---I think this song is him thinking back on his life.
---When he was young he had a lot of run in's with the police and was arrested several times.
"What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you'd been better
Off if you'd just told the truth"
---He's asking himself this.
"Never had a problem till I stood face to face with me
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
All the faces of the people who have torn a piece of me
As I grew from a seed to a tree."
--This is also his conflict with himself (as interpreted from the first line)
And he's also thinking of all the people who he has conflicted with as he was growing up (from a seed to a tree)
---Well, that's what I get from the first half of the song. I hope other people can see what I'm getting at.
