What do you think these lyrics mean?

Other than the obvious, what do you think this song is really about? Here are the lyrics (the song is mmm mmm mmm mmm by the Crash Test Dummies):



Once there was this kid who



Got into an accident and couldn't come to school



But when he finally came back



His hair had turned from black into bright white



He said that it was from when



The car had smashed so hard



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm



Once there was this girl who



Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room



But when they finally made her



They saw birthmarks all over her body



She couldn't quite explain it



They'd always just been there



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm



But both girl and boy were glad



'Cause one kid had it worse than that



'Cause then there was this boy whose



Parents made him come directly home right after school



And when they went to their church



They shook and lurched all over the church floor



He couldn't quite explain it



They'd always just gone there



Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm



What do you think these lyrics mean?

it's about child abuse...birth marks are actually bruises, the boy is traumatized from abuse, not a car crash. the final verse is talking about how it's not always who you'd expect to abuse their kids, and those you don't notice are usually worse.



What do you think these lyrics mean?

i think its about no matter how bad things seem then can always get worse
