Doug Hopkins’ song is a brilliant story of alcoholism. The title speaks of alcoholic blackouts. The 1st verse is about unrealistic expectation and disappointment. The chorus has a reference to Shakespeare’s comedy/soap opera 12th Night, and searching for happiness that you know that others posses, but seems out of reach for yourself. The 2nd verse takes responsibility for problems inflicted upon self, alienation and loneliness that an alcoholic feels. A separation from others even in a crowd. The outro talks of the alcoholic fog where events that happened just a few hours ago seem unreal or like old news.
Or its a song about picking up chicks in bars and rocking out.
