    Interpretation by andrea hinkle
    There's this introvert who moves away from home...that's where the unsupervised part comes into play. Anyway...this person hits their head and gets a concussion or something and the phone rings as they're lying on the floor, possibly bleeding profusely. Anyway...they manage to drag themselves over to pick up the phone and the person on the other end realizes that this person is hurt and calls an ambulance for them. One of the ambulance people (the one who helps the narrator) is named Joe and the narrator really likes this person and wants to be Joe's friend,but joe doesn't want to get involved with people he (or she...Jo could be Jodie...) helped save because it would be eerie. So the narrator goes out and hits his head again, hoping that Joe (or Jo) would be there to help them again...but they're not. And the narrator is so involved in finding Joe (or Jo) that they totally ignore all the other ambulance people that they could be friends with. Finally, Joe (or Jo) realizes what this person is doing and has them put in a um..."mental hospital" (or something) and they "lose their sublet" (this song isn't sung in chronological order) because of Joe (or Jo)...and i guess thats it....

    Interpretation by Marc Shultz
    The song is about someone named Joe who has multiple personality disorder, a condition brought about by some sort of trauma that the song does not really attempt to explain. The trauma is not important however: the song attempts to describe instead the horror, disillusionment, befuddlement, and self-abuse that ensues once one of the personalities, the one hiding the painful memory, becomes dominant when Joe hits his head.
