Cover art for Alan's on Fire (Poison Idea cover) lyrics by Machine Head

I think it's about living with abuse for your entire life, but then finding your time to shine, your time of success, and happiness and true freedom, even if that means destroying some of yourself, only to have your abuser/oppressor see. Like wanting them so badly to see how you've become more powerful than them, at any cost.
