| I just love this song. To me, it always just means how I'm at school, and i'm like this prisoner with all these phonies who think i'm just a quiet girl, but I'm not, and I've never really felt free or myself at school, so I feel like, "hey, take me home." | |

| Christina78, I hope you still check up on the site b/c Phil is one of my favorites and he explained this song on Storytellers years ago. It's about a person in an insane asylum - There's no point escaping, I don't worry anymore...I've been a prisoner all my life... They don't think that I listen, Oh but I know who they are... He said it was kinda dark when he began talking about it. I think that's pretty much all he said. But the song is still great after all these years! | |

| An insane asylum? That's very sad and a great shame. I always thought it was about shy people, and in some ways I still apply the song to myself today, even seven years out of high school. However, if you watch the video you can see that an originally dark theme has evolved into something much more for most people. | |
