Name - Goo Goo Dolls

This was the Goo Goo Dolls' first hit.
It is one of my current "all time favorite songs"
Many people have various interpretations of what the real meaning of this song is and why John Rzeznik wrote it.
To me it means the following:
It is about someone that has lost themselves somewhere along the lines.
Perhaps it reflects my current view on "celebrities" in our country.
In "Name", the line "did you get to be a star" stands out to me especially because i feel many people loose their own identity by trying to be the figment of someone else's imagination.
