    The track is a metaphor for the fragility of one's life and relationships. Throughout the song, they use the image of a sweater unraveling to represent when something in one's life begins to fall apart. The chorus references this idea, where the singer is metaphorically unraveling and is asking someone to hold onto the thread as they walk away. It conveys the idea of separating from someone or something in a peaceful, non-destructive way. They also explore the idea of being alone and lost, using the line "I’ll soon be naked/Lying on the floor, lying on the floor, I’ve come undone", which suggests that being on one's own is an inevitable part of life. Ultimately, the song serves as an ode to the fragility of life and encourages the listener to cherish their relationships while they can, and take time to appreciate the moments they have.

    This music video has so many awesome things:
    1. The room is upside down when the camera enters. This isn’t actually a camera trick or editing. The people in the hallway at the start were actually suspended from the ceiling to get this shot.
    2. The video transitions from black and white to colour when the lights come on.
    3. The video is in slow motion meaning Weezer were actually playing the song at around 1.5x speed for the video.
    4. The video is on a set with a blue screen and other cameras that are never used.
    5. Pat Wilson's Drumkit is only fitted with the drums he needs for this song. Bass, Snare, Floor Tom and Cymbals.
    6. Weezer make very little attempt to look like they're playing the song. Note: Rivers just strumming the open strings and Matt sat on the floor.
    7. All of the equipment is either not plugged in or not turned on. Note: Brian's microphone cable just lying on the floor, lying on the flooorrr, it's come undone.
    8. None of them are wearing sweaters.
    9. Dogs.
    10. It's Weezer all over. I fell in love with this band because of this song and video. It's fun and it's cool as heck.

      Yup that's what Spike Jonze did. Apparently out of the 25 treatments they were sent, Spike Jonze was the only one that didn't include an actual sweater. Even when they specified they wanted no sweaters, everyone pitched sweaters to them like "I do what I want, I do what I want!" Also, the video is one continuous shot, they did 25 takes, and this was between takes 15 and 20 somewhere, & they were sick of doing it over and over and starting to get goofy. The drummer especially because he was coming to terms with one of the dogs shitting on his bass drum pedal right before.

      They actually ARE playing their instruments though.

I learned about it in a video production class I took a couple years ago.

      He means they aren't trying to match the recordings. This video was filmed around 25 times or so, and after like the 13th Weezer gave up on trying to perfectly match the recording and started screwing around. They're technically "playing" at the right tempo but at certain points you can tell that they aren't hitting the right spots in the video, Pat starts drumming the air, Matt straight stops playing several times and even sits down once to bob his head to the music, Brian occasionally only strums half the notes, Rivers plays with one hand...it's all an observation of the casual flippancy of the video. They don't try to be professionals, they're just goofing around.
      I think out of the 25 or so recordings they did they settled on recording 17, 18, 19 or 20.

    Made a dance routine to this song many years ago and my dad encouraged me through it! My parents split up shortly after that and to cope I listened to this song on repeat. Good times? Thanks weezer 💙

      You should give Ravel's "Bolero" a listen. Except in that case, the madness was for real.

    This song so represents my life. In 2010 I lost my home, in 2015 my son (and only child died). Many other things have happened as well. Life at times can be an unraveling sweater that you just can't stop no matter how hard you try. 😢
    My son was a big fan of Weezer as well.
