Lyric discussion by lovemakelust 

this song i think has little to do with coney island.

this song is about being stuck in a place you loved but nobody else is there with you. The thought of the place makes you "smile" but "everything is closed". You remain in the past in an enjoyable point of your life but everybody else has moved on and you will never leave.

@lovemakelust I created an account just to agree with you. This is exactly how I take this song. It's not the only way to take this song, but this is how I feel about it.
