Verse 1: All he wants is to be left alone, he keeps saying it, but no one is getting it. Verse 2: He's finally got some quiet time alone, but "the clouds bring in the rain" and something disrupts him. Verse 3: There is so much pressure on him put on by other people who look up to him, and he doesn't understand why he'd know anything different or more enlightening than them. Verse 5: Drugs help him escape the pressure.
