Im kinda seeing this as referencing the secret lives people have.
The chorus is comparing their descretion & suffering.- this could either be their suffering for having to hide, or someone elses when they find out.
OR(and i could be reaching..) talking about under-exposing/sheltering kids when they are young. The descretion, as in using it around these kids, leads to suffering when they find things out later. it comes as a surprise, and tons of these kids stray from how they were raised once they discover the world thier parents have been hiding from them.
-this could be in part due to the fact that i lived in utah till i was about 14, and they have extremely strict morman families who completely close their children off from anything they see as bad. i mean television blocking, internet blocking, buying edited movies, no video games, no public school.. its bad.
BUT, i knew a lot of these kids that later, high/junior high age that kinda just lost it when that bubble their parents had over them bursts.. its wierd.
