The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as ‘Brick’ or ‘Jumbo’, who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his “theme song” had the project been successful. (The lyrics of the rocking section near the end were actually written by Townshend as a prayer when he was a disciple of Meher Baba after being tempted by a groupie, and incorporated into the song when it was written. ) In the incarnation of Lifehouse that was officially released as a part of Pete Townshend’s solo box set, The Lifehouse Chronicles the song’s meaning changes to the theme song of the story’s protagonist, Ray.
