I can't believe know one commented on this beautiful song. Patton is an inspirational and oddly sporadical writer and performer. His lyrics can mean something or they can mean nothing (assuming this song was written by Patton and not one of the other members). From what I've gathered from all the times I've listened to this song, it sounds like it could be somebody in shock of hearing unexpected and unfathomable news and the beauty and sorrow of his/her denial, and turns out he/she were the last to find out about this new. And considering the tone of the song, I always imagined someone enjoying their beautiful sunny day and coming home and discovering sad and empty faces that completely obliterate the zest for life that person had.

Well, that's my goddamn theory.
