A male friend of mine (who was abused as a child) felt very connected to this song. I believe the abuse (several types and quite severe) stripped away not only his connectedness to himself, but also makes it difficult for him in the outside world. He logically and socially understands what it means to be a man in our society and in our time period, but is unable to find a way to be that. I think of him whenever I hear this song. This song breaks my heart.
