I have came across a song that can be related to Gatsby and his life. The song is called "Be Yourself" by Audioslave. Gatsby should just act like himself instead of living his life as a fake identity he just made up. He should realise that if he just acts like himself people will actually begin to like him and form relationships with him. Gatsby is just stuck in the past and fails to realise he cannot bring it back.
Audioslave "Be Yourself" Lyrics
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
