this song is about a the singer quiting his art, and how the idea of quiting fills him with dread and leaves his life empty
"Throw my guitar down on the floor
No one cares what I've got to say anymore
I didn't come here to be damned with faint praise
I'll write my masterpiece some other day" this is about him quiting
"There'll be no more cigarettes
No more having sex
No more drinking until you fall on the floor
No more indie rock"
this is about how quiting his art is also quiting his lifestlye.
"They'll say
Your life is over [repeat until end]"
now this line is harder as it could be his former band mates and friends telling him that leaving the band means his life is over or perhaps it is just his own opinion of leaving his art, he saying that his art is his entire life.
a great song by a great band
