I'm surprised no one has brought religion into this.
As a former Christian turned atheist, these lyrics speak to me. Whether or not this was the intended meaning, this is exactly the way I felt when I de-converted. I wanted to go back to "believing in everything and knowing nothing at all". And "trapped in the eyes of a stranger"... growing up I never would have imagined being an atheist, it was becoming something totally foreign to all of my previous life experience. However believing in God just goes against all my reasoning, and now that I've already done this process I can't go back to blissful ignorance. There was healing afterwards but this song definitely captured what it felt like for me at the time.
Sir/Ma'am, you have no idea how much every word in your comment rings true to my life. That "Field of Innocence" that we used to live in is gone forever. There's almost a longing to go back to it and yet I still don't want it again.
