Reading through these interpretations I think we're all spot on. My original interpretation was that this song has to do with fake friends and the dark undertone of nightlife. I think the song's feel gives it away even more than the lyrics, the song just kind of reeks of false personalities and fake gestures. You can tell that Ben Gibbard is foreign to the sometimes fake world of social life, and probably felt a sense of disgust and betrayal.
However you wanna interpret it, this song always stuck out to me on the record. It's just so slow and dark. I definitely related with the feelings expressed here to. I ain't scurred but I thought this song was a stick-out on the record yadig it was cool though.
