Dyed in the wool, you've beencornered by a natural desire.You wanna hop along with the giddy throng through life.But how do you learn to steerwhen you're grinding all your gears?

If I'm ever feeling down about anything I always listen to this, just to say, "Hey, it's only life".

Its all t do with autism you build monsters in your mind lock them in rooms but they become real and find you get pissed you locked them up so they drag you into every puddle and over every rock they find to you say ok you win the wee boy is the soul the child within who let the monsters out of the rooms so he could see the monsters have there fun the fireworks are stars to light your way home to bed by the way i have autism

I think, the monsters used to show adult life problems, and they drag singer far from his carefree childhood. Glimpse, that monster gave at kid, meant: "We'll get u, when u grow up"

Not many children have the good fortune to experience solitude in a safe place outside. Housebound society drags us all down deep.
