This is another great TMBG song of sadness hidden inside lunatic lyrics and great melodies. The song is weighted with the regret of someone who wasted their life ("it's over... and I haven't done anything that I want") or is currently wasting their life. Doesn't matter which because they are essentially the same. Sure, now he resolves to not sit at home anymore and finally stop hanging around, but it's too late. I could even say that "taken off the shelf before the date stamped on myself" eludes to him expiring (dying) before he was ready (date on self); but I never read that far into it. So stop wasting your life blogging or downloading music and DO STUFF.
