Lyric discussion by Puckers2811 

I think this song is speaking about how teens in secondary school often feel pressured to like and do the same things as everyone else, as if they don't they wont be branded 'cool'. This song relates to me because i'm not one of the 'cool kids', and i'm not invited to all the 'cool' parties etc. It's such a brilliant song!

@Puckers2811 I very much agreed, when Rush explains the lyric in "basement bars" the legal drinking age is 19 in the Ontario Providence so those who were under the drinking age were feeling they were uncool to those who were able to drink and they were not invited to the big parties and other social gatherings.
