For me, this song is absolutely about unhappy-childhood-situations...
As a young boy, I had intense self-awareness sometimes, and these lyrics articulate it SO Well indeed...!.
I would be amazed if -as the rumours say - this is not about childhood...
'Knowing your attitude's all wrong and you gotta change and that's not easy' = how it feels when you're in a mood, but the parental-world kind of are giving you this message
'Dragon shining with all values known', their powerful world, with the predictable symbols that we already know that ...keeps you from your OWN...
-Where is the lion in mee to DEFY them when I was so spacie and kinda 'weak'
Quite understandably therefore, sense cannot really be talked to me, The peacock is afraid to parade, the pride-ful-Self . Prowess, free confidence is just absent, afraid, through shame, the message from the adults that ho-I-am is not OK...
I could not give joy or love like this...
They open and closed me, they certainly didn't know me though they act like they do!
ANyway, this will always be an articulate poem on my experience...
And 'Twisted' subsequently, is about the crazy, light whimsy of childhood!
But Trouble Child is my fave also on Court + Spark
