Still, i dont get what this song is exactly about! to me it kinda sounds like just a committed relationship between a two young teenagers and itsjust slug describing the personalities of each of these characters and the problems within their relationship, mostly due to thier young age. but that they are still just learning the lessons of life and kinda taking in everyhting that life is showing them. maybe this could be inspired by slug and a relationship he had or maybe off a friend, im not sure.
But this is all just a guess. if someone has a better ideaology about it, please tell me!
jaimemartinez527, this song almost literally reads like a translation of Lifter Puller's collective work. For those not in the know, Lifter Puller was an art punk band from Minneapolis that told a story across four albums and some b-sides. It was a story about a character (loosely based on the lead singer Craig Finn) and his girlfriend. The first album starts at the end high school (with some references to it) and continues on into the mid-twenties of the characters by the last album. The characters were hardcore drug addicts, and the story reveals the crazy life that this can...

To take a comment out of a Broker Dealer song (one of Craig Finn's bands post Lifter Puller), this collective work leads to laying out the "late twenties null and void" that the druggy life leads too.
It is notable that Craig Finn has loosely continued this story in his newest band, The Hold Steady. I say that to mention that this band came into being well after Atmosphere wrote the song about Lifter Puller. If Slug had heard The Hold Steady music, he might have written a different song as The Hold Steady is much for Pop Punk and has a more positive outlook on life.
