An amazing song, I absolutely love it.
Maybe, does anyone know what it is about?
I can only guess that the protagonist is not happy about a matter that
is not mentioned in here.

I'm pretty sure it's about the protaganist going out on the town with a girl he's known since childhood and noticing how they've changed from when they were 4 to the point they're at now, aged 26 and yearning for the simpler times of their childhood.

That's how I read into it anyway and I think it's absolutely heartbreaking.

ihave3pennies explaination makes sense as the 'math rock' genre tend to experiment with different time signatures and in this case 26/8 is 'dancier than the typical 4/4 beat used by a lot of artists

I don't think its about a childhood friendship.

The lyrics seem to say that the persona is tired of going out to the same clubs with the same people and the same music.

it could be that he is just miserable at that time, like when you get drunk and start to notice all the dumb things your friends do and it annoys you so just have to go somewhere else, but in a few hours you've forgotten all about it and you wanna go out with them.
I think its a combination of NateChai's and mattgill1992's interpretation.
Also I think he is saying how enjoying things like being with friends has changed from when they were younger into a more cynical and critical experience,

Same faces there to hit the floor."

This is probably one if my favourite songs ever. Musically, the song is incredible. The singer's voice is unbelieveable and the guitar and drums are superb. But it is how much I can relate to this song that really gets me. I always draw a contrast between what my life is now and what it was. I am 18 and I often go into town in the evening with friends and this song totally reflects my thoughts.
Discussing feelings like these is extremely raw and honest subject matter when you consider the lyrical content of a lot of mainstream music nowadays which entails "partying hard" or "living for the weekend." 26 Is Dancier Than 4 is so brilliantly honest and well written. I will go back to it for the rest of my life because of what it means to me.
amazing guitar in this song! this town needs guns are my favourite band at the moment didnt think these guys would be on here!

I think it has to do with time signatures. 26/8 time signature in the last bit.
