Im sure it is about a video game. Next time, state why you believe so. After reading Peppergirls comment I could kinda see that but im sure your just making it into about surfing because you enjoy surfing. Funny how our minds connect for us.

wow...its heavy. i think this song is really personal, and i dont feel that i have the authority to just analyze it. however its about a war within himself. maybe he's trying to work his way out of a depression, but its not working. and....he just feels so much pain...wow i dont know. i really dont.

I think this song is about surfing. If you listen to the song with that in mind it all makes sense. Walls closing, ceiling falling- its all about being trapped in a wave. It sound like he surfs to escape from himself. Surfing can be a punnishing sport, and I really like the referance to Sisipus- (the guy who had to push the boulder up the hill, only to have it roll back down right before he reached the top- for all of eternity.- Greek mythology) Surfers are always looking for the perfect ride- something they may never find, no matter how skilled they are or how often they try. The ocean punishes them, and they always come back for more. Small sucesses for huge efforts. I love Pinback because they write about the stuff no one else does, and they do it with pure poetry. Maybe my answer is too obvious- but I don't think this song is about depression at all- I think it's about trying to reach a seemingly unattanable perfection- and enjoying the process even if you get beat up along the way.
