Does Everyone Stare?

All these open spaces 
They give me no cover now
I stand out here
reflecting all your fears off my odd surfaces
And those friendly faces 

They just disappear somehow
Behind the glass
The dirty window curtains and shades coming down

Believe it or not, those words were written from the perspective of a sentient ball of raw ground meat. Perhaps you are familiar with the animated TV series Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Perhaps not. I don't know much about the show myself, but its band of protagonists consists of a milkshake, a box of french fries, and the aforementioned "Meatwad." I also don't really know what Meatwad's deal is, but he seems like a pretty neurotic and insecure dude.
