this song is really nice but for some reason i prefer the acoustic version. the same goes with collect call. it sounds waaaaay better acoustic.

this song seems like encouragement. even though they(authority figures) tell you that you should stop dreaming. dont. "go higher than high" shoot for your dreams "lower than deep" even if it means you have to get a little dirty or take risks. "im higher than high" i did it and now im happy.

Authority figures eh? Well that's pretty retarded from my point of view:

Until I started tenaciously pursuing my dreams, I had been a miserable depressed pseudo-suicidal wreck chasing after mediocre careers, cars and curls... without any happiness at all. I have all kinds of baggage that contributed to all that, but working on my dreams abated me of all of that (surprisingly). Never been more sure of what I'm doing and where I'm going.

Most importantly, I'm shocked and amazed with what I'm learning now along the way.

So when authority figures tell you not to dream, from my vantage...

Actually, I have a different opinion on the "daemons". "I've seen all the daemons that you've got" in context is about understanding that "there's no glitter in the gutter" but you can still go "higher then high". It's about accepting and facing those daemons: your reality of real gutters, but not letting yourself fall into the gutters and into the grasp of the daemons, but instead reaching "higher then high".
