I totally agree, it definitely reminds me of a nursing home.
It makes me think of the classic scenario with elderly people where they want to 'go back home' (perhaps after an accident or health problem of some sort) but because of the 'weakness' that they have, they can no longer look after themselves, and so its off to the nursing home with them.
Especially if the line is "It's bad enough you're here
And it's worse that you've come ALONE" as opposed to 'along' because it makes me think that its bad enough to be in a nursing home but even worse...

I love how TPC have approached such a mature subject. They've grasped the essence of being elderly so well, how degrading it must be for (perhaps an architect?) a responsible, adult person to be treated like a child, which is essentially what awaits us once we're too weak to look after ourselves...
fantastic song! i've always thought it was about a retirement home/hospital? especially with: Now that you're all grown up I know a shortcut back
TPC are amazing!
