This song, to me, signals a change in the themes within BNL's music. Most BNL songs seem to centre around a character who appears to have surrendered control of his life to the forces of determinism (the ironic message embedded in the lyrics being that we DO have control over what happens in our lives, and that change IS possible). This is the only BNL song I can think of where the central character actually sticks up for himself and exercises control over his life (although not until the end; he allows himself to be manipulated in the earlier parts of the song).
