Correction: Did you like me at the Popsicle stand?
I love this song. To me, he's singing to the people who love him about the way he's kept himself numb so he couldn't feel anything, and he's been stuck in a passive, powerless state of being. He was preserved in amber at a certain level of being after a traumatic event, or maybe by addictions, maybe because of fear...but whatever it was, he did it to himself. And he's wondering whether the people he loves will still love him when he breaks out and comes back to life--and whether he'll still love himself.
