The following is not my interpretation, but the actual song meaning from the lead vocalist, Sameer Gadhia.
The song was written as a cry for help when the band was broke and didn't know what to do with themselves. Frontman Sameer Gadhia explained the group "felt somewhat oppressed by the universal expectation of what to do in Orange County... in suburbia in general. I think we really yearned to break out of that and do something a little bit different." Gadhia added that the song was their attempt to "break free, not necessarily from oppression, but the common symptoms of suburbia like boredom, normality and homogeneity."
Hope this helps. I appreciate everyone's interpretation and such, but wild theories just mislead fans.
It doesn't hurt to have your own interpretation. You may know the meaning of a painting, but how it applies to yourself is what you decide.
This song reminds me of my depression and is telling me that I've got to find an actual cure, not a cough syrup to alleviate the symptoms.
But anyways, thanks for telling us the real meaning. It'll help others a lot c:
