| I'm a HUGE OLP fan... huge... but if I had to pick one song to lsiten to over and over this would probably be the one. It has the soft side, the hard side, great melody and powerful lyrics. God Bless our lady peace. | |

| This song expresses how when we get depressed or when something in life gets us down even the smallest htings suddely annoy us. Like how when you are in a bad mood suddenly everything becomes a huge problem. I think the yoga class for cats is sortof the dumb stupid thing that sticks in your head. But in the end when everything goes back to normal you'll be ok. | |

| the "yoga class for cats" thing... my friend jon and i had a theory that it's really... "yoga class forcasts" but without the 'c'... it made a lot of sense at the time. something about the "you worry about the future" line... let me think about why and i'll get back to you. | |

| Silvas hit the nail on the head. I actually got that blast of personal meaning this morning. A lot of tough stuff's been happening, and this song makes it easier. So thank you Raine and OLP, just for ruling so hard. ^_^ | |

| I feel this song is about how people have many insecurites in life. And that people do not always measure up to there expectations. The song expresses to the listener a meaning that life can be very depressing and they can eithier choose to live it or ignore it.. You're frustrated by the cracks, in the pavement, and every mother's back once again I get from this part that a person failed at something, and in sense ruined the expectations of their mother or father.. But in a sense the mother, because she carried the person over in her womb.... But at the beggining of the song it says, You know you're not a strong man and you're just about to cry... I get from this part that sometimes bad things happen, and we are not always strong enough to face it... So maybe 'we fall through the cracks' and we sometimes feel like grieving. But we take life like a man and continue the journey. you can add your own take on it... Overall though, I think it is a classic Our Lady peace song. | |

| i agree that the song is about the everyday stresses of life. i think the "yoga class for cats" thing could be like an example of the frustrations we deal with everyday. wouldn't you be confused if you saw a sign that said that? | |
