Overall, if you don't want the lyrics to have any real significance this isn't a bad song. It would have been better if it had actually meant something socially. You're immediately drawn in from the first sentence. The well established dark mood sets the listener up for something that might be lurking in this girl's personal life. You want to hear that maybe she is abused or bewitched or something - but no. The chorus contradicts the verse and at the end you come away with nothing. It's disappointing actually. Another toss-off by Paul.
This song does mean something socially! lt describes selective mutism perfectly. And why do you think the song contradicts itself?? The key problem with SM is "failure of speech in certain situations". This basically means that she acts one way in school, and another way at home. And btw, a person can have this without being abused, bullied etc. Nice work, Paul!
