This song is so fantastic. It's about a gluttony that has no reason anymore, one that brings more pain than it ever alleviated in the first place. Even if you've never experienced that feeling from the standpoint Doug Hopkins did with his alcoholism, it still applies a lot of other places.
What's so intriguing about Gin Blossoms is that a song can be so serious in nature, but the melody itself can still be in some way uplifting. In a really ironic sense, that seems to add to the melancholy for me. Some of their songs are some of the most beautifully sad songs ever written.
I completely agree with this comment...I wore out the first two CDs because they can be listened to while doing anything...but when you really listen to and analyze the lyrics, there is a message in every song...and some are not as happy as others...great comment.
