Season of the Shark Lyrics

Do you need someone to hide behind?
I don't mind, I don't mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind?
That's alright, that's alright

Sure I know it's hard
I know that it's that way for everyone
For everyone
Some things go wrong
You sink so low you...

    Probably me own imposed meaning, but I think this song is from the point of view of a parent wanting to help their child go through a major change in life, becoming an adult and feeling the weight of the world, perhaps being lonely going off to school, or going through a break-up, or maybe even suffering from depression. It could be the most beautiful song I have ever heard, there are times I can't stop listening to it all day.
