Zelig (song lyrics)

Your eloquence amazes me;
fancy diction.
Structured vocab.

Who are you?

A human chameleon,
you adapt to change,
but you're never the same.

Simple conversation isn't so bad.
You seem the same,
for the most part anyway. But...

Who are you?

A human chameleon,
you adapt to change,
but you're never the same.

I fell in love at first sight,
but was it all a facade?

A facade, a facade.
Too many faces,
too little traces
of a genuine soul.

Who are you?

A human chameleon,
you adapt to change,
but you're never the same.


Talking about a certain someone I used to have a crush on in high school. But this can apply to almost anybody who acts differently in front of different audiences (I would say that everyone does this, including myself). Zelig is the name of a Woody Allen film about a man who is a "human chameleon" and changes physically (and perhaps mentally?) in accord to the people he is around. I never watched it, but I want to.
