I always thought the lines "and this was why jeff/in the letters he'd write to his friend/helped develop a plan to get even" made the song less about simply chasing your dreams, and more of an explanation of rebellion.
I always use this song as a benchmark of how amazing John Darnielle's music is - only he can get away with "hail satan" not detracting from his songs, much less ADDING to them. Bravo.
