The general idea of this song is that the person Rivers writes of is alone, and alienated from society. He wants to love and have friends, but it’s hard for him as he doesn’t like people.
[Verse 1]
All of my conversations die a painful death you see
I can't get anyone to do algebra with me
It's hard to make real friends, my friends have lots of friends
I don't hang out enough, take drugs and learn to love
[Chorus]
This intercom is broken into pieces
I gotta call my QB Blitz, B Blitz
Out on the ice fields of Hoth, I'll be
I'll be missing you like oxygen (xygen)
Whoah whoah whoah
I'll be missing you like oxygen
[Verse 2]
I want to have the feeling someone's in love with me
You gotta choose between the internet and me
People don't bring me joy, I think you get the point
I'm on an epic quest, pursuit of happiness
[Chorus]
This intercom is broken into pieces
I gotta call my QB Blitz, B Blitz
Out on the ice fields of Hoth, I'll be
I'll be missing you like oxygen (xygen)
Whoah whoah whoah
I'll be missing you like oxygen
[Bridge]
Sing for the moment, little place on the ocean
In the middle of a snowdrift, we're alone in the universe
Sing for the moment, put a paper lantern over the light
Sing for the moment
[Chorus]
This intercom is broken into pieces
I gotta call my QB Blitz, B Blitz
Out on the ice fields of Hoth, I'll be
I'll be missing you like oxygen (xygen)
Whoah whoah whoah
I'll be missing you like oxygen
QB Blitz was written by Rivers Cuomo.
QB Blitz was produced by Butch Walker.
According to Rivers Cuomo in 2017:
[Pacific Daydream producer Butch Walker is] our age, he’s our generation, he’s a real rock guy. But he didn’t grow up on Weezer, he’s not enamored of the OG Weezer sound, and he’s very knowledgeable about the history of rock guitar. He has all these great guitars...
