Personally, i think this song is about missy higgins' sexuality.I mean really every knows by now that she's either bi sexual or a lesbian. "Written on her head was failure to conform." She failed to conform to being a straight girl. "I'm just another girl who wants to know, just where you think it's written down this way that we should go." She want's to know why her sexuality isn't really accepted in society and where it's written down that being straight is the right way to go. "She knew her one chance of living on was to strip away all the colours that were casting her astray." the only way she can survive in this world is to pretend that she's straight. "So with a fever of 43 she surrendered there, ready for the world to take her as their own, but as she lay there the people stared as they carried on, feeling terrified of her stripped to the bone." they'd stripped her bare of all her beliefs and she was ready to take on the world with the beliefs accepted by society, but she was stripped down to the bone because she was no longer protected by her own beliefs. People still didn't accept her and just kept walking past. That's my opinion on the whole song, sorry if you don't agree or if it confused you :P
See ya 'round
