This song has been a staple of my live shows for years. It’s about the restrictions of language, a common theme in my songs.
I always liked the self-referential aspect, as in, “Why do they always have to play this song every time I feel this way.” It’s as if the performer doesn’t have control over the song itself, which is kind of true, to a certain extent. Sometimes the pop song format forces you into articulating things in a way that can seem unnatural. It can be used as a device, too. Of course, the audience has to play along and suspend disbelief in order for it to work, as is often the case.
