| Yeah, the masked magician is right. More than that though, it is about how much of an effect over masculinity has on young boys--it really screws them up for life, makes them unable to express emotion, as if that makes a boy a "man". The only line I don't understand is the one about Tarot...what does that have to do with the song...? | |
