Song Analysis: "Everything is Not What It Seems" By Selena Gomez, Theme Song for Wizard's of Waverly Place

So, I already know that I posted the song on here for people to listen to and basically tell people to listen to this song. It’s an absolutely genius piece of music, cause it literally explains this reality to a T.

So, what I’m going to do is analyze the song, and give you my interpretation of it. What’s yours? Or are you fine with the way things are?

Here we go:

[Full Version:]

Everything…is not…what it seems
(Pretty self-explanatory)

Well, you know everything’s gonna be a breeze
(Haha…this sentence should be changed to “Well, you “think” everything’s gonna be a breeze)
When the end will no doubt justify the means
(Not all the time….)
You can fix any problem with the slightest of ease
(You actually can…huemans just like to overcomplicate things all the time)

Yes, please

But you might find out it’ll go to your head
(Ego…one of huemanity’s biggest enemies….)
When you write a report on a book you never read
(You can figure out most things through your Akash)
With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
(Anything is possible. Telepathy is real.)

That’s what I said

First Chorus:
Everything is not what it seems
(Absolutely!)
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
(You can have anything you want…even though most people won’t tell you that)
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
(Kind of hard to not go to an extreme when you live on a highly unbalanced planet)
Because everything is not what it seems
(Yup!)

There’s always a lotta people that you need to see
(You don’t “need” to see anyone….)
But you gotta quick way
(no comment on this line)
To get from A to B
(Yup thanks to the scam of time)
Just be careful of who’s aware of your reality
(Yup…gotta be very careful of the friends and choices you make. The more aware you are, the more this Matrix hates you.)

You know what I mean!
(All too well…)

There’s a whole other world that you only know
(Well, think you know anyways…)
You can make yourself invisible from head to toe
(Yup!)
But understand, it’s not the status quo
(And why should I care about a status quo? This life is temporary, I’m not here to win some consolation prize. While everyone else is walking around trying to chase the next best thing, I’m preparing to get off this rock.)

Oh

Careful what you show!
(Show but never tell too much)

Full Chorus:
Everything is not what it seems
(Yup!)
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
(You can have anything you want)
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
(Again, not completely our fault. Too much of an imbalance going on on this planet right now.)
Because everything is not what it seems
(Yup)
Everything is not what it seems
(Yup)
When you can have what you want
(Or the illusion of what it is you want)
By the simplest of means
(You could…or you can choose the harder route….)
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
(Too late for that one)
Because everything is not what it seems
(Yup!)

Oh
Ohh, Oh
Ohh, Oh
Oh

Oh
Ohh, oh
Ohh, oh
Oh

Uh, oh!
Things are getting kind of tricky
(Yeaaaaaaaaaaah….better not to mess with Karma)
But it doesn’t mean much to a girl like me
(Right…)
'Cause I can do the things that you’ll never believe
(Like me? I can do many things most people don’t believe)
Even in your wildest dreams
(Yup)

Well, Excuse me
(Yes?)
I know it’s strange, but true
(Many things on this plane are strange but true)
in my opinion, from my point of view
(Not that it matters…)
But once in a blue moon, I don’t know what to do
(Same could be said about anyone)
If they can catch me to it
(If they want to….lol)

Everything is not what it seems
(Mmmhmmmm)
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
(Again, anything you want you can have)
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
(Well here on Earth people don’t know how to not go to extremes, but same could be said about a lot of things here)
Because everything is not what it seems
(Yes)
Everything is not what it seems
(Yup)
When you can have what you want
(Anything you want)
By the simplest of means
(It’s simpler than people realize)
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
(Balance has been messed with….sorry…all we can do is hope to restore it)
Because everything is not what it seems
(Yup)

Everything is not what it seems
(Yup)
When you can have what you want
(Anything you want you can give yourself).
By the simplest of means
(It really is simple. Nothing really to it)
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things because
(Yeah, don’t be like the other huemans on here who love to mess with the balance lol.
Everything is not…
(Yup)

What it seems
(Amen!)

Just my 2 cents. Have a great fake day :grin:

Peace to all,

So true, Jacob, nice song.

John 8:12

“I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will have the light of life.”

Here rationally, 13.8 billion years ago, light energy flashed out light mass becoming space and time, OMNiLogically.

Just as a movie screen remains unaffected by the fires or floods depicted in a film, the Spirit remains “the same, unchanging presence” regardless of the experiences of the flesh in the soul becoming again One Family in all.

Peace always,

Stephen
