Lyrics
My brain, it was all blocked up
Expressing mental blockage or confusion
Feeling out of sorts
Feeling disordered or not in the usual state
The words they would not come
Struggling to articulate thoughts verbally
I met a guy on the train
Encountering a person on a train
Who had a few kind words
Encountering kindness through words
The nicest dude
Describing the person as genuinely nice
Showed me his "ante up" tattoo
Observing a tattoo with the words "ante up"
It's kind of wild the people who we will find
Reflecting on the diverse people one encounters
Some that you don't even know
Meeting people, including strangers
With just the tiniest boost
Small encouragements can make a significant impact
Will help see you through
Support can help navigate challenges
This world will jump up to surprise you
Life's surprises can be uplifting
Reminds me not to lose hope
Advising not to lose hope in humanity
On humanity yet
Emphasizing the positive aspects of humanity
Reminds me that I am as lucky
Acknowledging personal fortune
As lucky can get
Expressing extreme luck
So I told him that I was having the hardest time
Sharing personal difficulties and struggles
Felt like everything I wrote
Experiencing a creative block or repetition
Was something I wrote before
Feeling a lack of originality in one's work
He told me, don't give up
Receiving advice not to give up
Keep the pen to the page and the word's they'll come
Encouragement to continue writing despite challenges
So that is what I'm gonna do
Committing to persist in creative efforts
Maybe I was wrong and I will never be alone
Considering the possibility of being wrong about loneliness
All because we wrote these punk rock songs
Attributing connection to writing punk rock songs
And god-damn that's pretty crazy
Expressing awe or disbelief at the impact of songs
So fucking amazing
Highlighting the amazing and powerful nature of creativity
