Lyric discussion by Kitsune_Tokkan 

I got the meaning of this right away... it's brilliant, really.... He's comparing music in general to life

I'm like a storm cloud eager when to go wild Calm again I ask permission for the wrong to win Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on In a haze, the beginning of your days Going to fall down Got to get back up, but at your own pace Get to fill your cup and find the way Out of your own maze Yeah boy... What you said now!

--Basically when your young your doing you own thing, learning how everything works in life. getting knocked down, and getting up again...--

And hide the rule book throw it in the waste Look strong Like you belong... Cause you do belong Whether right or wrong... You belong

--Teenage years, you don't care about rules, you just belong, wether your right or wrong.--

Cause, I'm on your side... If you fail, at least you tried To keep your aching, celebrating, Wonder making heart alive. . Yeah. And pride... Don't keep it all inside Don't keep your aching, celebrating, Wonder making heart alone... Write your own song.

--if you fail at life, at least your alive, you lived through everything it threw at you. have pride, don't get down, and put it to good use.--

What ever happened to our inner glow? What ever happened to the song, the soul, the me, I used to know? What ever happened to my radio? What ever happened to my song? It is my song.

-- basically, whatever happened to the person I used to be so long ago?--

So here's a preview. shove it under old/new Or call it rock, or pop, or Bach, or fuck... Goddamn! Where did we go wrong? Now there's a category for every song

-- Take this how you like, I think he's saying, hey your you, even though nowadays everyone is thrown into a catagory.. emo, punk, goth, whatever.--

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to Yeah, we only want to fly by the side, making love To the rhythm, be a Jeckyl and a Hyde

Yeah, we only want a field we can run through Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to Yeah, we only want to fly by the side, making love To the rhythm, be a Jeckyl and a Hyde

-- We all want to go along with the crowd and be on everyones side, being a Jeckyl and a Hyde, but you have to write you own song, be your own person. --

Brilliant!

I disagree a bit I think its about being great and then letting other people change you so he asked"whatever happened to our inner glow" and telling people to be your self and no matter what people say theres always someone on your side
