Great song, and I can definitely relate. I think it's meaning isn't too difficult to figure out. When things go wrong, this guy feels at ease. For some people, like myself, being in a groove can be a scary thing. Life tends to feel stale and predictable. I'm sure many of you can understand where I'm coming from, right? When he says "Then I get to put it back together", I'm fairly certain he's being sarcastic. But despite the sarcasm putting things back together is when he really feels alive. It's the process of picking up the pieces that fulfills this guy. One could argue that he's delusional in his approach toward life, but not me. He gives it away at the end of the song with the lyric "You're gonna wake up scared. Gonna find yourself lost in hell...." He knows that the key to real happiness is keeping it simple and getting away from all the confusion. My two cents.
@CMan0928 I created an account just so I could respond to this very old posting. Dude.... you just described my husband. I am saving this just to read to my therapist. You opened my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
