To the guy in the first post, you don't have to feel guilty about likeing this song because it's not about a man.
It has been said in interview by Amy herself, that this song is about the pressures of the label and the music industry itself.
It's about being SICK of being fed lies and to be told to "hold on, little girl".
It was written about that period of time when the label didn't feel confident engh about Evanescence (Terry and Amy's TOD era) and its work. They rejected the project at first and were kind of skeptycal all along.
This song along with New Way to Bleed were of the first ever written for this album and both deal with the same subject, hence why only one of them made it into the standard record.
ALSO, songs where a band uses the "we" during verses are usually written that way for fans to sing along easily. It's an anthemic resource.
Also here's a little speech amy gave during an Athen show that I think sums up a lot of it:
"Are you sick of being told who to be?!
What do?!
What to fu**ing say?!"
