I was puzzling that chorus for that reason, glad I'm not alone it thinking/knowing it's wrong. But this song is awesome, and Chevelle needs all the press they can get, so it's ALL good. As for the meaning of the song, I think it's about school, not just childhood. Think about it for a second, all the pressures of being singled out by the other kids for being short, fat, a rebel, a skater, a minority, a Catholic, a Satanist, a Wiccan, an anything that's not a white kid of Anglo-Saxon descent about 5'8 or taller with perfect teeth. Classificiations that single people out are evil becuase they piss people off. And that's where "The Red ... filters through." My take on this song is simple.
