To me this song is about dealing with past occurrences that come back to haunt us in life. Sometimes I find that I am reminded of certain events from my own past just because of something like the weather, or an image that I'll come across, effects that happen when you have seasonal affective disorder like I do. Having that said, take a look at the lines from the chorus: "Scars of pleasure, scars of pain, atmospheric changes make them sensitive again". That just makes me thing of those instances of nostalgia that often creep up upon us because of whatever environment we're in. Interestingly enough, Neil references the song in the book Ghost Rider. At the beginning of each chapter, he always quotes his own lyrics right under the title, and in a chapter titled "Seasonal Affective Disorder" he quotes this song's chorus. Just an interesting thought.
Regardless of what it means, I love this song. It has such a catchy rhythmic feel to it, coupled with the space provided from Alex's guitars that adds so many layers to it.
