Sure it's a Canadian band and the song is sort of depressing but you'll get the point.
Look, a lot of the time people just don't really care what a song is saying. If the chorus is catchy and riffs are hot, it's go time. Just ask Ronald Reagan and half of 'MURICA about "Born in the USA," or anyone who ever played "Every Breath You Take" at their wedding. Does it matter that one is an indictment of broken patriotic promises and the other is basically a stalker anthem? Nope.
