And the ripped ones say goodbye
While the others meet
Attached somewhere
At least they're shared
And the ripped ones never collide
While the others

The theme of this song seems to be loneliness. The term "ripped" is sometimes used to describe someone who is stoned, and I believe that the author is describing the life of 'stoners' who are stuck in a life of loneliness. The ripped ones are finding that their interactions with others are ending in goodbyes rather than in invitations and that they seem to never find other people whom they can be connected to. The ripped ones wish to feel "attached" and "shared", and they watch while the other 'normal' people have the relationships and the feelings that the ripped ones wish they could have and feel.
@king1793 I think you may be onto something with your interpretation. I think that it may not be referring to Cannabis, per say, but I do agree that it seems to resonate loneliness heavily. The desire to unsee the things we’ve seen, or take back all the difficult times that have put us where we are now, even when that’s not a possibility. The “others,” everything just seems to flow so easily without any sort of troubles blocking the way.

I have NO idea what this song is about and really... i dont care. This was my first pinback song and i fell in love. i think it was meant to be. my id card # is 49591 i think that means something. this is such a pretty song its amazing, it calms me down.
@WatermelonOfJoy That's crazy!!! The synchronicities people have with Pinback are insane. They're magic.

4 9 5 3 1 D I E C A San diego band. Die CA (california)? Thats my theory. Match up the numbers with letters in the alphabet
maybe CA is the innitials for someone important in his life like when he says "and the ripped ones say goodbye" that could mean the end of a relationship and he's sad to see other people getting together while the "ripped ones never collide" so they'll never be able to get back together.... just an insite... dont believe me im probably wrong anyways... but i'll just go with my idea cuz it makes the song more meaningful and sad to me
could it be about the others from lost?
just kidding
this song is amazing to snowboard to
I used to ski to Pinback all the time! Most of their songs are great for the slopes, but especially this one. Glad someone else feels the same way :)
