I like the topic of this song. I think a lot about education and the school system. I fought myself through German high school finally ending up in grad school. But did I actually learn something? It's all about grades and other people tell you what to learn and sometimes I have the feeling that I would be completely helpless in certain situations. I lack basic things for survival. I just learned to get through exams. I just learned stuff that others considered essential for my future.
Maybe not especially my problem but a lot of people get through university and end up not being able to think for themselves. I much more honor people who educated themselves and learned what they wanted to learn and what they considered essential.
