This first four five lines sets the scene - a routine domesitic home, a place dominated by someone - possibly a parent.
"The most familiar room every implement was leading to you and your homely sense of disarray never once the same, always rearranged but things would never change"
Perhaps the writer is a dreamer, bored of domesitic and routine "But things would never change." In the next two sections the repetitive style is beating out familiar scenes in a dreamy, bored sequence. Bored of the place and with the bird, the Jackal representing free spirits those who are free or simply others who want to be young and free. Typical of most adolescent parent relationships. The writer is reminiscing on this feeling and emphasizes the cycle of his free to get out and leave the comfort of his home for fear of the unknown.
"And when I got older, when I grew bolder out onto the streets I flew
Released from your shackles I danced with the jackals."
Before the writer concludes he iterates that he appreciates the support he was given, that he could use them to test out his ideas and experiments. Discuss his fears while they listened and he offered very little in return.
"So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears..."
Although he is thankful the writer will continue in this direction, the life of a dreamer makes him happy. That is the writers choice, that is his dream in life and he glad to have escaped obscurity and routine.
"I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears)
Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
Cos that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you)
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cos that's where the dream goes."
