From my understanding this is about a partner of Dave, perhaps his life partner, that won't let him forget his past drug and alcohol abuses. It seems he's talking from his perspective of how what's done is done and his past cannot be changed but he's still doing time by being reminded about what he got up to by his partner, when all he wants is to just move on. As he says, it's a hangover into old age where he's still made to feel bad about the "night before" (his past). |

I can't help but think it's about someone the song writer knows who had a rough childhood and dispite going through some tough times has come out the otherside alright ie. "The big bad years are gone" and "It's good to be back". Lines like "born on your feet" seem to suggest this person was left to fend for themselves from an early age. I think drugs and drink were a problem for this person because of lyrics like "super fun at the movies, drunk and young" and "Cause I'm still amazed you made it out alive after what you did". This line is then followed by "running forest fires underneath your bed" which could be a reference to where drugs/drink were stashed. Seems like this sort of childhood/upbringing is happening more and more around the world where parents don't care what their kids are up to or do and then the kids are doing drugs/drinking schneaky, schneaky. Either way, I wouldn't want to be a kid in the 21st century. |
