I know this song is about getting drunk and stoned, but I have a different interpretation for the song. For me, it's about a person who wants to stay in their own world and not let the real world bother them. I read that Eric had wanted to watch a football game but people were constantly bothering him, which led to the writing of the song. I like to use the line "Turn the quiet up; turn the noise down" on my housemates when they talk too much. People with autism could use that first line when they want to be in their own worlds and the real word needs them to be there.
