I absolutely love this song!

Every time I hear it, I think back to anyone that's ever "bullied" me or thought they were better than me, and the realization that one day (hopefully sooner than later) they'll get back exactly what they gave. It's pretty much the "I know you're bullying me because you're insecure with yourself and I'm gonna take the high road" anthem.

"Well that’s something that you’re laughing at me And I hope you know what it is that you’re laughing about"

-You're not really one to talk and do you really know what you're making fun of?

"Cause it wont be long now ’til they’re reeling you in The same situation, the same disappointment you bring"

-These people you're catering to, they're just gonna do the same thing to you that you're doing to me, eventually.

"So I hope you’re happy with the impression you made Deep in denial, like you planned it this way"

-You're trying to impress the "cool" kids, but you're really not and you know you're wrong.

"But you’re lost to me Like dust I have cleared from my eye Your words have no meaning So I stare up into the sky"

-You are nothing but the dust I have cleared from my eye. Nothing you say or do phases me. I choose to ignore your ignorance.

"Breathe in now Breathe out now"

-Enhance your calm John Spartan... goosfraba... goooooosfrabaaaaaa
