that's a good interpretation of those lyrics. in the case i'm specificly speaking of, it is a mother as the governing body. what the song means to me is that after being kicked out of my house, i wanted to remove all contact from myself and my family. i wasn't ready to be out on my own and had no job or money, so if they were ready to put me out on the streets, then they should have been ready to bare the wieght of not knowing if i was safe or healthy or whatnot. that was my way of not "making light of" their "concious decision". but without my knowlage, 2 of my bandmates were speaking with my family letting them know my status and such on a regular basis. that was 2 of my 4 friends (hafway there, 2 down and 2 to go). they acted as the moniters that were positioned by my family to keep track of me.
