This song has alot of sentimental value to me, because I see it as in a domestic violence situation (like wiseaimee said) and thats the type of place I grew up in. His mother's with a bad guy (dad? boyfriend?) and theres alot of hate from him to her, and his mom is scared to death and she wants to leave, but theres nowhere for her to go. So she had to go back and stay there with the guy. Then at the end Mark is questioning why this is allowed to go on, because all it does is f*ck up the lives of innocent kids in the situation(in the song he references to himself as being in a world of shit), but you have to turn your back on it as that kid, because theres nothing you can do. I almost always cry when listening to this song, as pathetic as that may seem..
