To me, this song is about how denial can isolate us from others, and eventually from ourselves. It's about how we sometimes are so determined to ignore the truth-- even though we know that we are wrong-- that we pretend that whatever the issue at question is doesn't exist. This causes us to put up a wall between ourselves and others, who most likely feel the same way, and then we lose part of ourselves. Ultimately, this song is reassurance that if we own up to the problem, then we will be surprised to learn that others relate and that it's okay.
