Overall Meaning

The Exies' song "My Opinion" is a powerful anthem that conveys the lead singer's raw and unfiltered stance on society's flawed values. The song starts with a plea to not take the singer's opinion personally and not to lash out in frustration. The point he is trying to make is that words are cheap, and it's better to set him free than vent your frustration on him. He believes that something is seriously wrong with the world, and his opinion reflects this.

The chorus is where the singer makes his opinion crystal clear. He considers the current state of affairs obscene and fueled by greed. The singer's disdain for the current state of the world is put forth in no uncertain terms in his repetition of "in my opinion."

The second verse of the song deals with resignation to tradition, implying that nothing can change. The singer is further frustrated with the situation and begins to feel that his life is getting raped. The chorus re-emphasizes his feelings of broken trust and how the water will rust under the current circumstances.
