This song I liked since the first time I heard it on TRL with my cousin dan. To me it expresses my outrage at some of the injustices done to me. Like everytime I want to speak my opinion in an argument and dad shushe's me with a mantra " I dont care" anytime I had a better way of doing something and him not listening and supporting me or showing me the error or flaw's and not even wanting to hear it. To me this song symbolizes how I was a robot and had to follow instructions by the letter. I think that's also why I have a problem taking the initiative and have an insane problem with procrastination. For 16 years all I was told to do was follow instructions. 16 was when I rebelled before I just wasn't very self aware. I was in a coma. The only reason I came out of it was because Dad forced me to get my driver's license so I could do stuff for him. The #1 thing that helped me become more independant was music though. I listend to songs that talked about how I wanted my life to be. That's what has motivated me more then anything else.
