I listen to it before I start the car and, by the time I've gotten through it, I realize that other people do actually have it worse than I do. By the time I get home, I'm almost human again. Sometimes I listen to it on the way to work to, so I can face the day without crying in the office.

The song is in the first-person and is about the first person who figured out that setting a backfire can save your life. Apparently this guy was in charge of 14 people, 13 of whom died in a fire when they refused to follow his order to step into the backfire he set. They died, he lived to regret surviving.
