I've been a huge blink fan my whole life and I really, really enjoyed this song. Not only is the sound a welcome fusion of elements from Boxcar and A & A, but the lyrics especially have that heartfelt sincerity that's present in their best songs. Fantastic single.

Oh sorry forgot to input my interpretation of the song! I definitely agree with everyone who's said that it's about how everyone is haunted by their own demons and insecurities, but I also love that the lyrics are full of well-worded juxtapositions and ironies ("Everyone works and fights, stays up all night, to celebrate the day" or " Everyone raises kids in a world that changes life to a bitter game"), that echo the existential dilemmas faced by adulthood. This could definitely relate to the band's past struggles, but I believe they're quite universal in nature... something kind of unusual coming...
