You said Armani was the shackles of youth, oh-no.

The story:

The lyric made sense to me in that, it sounded like the narrator is speaking of some well-off disaffected suburban brat suffering through the ennui of having it all yet wanting none of it, afraid to move on on his own, afraid to unshackle himself from consumerism. To want to just recklessly tear into life, to be fearless and try to sink or swim on one's own, but to be drawn to a life of banal security. The song came out when I was 25; I was pretty deep back then.
