Ballad of Big Nothing Lyrics

Lyric discussion by nopoetic 

Cover art for Ballad of Big Nothing lyrics by Elliott Smith

i think maybe that this is talking about himself and his family, his sister i think...how he does all these things to worry them and they try to just stop careing but they cant and he just makes it worse and worse on them. by his actions and he doesnt think he means anything to anyone, but his family still worries about him. "candy" means sex. at least thats what i got from it...it could mean anything.
