My favorite Extreme song, very heavy music. Didn't listen to the lyrics for years, because the song felt so good and heavy. But my new digital system, and a few years behind me, have allowed me to reconsider many songs and the lyric messages.
This song is pretty humble, not something heavy rock is known for. It speaks of frustration, and disappointment with oneself. Whether it is being unable to handle one's pride, or drinking/drugs, or respecting relationships, or the will to do what is necessary to achieve a goal, it is a question everybody should ask at some point. Admitting that behavior, thinking, work ethic, etc. is not working is a big reality check. I love this song even more for this message.
