"Hermit the Frog" speaks to the idea of being stuck in a certain mindset or situation because of another person's expectations and the pressures of living up to the standards of others. The narrator of the song has been blocked from expressing her true self due to the negative reaction from the person in her life who sees her as weak and subservient. She speaks of her need to "let go" of the constraining expectations and be free, as symbolized by her "glass balloon" bursting.
