(b:D)b At Eelsrule, some of the songs on the album really do that to you...you hatign them, then ending up loving them afterwards, I mean.

As for teh song, the first verse just seems to be him paranoid from sleep depravation. I don't know what the second verse might mean, but it might just be him being easily ticked off ("everyone was loud"). Or, the other person is impressed with some positive quality of somebody, and the main character comments that if you were less of an asshole you wouldn't be so surprised. I dunno.

The "You're no fun" part, shen I first read that those lyrics were in the song, instantly made me think that the main character is angry at the people who are asleep, and who are not afraid of it, and since he's awake all night he's bored out of his mind. So he writes them off as boring sicne they go to sleep, with a "You're no fun". Maybe, I dunno...maybe it has something more to do with that second verse too.
