People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals often adopt characteristics and behaviors from the narratives and music that heavily influence their lives. In particular, those who lack a sense of self or personal identity are more prone to assimilating qualities from the stories and songs that define their environment. Whether consciously or unconsciously, people internalize and embody the themes, values, and attitudes portrayed in these cultural expressions, making them a vital aspect of their own identity formation.
