O.K. here is my explenation of this song.. but i don't know if it's correct english cause i'm from holland=P.. it's a very long text sorry for that=P I hope It'll help you guys understanding this song;)

I think the song is about.. How chad wanted to be like the people who are popular.. but he didn't see that was going to be a nightmare, he saw that when he finally got there..(And now I feel it Feel that I've been there) like the people who are popular.. they are 'perfect', but actually not.. they can't be the people who they are from the inside.. and that's why the are 'worthless' they must pretend to be perfect and I think that is a very hard life to have and a very stupid thing to want.. chad realized that too and that's why he wrote this song

meaning of some lines: ' he'd(=we'd) do it all again..' means that everybody wants to be perfect everybody wants to be loved by everybody..

'seems I knew I would' He knew from the beginning he was going to make a mistake but he didn't realize it at that point

'Here we are again Just face to facing Each other another day Who wins But who cares' He was talking tothat man from the beginning of this song and he knew that man was right .. but it doesn't matter because no one will believe until they've seen it themselves and that means like 'it always ends up the same..'

'Wanna know do you want me to go Gonna keep it all never ending Never stop myself from pretending That you always knew that I never could' He thinks the man which warned him at the beginning wanted him to leave the top of popularity, but the man knew that going away from being popular is like falling down a hundred miles and that is a hard crash.. so the man knew chad couldn't leave the top and that he never will.. but chad will not admit that because then he will fall down..

Chad feels like he has no freedom like he can't breathe..

sorry for this long message but i couldn't say it shorter because i just wanna proove I'm right:P

(and maybe the popular thing you can swich that to fame.. maybe that's more how he experienced it but I think that's almost the same..)
