Do You Think This Song Is About Schizophrenia?

[Dan]

Most popularly known covered by Gary Jules for Donnie Darko.

My brother told me he got sacked from a job for staring out of a window at a beautiful sky.

I found myself drifting into a dreamy state often, still do, but it has killed my social life.

Are we all schizophrenic? Or autistic? Or what!?

I don't think it's that specific. I think it's about how messed up the world is.

 

[MinaT]

I think the song is about pessimism, depression even and there's a lot of truth in it too. It is a mad world we live in and people do run in circles and for what..

Why not stare out the window.......
This would be a neat company to work for:
