This song, to me, is about someone named Rufus who goes to Hogwartz and the Sorting Hat tells him things he doesn't want to hear. Like maybe that he is a dork, or a jerk, or something. He gets sorted into a house he doesn't like and now his friend is trying to console him by saying "It's not true, Rufus, don't listen to the [sorting] hat!"

My Interpretation

seriously? that is the best thing i have heard.

this town needs guns: a post pop, math rock indie group form oxford, hellbent on spreading the word of Harry Potter.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

you both are fucking retarded

I think that is actually a brilliant allegory to the meaning of this song. It's creative to be that narrative. If this song enforces a meaning of breaking through society's expectations and find the core of being human, why should anyone deter that motive? Don't let your ego control you, that narration is simple beauty. By the way, you all have amazing taste in music. Have you heard Lateralus by Tool?
