Ahhhhhhhh jesus. Hardly any song is as good as this one to me. This is sooooo powerful, I love it.

Meanings? So confusing, especially with Sunny Day Real Estate, ESPECIALLY with Diary! I'd say, maybe a few things. #1: the Title. The Blankets Were The Stairs... perhaps a relationship where the bed is the only time they get along? the only place they can make progress?

And I've been thinking about the rest. You can make a claim the song is about one lover killing another. "Late again, my breathing is leaving after yours"

And other stuff. But I don't know if I'll ever know.
