Not sure about the second stanza after the first "I'm bored to tears" chorus. Sounded like "singing a bum note" but that doesn't make sense to me.
The song gives me the vision of a guy always going to parties/get-togethers, leaning on a table with a cup in his hand, and being bored shitless. The conversations he has are boring, he's not listening to them, not laughing at any of the jokes. He keeps going to these parties so he can't get a decent meal. He's falling asleep, he's obviously not interested in going anywhere anymore but people keep telling him that being able to is "everything a man could want."
I think Jack here is the one inviting Brendan to the parties, telling him he'll be a loner if he doesn't go and promises him "something good to eat."
Don't know what the murmuring from the child in the beginning is about...
ahahhaha at this: "I think Jack here is the one inviting Brendan to the parties, telling him he'll be a loner if he doesn't go and promises him "something good to eat."

it was actually written about how jack wanted to be a vampire as a child, and changed his mind when he got older... if you'd like to know the details, i have added them in a comment on the bottom of this page, also

I accidentally hit add comment before i was finished, so my comment goes on to the 2nd page in a 2nd comment, which has more information, and explains in more detail and depth and I pick apart each line from the song one by one and explain what it means to paint a very clear picture to all of the songmeanings.net readers out there.
P.S. i'd love some feedback on my interpretation if you get a chance.
Awesome way to start off the album...
