Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl by The Broken Social Scene

This song, when I first listened to it (distractedly) on Youtube, I didn't like very much. But the second time I listened to it, I heard it for its words and immediately fell in love with it. I hadn't liked the song at first because of the vocal quality and texture (but now that's one of my favourite things about the song). It seems like she's singing underwater, or from a different plane of existence, which is interesting, as I assume the younger girl is the one who's singing this, and she seems to be drowning. She's drowning and the new 'look' and manner of conduct of this 17 year old girl is taking over, and the younger girl is aware of it.

I'm 17, so I feel like I completely understand what is being said in this song.
It is like a younger girl is observing her 17 year old self and is just putting into words what she sees happening. It is so blatent that, it seems like the young girl doesn't understand it and wants her 17 year old self to turn back to her younger self-- which is the way I feel now. The Broken Social Scene, however, reckons that the 17 year old girl is "not coming back" from the path she's on in her life.

I don't know how many people would like this song. But I find it very personal and very relaxing. Please take a listen and comment on how you respond to it. Thanks :)
