This song is played often as an opener because it so poignantly captures the feeling of naked vulnerability that can turn into terror and then delight that one gets through the course of that anxiety-filled and transformative first set. Everyone brings their baggage to the show and some just want to pull down the blinds and run for cover because they can't hide their [secrets/secret self] anymore. There is also a feeling of urgency for those who just want their ego be executed and be done with it so they can build a new one and keep on living:
let's get this show on the road...
I'm breathing hard, open the door...
best example -IT 1st night opener - god you could have cut the tension with a knife, my friend
