Crash Test Dummies – Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Lyrics 13 years ago
I think it's a commentary to physical vs. emotional "trials". The first boys experienced an event that injured him and left him physically changed, the girl had extensive natural blemishes. Exactly as the lyrics say, neither knew why, they just knew they were different, but none the less had these circles of people around them. However, they were still better off than the kid whose parents mentally brainwashed him...who was not allowed to socialize, was not allowed to go out, and was obviously being raised in some cultish church that he didn't know what any of it meant or why...he was simply being blindly raised to be a shut in and follow an idealogy that wasn't being explained, just, "You do it." So that's my take, physical differences can be challenging, but emotional brainwashing and not being you're own person is more damning.
