this song is played during the credits of the film 'kids'. it means so much to me...i could give an interpretation of every line of this song. it just totally sums up youth, apathy, drugs, sex, growing up too soon.
Freedom is the lie we live (you may think you are free, but you are only doing what your friends, the media and popular culture tells you is cool)
All these empty urges must be satisfied (sex, drugs, they're so empty but i still do them)
Could it be way over my head?
Helpless to describe it (we are beyond what we can handle, we see so much but are powerless to articulate it)
Cut before it's grown (we do not have a chance to grow up- also refers to the HIV+ status of teenagers in the film 'kids')
Lies so forced in bored control (we say that we like drugs and sex, but its really because we're bored of life- these things control and sedate us)
