert that spreads the message(s) , so in turn its irrelevant.



and as for the 2012 thing , please, please, forget about it.

I was sick and running a lowgrade fever.
Honestly, anything I posted this weekend should be put under the context of: SICK DON'T TAKE SERIOUSLY.
