This song really reveals the hypocrisy of psychiatric treatment in our society. It shows how society doesn't want to feel it hurt you overtly for being mentally ill, but is more then willing to make you a vegetable and minimize the hassle of dealing with you. Daniel's voice cries out for many forgotten souls languishing in their cages; like monkeys in a zoo.
