| Better clear the air before your son becomes a man. I just thought it was about the things we do that probably we'll be telling our children are immoral or wrong in the future. a classic example is how a lot of current peoples folks got high in the sixties and swung in the seventies - not saying its about exactly that just u know make an ass of yourself but then 'sort yourself out' before you have to be responsible. | |

| Actually, I sound like a dumbass now don't I? Of course it's about Consequence! I like how the off-beat compliments the melody at the beginning | |

| "For Consequence is a bigger word than you think. It's bigger than you or me." That is so true and so scary. Brandon must have meditated on that word! Maybe he was thinking in the direction of someone he knew who was a parent and was doing a questionable job? But then he turns it on himself as well, like realizing there are things he is guilty of doing that will have dramatic consequences in his future. and now that he is on the subject, all of us are cautioned. be wary of your blind sheepery, your sleepwalk thru life because time passes quickly and if you wait too long you are gonna be one sorry sumbish!! | |

| my take: basically this song is about life's unpredictability and how the consequences of our actions can come back to haunt us. 1 2 Next | |
