my interpretation of this song will sound pretty weird at first but just hear me out - all the stuff said throughout the song (put you in a jar, give you breathing holes, cover you with grass and you will seem happy, etc etc) seems to referr to what little kids do when they catch a bug from outdoors and put it in a jar in their house. following me so far? and so the bug, i guess, is relatively "safe" inside this jar, safer than it would be if it were outside. so if bugs were to have feelings and stuff, the bug would be thinking that it is safe and will be happy in this jar. but in reality, there is only so much you can do in a jar with some grass in it. so i think that this song is saying if you let people shut you up, or you shut your self up into your own little "jar" so to speak, youll think you are happy but in reality you are missing what life is really about.. does that make sense? it might sound crazy, but i can see it more than the abusive relationship theory (not saying that one is wrong) i cant quite tie in the part about the laundry room, though
Your almost completely right. This song is using a bug being put in a jar as a metaphor to a bad relationship. They're given just enough to live but they're being controlled and even though they 'think they're happy', they aren't really living a full life.
