I remember the first time I listened to the song I was like, 'Whaaa?'
I'd been a fan of Socratic for a while and I downloaded it and I was kinda lost.
I didn't relate at all until like three weeks ago, when I was ticked at someone.
To me, this song is like an angry, bitter Duane telling about his situation and how ticked off he is by giving examples. (The paychecks, you need me though I'm an asshole, the sun won't be free someday, insomnia, he misses simpler times, etc.) He tries to maintain an optimistic view that comes out more as sarcasm.
(She needs him, but he's an asshole, everything's beautiful but extremely hard to gain, etc.)
But the last stanza he's all, 'Well, I guess I'll deal and get over this sooner or later. So I'll take it and learn and bear because I know that this probably won't be the last time I feel this down. La la la.'
