yeah man this song PROVES Candlebox was an original band and not a grunge knockoff. proper heavy metal in their own brand of grunge.
i think this is about a breakup, and someone who's life has changed for the better because of it. The relationship was trivial, all about the "common complications" of everyday life and the trivialities of relationships.
now that he's out of the relationship he's free to ponder greater things. like fate, and how you make choices in your life even though it's all been written... and that change is inevitable. he considers the dreams they had of their future together, but it wasn't "meant to be", and perhaps this shows you can't control fate, and they were fated to change from the beginning.
i love that short fill in the breakdown just after the the first "you run along now"... just fills me with anticipation of the fantastic solo...
