This song is so important to me. It makes me think of leaving my childhood, the place I grew up and going to university and feeling like I have to try and be all the things I'm expected to be. Not that I've got pushy parents, I mean that I have to be myself and stand up for myself, and that's what my Mum emphasised to me... and it's hard to know how to be yourself whilst being your parent's child at the same time, knowwhutimean? :P
But to me it's also very much about a friend I have who I've fallen out with. The lines
You are a chinashop and I am a bull
You are really good food and I am full
It doesn't mean you don't love someone or appreciate them... you might just need time on your own.
