Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself
And pinpoint where I am

By the time I get things figured out
I've change the whole damn plan
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon
I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

    My Interpretation

    This song is pretty simple and to the point. It's about the life of an unwilling cynic. Somebody who is constantly depressed or on the verge of it. Their mental state causes them anxiety and irritability. They push away everything positive because they can only see the negative things. If there is no real negative, as with a sunset, they'll still talk shit about it. Everything feels pointless and mediocre, so they lash out at friends, family, their situation in general. The truth is the only thing to blame is their mentality. One of the greatest songs I have ever heard and it will likely connect with most people at some point in their life, if not the majority of it.
