I love the last verse about freedom. To me, it's about escaping the clutches of always having to have an opinion or something to say. "Free to wander. Free to dream or stay. The right to remain silent or the right words to say." Sometimes I just don't want to talk. Deal with it.

Also, killer saxophone throughout the song. Musically, this song is the best on the album.
