In the Greatest Hits album, Steven Page talks about all the songs. For this song, he said it's about a perfectionist who realizes it's good to fail:
"We wanted to write a song about a perfectionist who discovers the joy in failing – how he’s got to learn to fall before he learns to fly, and how that fall makes him feel a freedom he’s never felt before. I guess that’s why we removed these lyrics that Ed had improvised; “Anyone itchy must be chafing/anything chafing must be red/anything red must be important/anyone important’s already dead.” But far from failing, check out how Tyler and Kevin are playing their asses off."
