its a pylon, i dont call it a road cone because at my old old school they were used to block off areas where we weren't allowed to go...and that wasn't the road..it was in a schoolyard...everyone at school always called them pylons and it was a while before i ever heard them called anything else...

I'm gonna have to say Road Cone
What I felt before was wrong, I told myself all along, these familiar feelings take away the pain. And with this reason to rebel, I told you how I felt, you turned and sighed and said you couldn't feel a thing for me. And I lost another wish in all of this.

It's a traffic cone.

A pylon is one of those big metal thingies that holds up the electricity wires.

From dictionary.com:

py·lon ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pln)
n.
A steel tower supporting high-tension wires.
A tower marking a turning point in a race among aircraft.
A large structure or group of structures marking an entrance or approach.
A monumental gateway in the form of a pair of truncated pyramids serving as the entrance to an ancient Egyptian temple.


Nowhere does it mention them being little orange cones :D
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
