"Eating snow flakes with plastic forks And a paper plate of course, you think of everything" People like pretend like they had it rough, even down to the details. (see comparing bellyaches below) Eating snow with plastic forks is an equivalent to "walking uphill both ways". An exaggeration of personal hardship. "Short love with a long divorce And a couple of kids of course They don't mean anything" Probably 1st person experience. He is one of the kids that feels worthless. "Live in trailers with no class goddamn I hope I can pass high school means nothing Taking heartache with hard work Goddamn I am such a jerk, I can't do anything" Again 1st person feeling of worthlessness. "And I shout that you're all fakes And you should have seen the look on your face And I guess that's what it takes When comparing your bellyaches" Goes back to the first line. People try to claim they had it rough and he calls them out for being fakes. "And it's been a long time Which agrees with this watch of mine And I guess that I miss you, and I'm sorry if I dissed you" The song is recalling a story from child hood. Time has passed and he has mixed feelings of regret. |

I always liked the line "there is comfort in self loathing" but I never knew what it meant. How is there comfort in self loathing? Here's how: If you lose confidence in yourself it becomes much easier to not take chances. By not taking chances you can never have the feeling of disappointment that is inevitable when you fail at something. This may be a relationship, trying out for something, or anything really. That is how there is comfort in self loathing. So don't let it pass you by, Because It moves so fast, there's no time for perfection, So make the most of this life |
