I disagree with comments suggesting the song lyrics are pointless / aren't deep. For me the song has also had a pretty obvisious meaning but this is just my interpretation. I interprete Jane as being a really close much loved friend, or maybe even a sibling, who is going through some heavy troubeled times, likely experiancing depression, she doesn't want to face every day life and has spent a lot of time being reclusive/sleeping the days away. Her friends/family want to help but don't really know how, its her birthday though and they want to make her forget all her problems and worries just for the day and be happy again. Pretty meaningful theme for me anyway.

Anyone who has seen the enemy live knows this song is one of the highlights of the set, a huge crowd singalong that pours emotion.
