people don't like this song over other bnl songs because of the "simple lyrics" (There’s a restaurant down the street / Where hungry people like to eat). Have you ever been driving, get lost in thought, then suddenly be at your destination and not remember the drive? ever have a whole day like that? a week? a month of just autopiolet, get up do this, think "oh that's nice" but not feel it, not feel good or bad, not feel at all, just ovserve things, make mental notes, then go to sleep? i have. it is horrible. i think that's what the songs about. the lyrics are meant to be simple. in the verses, he's in this slump of mental numbness, then escapes in the choruses to say "please, tell me this isn't life. tell me this is a dream, please for the love of God tell me this isn't real!"
but you try to scream and it only comes out as a yawn
