Not that anyone's reading this anymore or cares about the question posed by Abiku from 4yrs ago (2006) but I'm posting my thoughts anyway. I don't know exactly what the meaning of the song is but my interpretation of the lyrics "Johnny Clueless was there with his simulated wood grain" is that, wherever he was, there was the typical clueless guy you see at the bar/dance club/etc trying to look the part of a cool/stud/rich guy but it's all fake (simulated wood grain) rather than the real thing (actual, real, rich wood) and he has no idea how transparent he looks. Now how that fits into the meaning of the song I don't know.

My Interpretation

I think the 3 days refer to three differet stages in the persons life.

Possibly while growing up, not having any real obligations. Their mind is a blur because nothing of real significance happened in this time to reflect back upon.

Loosing motivation because of a break up in relationship or possibly changing interest in the "scene" they accociated with.

Dressed me up in all of their clothes - finding a new crowd to hang out with but not exaclty fitting in. Johnny Clueless and simulated woodgrain is about the people there portaying a part and seeming fake.

He...

Ooops, didn't mean to post this as a response the a comment. Sorry

@GaryIndiana I thought the wood grain was alcohol (moonshine).Johnny Cluesless just seemed to be someone unimportant or random.
