it is a very deep metaphor, I think it's about being gay and the fear that goes along with it of not being accepted...think about it. Raspberry = fruit , fruit = gay. (No offence to homosexuals)
"always taken in by peers
And friends and the heightened fears
Over the years
Now I know I'm not like everyone" (he's scared cause he's realizing he's gay)
"I can't change
What I am" (many gay people would like to change but they feel as though they can't)
"There are a lot of choices (men...women???)
So many voices ruling me (society)
So many of them at once
Yelling, "Everything's a mess"...I know" (he feels helpless)
this last part is about how society dictates that being str8 is better than being gay...so many voices being society
I think Edwin may be bisexual, in the song "Basketball" on the Dig album he admits to masturbating to a girl across the street in his room, and at the end there are the lyrics "Sold my sex in public places to junked-out fags with yellow eyes"

Edwin was born in 1965. I should know- I went out with him for 10 yrs. -the I Mother Earth years. He quit the band because it wasn't what he got into music for in the 1st place & wanted to be happy making music. He left- Jag & Chris didn't kick him out. He actually beat IME for best video w/ his 1st solo effort with the son. "Hang Ten"-...

Now I wish him only the best & he seems to like being at Tattoo since he's been there for about 10 yrs. Whatever gets you through the night!!"
So, if you go by her words, he lies about his age and is straight, or at least bi. :)
