"It's about child abuse, but not necessarily sexual abuse. It could be pyhsical or mental. When I sang the lyric it was just completely off the top of my head, and we never changed it. It just kind of stayed there because it captured a real atmosphere -- very sinister an creepy. It came to be about a young person very desperate to get out of a family environment situation for whatever reasons. It's a song that people can interpret in a hundred different ways."
And I think that's really what you can hear in the song. The pain, the feeling to stick in a strange situation, not to be able to go on...to desperate...everything that is completely out of time...that's my opinion.
