Well, my first thought was something about a child who had been abused, had a horrible childhood, etc, and is finally getting out. I don't know, seems too simplistic, especially for Simon lyrics. So I'm not sure, something about betrayal... If it had been an older song, I would have maybe thought it was inspired by the way the band fell apart, members leaving, etc, and how he felt abandoned, but determined to go on ("Now, I know this shattered feeling / Trampled but still breathing")
