I really like this song. It captures this defiant, slightly bitter feeling perfectly, without depressing the listener.
I heard somone once tell me it was written from the perspective of a gay man, dealing with the rejection that comes with his alternative lifestyle. It makes alot of sense, and it's an interesting theory.
My impression was that it just speaks to most everyone. Everyone feels at one point or another that they were given a raw deal, dealt bad cards. Everyone wants to curse it all at one point or another. The last line is very uplifting, and the melody and the strong rythm section give it a posotive, motivational feel.
@itsALLprogramMUSIC There is no way you and I hear the same song? Gay man? NOT depressing? Great song for after a bad day? Uh, yeah, to maybe tip you over the edge off of a cliff, it's great. This song is like repeated kicks in the head to a person who does not deserve it.

Musically, it's catchy and all-too memorable. But the message is that life is nothing but pain, ending only with the sweet homecoming of suicide. not uplifting at all, unless you believe in "heaven", which if more people really did, would make the world a huge morgue.
No comments? Wow.
