I love this song. I got a bit of meaning from it when I went to my friends' high school graduation last night. Having graduated a few years back myself, I could both see them through my own experience and through the eyes of parents, teachers, and guardians. As I watched them, realizing it may be the last time I'll ever see them all together, I wondered if I'd done all I could to ensure their "deliverance from everything they should not do" even though life is "so unpredictable," and knowing the ones I was there for will be scattered in different states next year, I have done all that I can. Try it in this light. It gives the song much more meaning than thinking it's about him being gay.
