One of the most depressing songs on the album... It really speaks to the idea of playing to a society that's degrading all around the people.

Is that what it's about? Thank you. I had no clue. Love the band. I thought that the song may be about getting older...midlife, you know, when people WAKE UP and decide to make positive changes in their lives because they're no longer immature children.
