I think it's about those moments in your life where you've let yourself become an apathetic drag and you slowly realize it in yourself. You kind of try to change for the better, but you're deep in your apathy. I feel this song's not about sadness, but about feeling emotionless.
What really makes the Lawrence Arms stand out to me, I think, is the very specific imagery that they seem to convey in my head. I can imagine times in my past where I just sat around and moped, dissapointed with myself and relate it to this song.
Even though the lyrics don't seem to be very hopeful, I feel like the melody juxtaposes the lack of emotion, making it sound kinda hopeful. Awesome song!
