This song is about not succumbing to the pressure that society puts upon young adults to go to university. Instead, these lyrics advocate following your dreams, showing that this 'accepted path' is not for everyone ("If your education brings you home / Why are you still away?")I also take the "no more room to breathe" as feeling suffocated by the weight of society's expectations
It was written when TFT was starting out as a serious band, and were obviously being looked down upon by some for ditching a formal education and become a full-time touring band.
