This has always been such an anthem for me. People always see me as this saint that will never walk away or give up on something no matter how much it hurts me(which is true), or in most cases, how poorly someone is treating me. I'm always turning the other cheek and forgiving people no matter how badly they treat me. I came to a point though where I realized that it wasn't worth it.
I remember the first summer I was really having a bad time with a certain friend of mine, who I always happened to see in the summer, so the line about breathing in the summer air and all...it just says that without him, she can finally really enjoy her summer. Her freedom. Gives me flashbacks of driving in Vegas with the windows rolled down.
I also love the spoken bit about how comical it is to think you can enforce your will on humanity and all, because it describes how I view that friend of mine. He always thinks he controls everything, that he is infallible and his will is the law. Well, this song is how I felt when I realized his will was not the law, and that in fact I am so much more than he is by way of a friend that in the end, he's the one who loses out. I've got a lot in my garden now, and he isn't welcome there.

Fuck the naysayers, indeed!
