I think my initial reaction was that of not being surprised at someone's misfortune. I think after a while my interpretation changed to "situations aren't always what they seem." I wouldn't say my first thought was the lyrics are mean, though.

Raine Maida doesn't sing in a high pitch like he used to. He used to go up and down, I mean thats obvious from listening to the first 4 record, but then with Bob Rock that all changed and has been since.
I have only heard him sing high once and that was on the Paper Moon song....and it sounded like he was just doing it for old time sake.
He needs to bring that singing style back because...I really don't want to hear another Our Lady Peace album that sounds like he is just going through the motions, he lacks enthusiasm for the band I think.
