Discover the story of the song > Three Seed – Silversun Pickups

The protagonist is describing feeling overconfident and pretending to be something he's not, but regrets his actions as he got caught up in the rush. He reflects on a past relationship, represented by sketches on the floor, and remembers the last seed that was all he needed. He feels fooled by the idea that everything will work out, but still wants to be closer to things he can never belong to. The song repeats the idea that the sums don't add up, meaning that things don't always make sense or work out the way you think they will.
