The middle verse that starts with "excuse me did you say..." is really good. Of course this song is about child sexual abuse. And basically the girl who went through this doesn't want to talk about what happened, because she doesn't want to re-live it. It follows saying "we'll take man's dirty deeds
and suck them out by cosmic means
into the sun hurl them
where they'll be happy burning" This is him imagining how great it would be if he could take all this pain and the memories from the girl and hurt them to the sun, so she wouldn't suffer. But of course life isn't TV so he can't. He wants to do whatever he hcan for her, love her. He feels refreshed when he watchers he sleep, because maybe she is at peace, away from the trouble. Its a beautiful song, on a terrible subject. I love 311's positive outlook on life. Obviously there isn't much positive coming out of child sexual abuse, but they do show the love we as humans need to show.
