Maybe one of the best things about Isaac Brocks writing and Modest Mouse music in general is that though the majority is based on drug use, the songs (especially this one) are so open to interpretation. The good times really are killing us. Too much of a good thing, you know. Its like life cannot afford you to enjoy to much, all the best things will break you down. You don't have to do drugs to realize this. But I will say being 'experienced' will absolutely allow you to pick up on exactly what Brock is writing. Though we can all interpret it for ourselves, its nice to recognize it as he is interpreting it. He is one of the few musicians who really strike me deep, I really feel for this music. Its so perfectly real.
@SydBaresIt The album is Good News for People Who Love Bad News much deeper than that, 2 key songs are Ocean Breathes Salty, which is why expect an afterlife, why dont live this one - if you wasted this one, will waste the afterlife? and Bury Me with it, which is about Human kind being self-destructive - (not drugs), Violence, Climate Change, Economic disparity. They write very methaphorically
