no offense to anyone, but you're all pretty wrong. i suppose some (very few) of you could be a bit close, but no one has said a single thing about his step-father or his family life.
his step-father abused him. he repressed it, and i'm guessing he made elliott's girlfriend leave him(i don't know that for sure):
"where mute memories start talking/the boss that couldn't help but hurt you/and the pretty thing he made desert you"
the problems that they don't bring up, but get worse because of that:
"with hidden cracks that don't show/but that constantly just grow"
step-father, no one believing him:
"i'm looking for the man that attacked me/while everybody was laughing at me"
he's upset with the habits (or addictions) he's made along with all of the memories he's repressed:
"it's 2:45 in the morning/and i'm putting myself on warning/for waking up in an unknown place/with a recollection you've half erased"
he's shedding light on everything, his mother sided with her husband, he's been pushed away and won't ever forgive them:
"i'm walking out on center circle/the both of you can just fade to black/i'm walking out on center circle/been pushed away and i'll never go back"
...
now, i know it's arrogant to try to explain thoughts that aren't mine, but when you think it's schitzophrenia, when you think it's alcohoi, when you think he's like nirvana, and it's pretty clear that it's not, then you need to quiet down. think before you speak.
it's not about a guy who got mugged, it's not supposed to be funny, it's not a cover. it's not the cliche, "my girlfriend cheated on me and i hate them both." i think poopdeckpappi was the only one who came remotely close.
then again, i could be completely wrong. maybe he is like nirvana, four powerchords and all. oh man.
