Cover art for Sensitive lyrics by Field Mice, The

Even though the lyrics are correct here as posted...

By showing you I'm Sensitive You do risk Being crucified Crucified by Those you are unlike

....I'm sure that part is meant to say:

Anyway, I used to think this was a relatively simple song about just being different and literally more sensitive than most people, but ever since I discovered how sinister this world actually is compared to how it was before dark forces took control, I now believe it transcends ages and "that time of no fear before the trouble began" covers a past life or past lives when humanity lived in peace and harmony, so unlike how things are now.

And it always really got to me the way he says "the price that I do pay to appreciate the beauty they're killing, the beauty they're busy killing..." but it's now taken on so much more meaning after realizing just how much this dark world really is all about killing off anything and everything that's good and innocent, and instead encouraging and bringing out the worst tendencies and ugliness in people and things.
