The song really rings true for me. My Mom is over protective, always wanting me to be safe and never give into bad influences - but in order to break away, I tried to run away from home. Her overprotective nature forced me to run because I couldn't take it any more. My Dad, I'd seriously hate becoming like he is - I'm his best friend and the only guy really there for him. He told me once how he looks back on his life and hates giving up on his dreams and how he just went with the flow. It's seriously wore him down and I can see it. I can't become like them. I can't and I won't. That's why the song really rings true for me.
