I believe this one's about being a rock star. Candlebox had to write and record the "Lucy" album in less than 3 months thanks to demands from their record label. (So if you've ever wondered why the whole CD has that raw, pressured and underproduced feel to it, I think this is the reason). But anyways, lines like the following sum it up: "It's all been overated, this life you live, it's not your own. There's no one here to help you. It's all been un-adulterated lies, they'll keep telling you. They'll keep telling you, how I want to..."

Pretty much Kevin Martin saying that the rock star life is overrated, and you just get controlled by your record label. Another excellent Candlebox song.
