I almost wonder if this has more meaning than simply a song from Toad's point of view; John was raised in a house with an abusive stepfather, and I wonder if it could be about young John stoically and quietly playing Super Mario Bros in his room as he heard his mother being yelled at or possibly even beaten, and he wonders if the night has finally come that the stepfather will kill her or come in and kill him too. "When you came in / I could breathe again." is the alleviation of that fear.
Damn that would be scary. Nothing like Super Mario brothers. You're not as crazy as the step father are you? Your imagination is wild my friend and a tad scary. You might be reading to much into it, hope so for your sake:)
