He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the planet
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it, yeah
But now you've just had it
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
When the thing that you love
Is the same thing that's holding you down
This man is dangerous
He just shed his load on your best party frock
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide
Are you ready to rock?
Hmm, can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again
Just get on the floor and show me, show me what you're made of
Just what exactly are you made of?
(Baby, you're driving me crazy)
(Baby, you're driving me crazy)
I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived
Why do we have to half-kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me, whenever you need me
Well, I won't be here
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?
Why did you come here
Baby, you're driving me crazy
Baby, you're driving me crazy
And do you really want to know
Just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over, will you come home with me?
When the party's overn will you come home with me
When the party's overn will you come home to me
Oh, will you come home to me?
Oh, will you come home to me?
Oh, will you come home to me?
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it, yeah
But now you've just had it
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
When the thing that you love
Is the same thing that's holding you down
This man is dangerous
He just shed his load on your best party frock
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide
Are you ready to rock?
Hmm, can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again
Just get on the floor and show me, show me what you're made of
Just what exactly are you made of?
(Baby, you're driving me crazy)
(Baby, you're driving me crazy)
I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived
Why do we have to half-kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me, whenever you need me
Well, I won't be here

If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?
Why did you come here
Baby, you're driving me crazy
Baby, you're driving me crazy
And do you really want to know
Just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over, will you come home with me?
When the party's overn will you come home with me
When the party's overn will you come home to me
Oh, will you come home to me?
Oh, will you come home to me?
Oh, will you come home to me?

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I never got why people might think that "being bored of partying" is less of a deep topic than a love story. The disgust with his own hedonism seems pretty relevant and interesting to me, at least more so than "damn, i can't get that girl"
