And in the song, I'm saying that I won't be a part of that.
The words "staring at the sun" are kind of a metaphor, or an analogy, for people that are being self-destructive, or compromising themselves. And I remember that a lot of kids wanted to fit in so badly, that they compromised who they were a little bit in order to be a part of one of these groups. I didn't want to just be one of the athletes, or one of the stoners, or one of the popular kids, or whatever. In fact, I hate those words: "fit in." I didn't feel comfortable trying to be a part of any one clique at school. I know that for me, I definitely felt like I didn't "fit in" in school. And believe me, it doesn't just stop once you're grown up, either.
The idea that I was trying to get across in Staring at the Sun is this: I know that one of the toughest things about growing up is trying to figure out who you are, and how you "fit in" to everything. General Commentok this is straight from dexter from :
