Lyric discussion by AbsolvedOne 

So just because 'sunshine' is street for drugs, that's what this song MUST be about, right? No one can EVER make a song about sunshine, guys. It will forever be about drugs. Please. And about it being a 'higher place'- so what? That can also mean more than just being high. Stop having such a narrow mind. Go look at the lyrics for Heaven's Not Enough. Same 'higher place' lyrics, but if you argue that one's about drugs, I'd have to say you're on them.

And no, I'm not anti-drug or anti-songs-about-drugs. One of my absolute favorite bands is A Perfect Circle (namely their 13th Step Album, which WAS all about drugs), so don't start that argument.

That said, I don't think it's about being in love with someone ELSE either- that would mean someone ELSE could hurt her- aka the person she is with.

I think her love is from within, a love for and of herself. That's why NO ONE can touch her and NO ONE can break her. She is strong, and this song is a celebration of that fearless strength and control she has over her mind, body, and soul.

Great song and I love it.

its soo not about drugs, its about a girl that want the person that she loves to take her away so they can be together. these lyrics are WRONG. it a hiding place not a higher place. not drugs. were studying lyrics in my class and my teacher said its appropriate- that means no drugs reference, no drinking, not swearing..etc its a happy love song "pocket full of sunshine" means that shes in love. it even saids it "i got live and i know its all mine" isnt clear?
