I think it's obvious that this song is about school-related angst and low self-esteem. While it's a topic beaten to death in half assed songs by shitty bands, this particular song is an exception. Everything about it, lyrically and technically, is unique and inventive.

Am I alone in thinking that "What is Gold?/silver bullets" is a reference to school shootings?
