this song confused me when i first heard it...i have an idea (albeit a longshot of an idea) as to what it's about...i think it could be about a kid who is incredibly misunderstood and seen as the rest of the world as "disturbed"...and either he did something really bad or wants to...kinda like the whole columbine thing...and the parents understand that they need to deal with it but they're afraid of him, because he is seen to be disturbed or psychotic or something...but on a broader scale the song could be just about kids in general, and how today they are seen as freaks and disturbed by their parents when they just want to be left alone, and their parents yell at them for "being bad" even though they are afraid of their own children, and the kids are confused and hurt by their parents being afraid of them when in their mind there's no reason for that...i think this is the message ptw was trying to get across but maybe just by using an extreme example?
