Tilly and the Wall – Coughing Colors Lyrics 19 years ago
it feels like the ultimate tragedy to me. someone so idealistic, intelligent, wild, and zealous getting pushed down by social lines.

"and when the floods they come all rushing in
and the boat is full and you can't get in
oh, it's okay if you don't want to swim
and when you're swallowed up, oh, don't you cry
just give right in, don't try to fight
'cause baby i wouldn't pay no mind
there's nothing you can do"

i personally see this as her talking about why she has to leave, to where, its up to the listener. she chooses freedom of the mind over living an un-full under what is socially accepted.
