Cover art for May 16th lyrics by Lagwagon

good question adrenalinegrl. i like the name though, May 16 is the birthday actually. This was my first lagwagon song, obviously the title caught my eye.

BUT, What does this song mean ?

I think it's about breaking out and becoming your own person. i guess this is to someone who's lived off of someone else or in his shadow. what does everyone else think?
