Top Comments of this video!! :3
I've listened to this song for a while and only recently realized the meaning of the lyrics. How she was born and Asian woman, estranged from her heritage. And being "born as fools" is quite possibly a westernization of the vedic concept of Maya (delusions that divert from reality's objective truth) from Dharma tradition and how everyone is born estranged from the history of their origins. Excellent writing from such a good Rock group.

I was born and raised as an eastern girl in a western world
I was told to choose, to choose to be what I chose to be
Speaking impartially
There doesn't seem to be a place for me
But when I look inside I find a place to run, to hide
I was born to love a distant land and a rising sun
I was born to love this green and pleasant land
Which way should I turn?
'Cos I seem to fall towards burning
But when I look inside I find the place to cry, to fly, to die
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now
Now I see the world as an ancient place, as a smiling face
I can choose to be what I want to be if I choose to be
Speaking impartially
If the smile grows cold without me
I know a secret place to cry, to fly, to die, to try
You know I'm burning in a flame now
Now I see the world as an ancient place, as a smiling face
Now I see the world as a place where I can run to, hide to
Which way should I turn?
'Cos I seem to fall towards burning
But when I look inside I find the place to try, to hide, to fly
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now
You and I, born as fools now
You and I think, think we rule now
And I seem to fall towards burning
