    This song is unique. It's actually symbolic, and it talks about multiple parts of a person's personality, how they infulence us to make the false decisions, to make us look awkward, and so on. In the end, this continual indecision and preassure from our own selves results in a monotonous life, until we become angry enough and we can't keep up like this, at which point we evolve, change and start anew.

    I think it's about our need to be individuals, because in a world where other people are constantly influencing our actions, we want to be our own person. We don't want to be just one of thirty other people in an office or such, or just a "relevant" gear in a vast corporate machine, we want to be a single, respective entity, and I think this is about breaking out of that mob mentality we put ourselves in and trying to live our own lives.
