Q: Is going down to the mall, realizing it was closed, a true story in la de da de da de da de day oh?
A: it's based on a real life experience, almost. this is what really happened: one day i started to notice that a lot of stores at the mall were closing, and moving out of the mall. the mall was still open, but most of the stores had shut down. i didn't see or hear of any explanation for this. also it was a mall that i really liked going to.  so there's this very mild subtle feeling of cold apocalyptic abandonment
