Lyric discussion by River Wolf 

Cover art for Crown of Thorns lyrics by Social Distortion

this song is cool, man.

i think it's about a dude looking make it retrospect at a terrible relationship and trying to find a new one, but options are small and he's meeting people who he likes but don't want one

i think the chorus might refer to casual sex. it's better than being lonely but in the end it amounts to nothing.
