What exactly is "Dissident" about? I mean, the lyrics lead you to believe its about a relationship heading downhill and they girl is bailing...but at the same time that doesn't exactly seem to fit. I've always wondered what it is really about...any opinions?

It's been real, and it's been fun -- but it hasn't been real fun.

Ed!!! Bring back the stage dives!!!

    the song is about a woman who takes a dissident into her home to hide him and then ends up turning him in to the authorities.

    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    Kinda thought it was about a girl who got pregnant had the kid and gave him up for adoption....probably way way way way off
