“Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong, how come it takes some people so damn long” talks about how he feels good about the way he is, but he doesn’t understand why others take so long to accept him even though he himself is happy about it. “Watch the basin drain as your life lines wane and you can’t explain as your friends complain you’ve caused all this pain and you proudly shame your whole families name” remarks how he is losing a lot being this way. His family and friends don’t like the fact that he is gay, but he doesn’t care what they think.

“Mother I can tell what you’ve been thinking staring at the stars on your ceiling thinking once there was a power that you were wielding” has a line about the stars on her ceiling, which can be seen as a symbol for the plastic stars on kids ceilings, and how she feels she has lost her son. She doesn’t know where she went wrong.

So yeah, that’s my take on it.
