Lyric discussion by thalleck 

i thought it was pretty clear that this song was about alcoholism. i think that because just about everyone sort of "discovered" this song through magnolia, that it seems to apply more to that context, but if you think about it more closely -- "It's not What you thought When you first began it"

and the obvious "You're sure There's a cure And you have finally found it You think One drink Will shrink you 'til you're underground"

i always thought this song was clearly about alcoholism. does anyone else think so?
