Lyric discussion by ELS24 

First of all, what the hell is a hairshirt?? lol

This song completely describes my transition from college to the working world. After graduation and spending so many years in a place that often felt more like home to me than my childhood home ever did scared the heck out of me. I knew though it was time to move on with my life, but like this song says--"Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same"-- Welcome to the new world, take a step into it!

BNL--especially before they got big via "One Week"--rock!!

@ELS24 'Hair shirt' is an idiom:

"if someone wears a hair shirt, they choose to make their life unpleasant by not having or experiencing anything that gives them pleasure" (idioms.thefreedictionary.com/a+hair+shirt)

Makes perfect sense for this wonderful song.
