blurppi had a good interpretation. "i'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings and some sandals with the style of straps that cling best to the era" love that line, he’s just saying that this desire is a part of humanity, in any “era.” We sell our souls to do what’s fashionable at the time (making money or going to college are both trends like that). in the end we're never really satisfied. Success is relative and so are our desires; the more you get the more you want.

At the end when he says he came clean with himself, he’s being honest with himself that no amount of success or education will make him a better person.

with the comment about loving his girlfriend more when she was sober. I think all these behaviors, drinking included, are just ways of trying to fill voids in our lives through outside means but we really have to face and accept ourselves. akfjl;dadfk fkfl I don’t know good song though
