Hey guys, I've done a bit of searching and this being one of my favourite songs, I found out why it was written and why it was rarely performed live. So here it is.
The bass player Erik Chandler had a tough time at high school, dealing with bullying, his father was the principal and wouldn't do anything to help incase it showed favouritism, so had to fight for himself, but he couldn't really cope. He started self harming and attempted suicide. When the band formed and they found out, they realised that a lot of people probably go through that and they wanted to show them that they weren't alone, and that they're more amazing than they realise.
The song is rarely performed live, acoustically, because Erik used to find it a hard song to get through without crying.
