I believe the song is warning against too much fantasy, particularly addictive video games. This is a common theme for Pinback. Think Blue Screen Life.
"Wait, I'm afraid your face my drift into the forest." means computer screen/ TV screen video games. Sometimes fantasy can be so addictive that the people will miss out on life and all its lessons.
fantasy games and whole other genres of video games are responsibe for holding thousands of people back away from their fuller potential. Many people cannot handle the stress of non stimulating addictive fantasy. A result of the endless enterainment we take for granted. Many live their lives sheltered, sometimes being so emotionally scarred from lake of real world perspectives, from then on having to try very much harder to get comfortable.
At least thats what I feel like Pinback is trying heal people through their music, sometimes lyrics that seem vaque or without meaning are actually a beacon of perspective to others, based on their own unique experiences. It would be a much better world if all those intelligent geeks out their would get off their asses and do what needs to be done.
