i don't usually read pitchfork, but i absolutely adore this album so i gave it a quick read and one line in its review really stuck out to me in that it stated, Boxer "is the rare album that gives back whatever you put into it".
This is a wonderful closing song to a tremendous album and my appreciation continues to grow with each and every listen. |

beautiful song...but i really have no idea what it means...
i can sort of see the social anxiety disorder take of the song, but what does "ada, i've been hoping you know your way around" at the end mean? |

it's about the changes in someone as a result of getting a job and how everything they care about has changed and now their whole life revolves around work and how well they can do in the "real world"...there's no longer any time for friends or fun and games as the person's priorities have now changed...
Great song from an absolutely amazing album |

i see it as being about a someone who feels like his life is being ripped away from him by society and its social norms, and he is tired of having to give into such materialistic and mainstream views. He misses his youth and the freedom that it held and allowed him to be a "deviant" and "ruffian". |

i don't know why but this song reminds me of t.s eliot's "the love song of j. alfred prufrock" where he has something important to say to this girl but for whatever reason he just gets too nervous/insecure and in the end can't do it |
