    Lyrics:
    In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh, it has begun...
    Oh dear, you look so lost, your eyes are red and tears are shed,
    This world you must've crossed...
    You said...
    You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah,
    And you said
    You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,
    Essential yet appealed, you carry all your thoughts across an open field,
    When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry when they see you
    You said...
    You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah,
    Well you said
    You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

    My Dad passed away this morning
    I'm sitting in a cafe with my fiance who will never be able to meet him now.
    This song is playing over the radio.
    I was, not as active in my Father's life, we lived on the other side of the country for most of my life. Far from him, and unable to regularly visit.
    He didn't have many friends and relied on me and my sisters for company via calls. I wish I'd taken more of those calls.
    I wish that I had picked up the phone last Saturday. Oh God how I wish.
    I miss you Dad, even more now because your voice is gone, your laugh, your booming presence. You were so goofy Dad. So good.
    I will always miss you. I love you Dad

    Great song. But people are misinterpreting it. It does not sum up Boston. It's not about being from Boston and missing it. It's about someone getting out of the life they're used to and going somewhere new, where they can start fresh - no one knows his name, he can be someone new. I myself am feeling kind of the opposite; I'm from Boston and would love to move to California. This song is about anyone wanting to move and make a new life for himself.

It actually is cool to have a reset and become a new person and get rid of all the baggage you had where you came from. You can't completely run away from your past, but overall, I would recommend it.

    To me, this song represents the memories and the feelings of growing up as a teenager in the mid-2000s. Even if it were just for a day, I'd want to go back to 2005 :/

    This song always makes me want to actually move and start a new life and leave all the pain and bs that I have carried with me from one state to the next. Which was from home with family to more family where I am now and married. I just want to escape and start anew.
