To me this song is mainly about the social context of a person's identity and how life cannot be larger than itself. A topic that regularly pops up in KT Tunstall's songs:
It does not matter who you "Oh underneath I felt the fire of a burning question, tearing me apart", or others "You say I need more than my fair share of attention" think you are. If what you think you are is the center of your universe "Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on to what you know you've got.", you're ready for any challenge you may face ... "Hold on, 'cause the world will turn, if you're ready or not."
