This song makes alot more sense now than it did when I heard it over 15 years ago. It is him coming out, plain and simple. It is just so well written, and even as a straight person, I can really appreciate it. It is very autobiographical if you really listen to it.
@lizzie_april I'm hoping that it makes even more sense to you, now that another 9 years have passed. This song has nothing to do with him coming out. This song was 100% about breaking free from his label and the image associated with him through his Faith days. Labels treat you like a slave, owning you and not allowing you to be who you want to be. Other than the line, "There's something deep inside of me - There's someone I forgot to be..." there is nothing in this song that points to his inner secret dealing with his sexuality....

And that line simply deals with forgetting to be himself in all of the chaos of being a label artist.
