This song to me means that Ant has finally realized that he's come to terms with not being like everyone else...that he's okay with being and saying things controversial - comfortable in his own skin...and he's learned over time that you can say things others don't like as long as you "learned where to stand and where to tread lightly" He's also saying maybe that he's tired of being scoffed at and that it's about time someone listens to his rants besides I & I...and he can get further by taking a deep breath and calming himself down when he gets pissed at things he doesn't like...and if he can just keep this up, he'll be fine but if not the bottom will drop out from under and he'll end up in a nut house in a padded room. Regardless of what you take from the lyrics, they're brilliant and meaningful which pretty much sums up every song I've ever heard Bayside do...awesome stuff.
