Dan Mangan – Leaves, Trees, Forest Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song is about the futility of hope. Not that it's bad, but it's also misleading, so all you can do is go with the flow.

Armor for Sleep – Remember To Feel Real Lyrics 15 years ago
I listened to this album a lot and never thought much of the common theme until I moved home from somewhere far away I'd been for a while. What I take from this entire album is that it's written from the perpective of someone who had been home for a long time trying to maintain the connections and relationships they had back home, only to realize when they came back that everyone had moved on with their lives, making them feel invisible, or dead, because without being a tangible part of their lives that's basically what can become.

That to say this: what I take from the song is that when he came back he'd been replaced in the role that he once filled in some of his friend's lives, probably basically a drinking buddy (though he thought it was more), and someone has been trying to explain that to him all along.
