First, my favorite song. Maybe ever, There's something, extremely soothing about Jimmie's chicken shack. But this song takes the cake. In my mind it's about, a guy who was "started" (interested) in a girl but they're over now. Hence, Don't get me started / Don't get me started again. He doesn't want to deal with the pain in the dating game. The son you better get up part is most likely about not his dad talking to him, but maybe deeper down, even religous wise, it says "Miracle" (by the way just realizing this now) maybe its god. giving him a second chance at love. Because it says, "son you better get up," son meaning since god is the father, the son being man. And he's told he has another chance, but it'll take a miricle to get him started, so he doesnt take that second chance. He kills himself, I know it's my smoke they are tasting
Damn another tragic jam
I know I;m s'posed to use my brake
So on the gas I slam
Meaning he committed suicide. The miracle was only a miracle, and wouldn't ever happen to him. He killed himself because he had a broken heart, and grew lazy because it, but in a sense maybe lazy as in, dead. Maybe even his songs are linked together, because in the song dead sleep, he says "i think ill sleep when I'm dead" meaning in the first lazy boy he was dead and its going back (THIS IS WAAYYYYY OUT THERE AND IM HALF ASLEEP)
@AssassinReaper I have to admit, I agree with a LOT of what you said, though I'm not quite sure I want to believe this song actually gets as dark as possible suicide. I mean, it makes sense, and I know I've heard (and LOVED) songs that tell an even darker story, but I do like your theories about this song, at least!
