Lyrics
Hardcore and feeling retro
Expressing a strong commitment or enthusiasm for a particular style, possibly associated with a past era.
It feels so faux, it feels so hollow
The experience feels artificial and lacking in substance.
Not better than the first time
Suggesting that the current experience is not as good as the first one.
But better than the last
Improvement compared to the previous experience.
We're feeling sentimental
Emotionally connected to memories or the past.
Hey, oh, lets go
A reference to the energetic punk anthem "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones, possibly indicating a desire for action.
Mainstream strikes a pose and
Mainstream culture adopts a specific stance and influences the music scene.
Infects the scene
The influence of mainstream culture appears to be negative or impure.
It seems so unclean
Commenting on the perceived lack of cleanliness or authenticity in the music scene influenced by mainstream culture.
Viva mexi-Japa...
A playful reference to Mexican and Japanese cultures, possibly emphasizing a return to a carefree attitude.
To get right back to your ha ha
To return to a state of laughter or joy.
Words last
The impact of words, possibly lyrics, endures over time.
Like these songs
Comparing the lasting quality of words to that of songs.
Lodged in our heads
Memorable songs remain in our thoughts.
So long, so long, yeah
Expressing a prolonged duration of memories or influence.
So long, so long, so long
Reiteration of the enduring nature of memories or influence.
Blast off corner new worlds
Launching into new experiences confidently.
And say hands off
Asserting ownership and protection of their musical space.
This is our band
Emphasizing the collective identity and belonging to a specific musical community.
Overdrive is slippin'
The intensity or excitement is diminishing.
And so is our grip
The control over the situation is slipping away.
We're feeling sentimental
Similar to line 5, expressing a connection to past experiences or sentiments.
Hey, oh, lets go
A repetition of line 6, possibly urging action or a change in direction.
Save us
An appeal for salvation or rescue.
We'll come and go like reunion tours stuck in ruins
Describing a transient existence similar to reunion tours that fade into obscurity.
Islands in the desert we'll sink
A metaphorical sinking, possibly representing challenges or difficulties.
But all we have to do is sit and wait
Patience is required; things will eventually improve.
And words last
Reiteration of the enduring impact of words, akin to songs.
Like these songs
Restating the lasting quality of impactful words.
They're lodged in our heads
The persistence of certain thoughts or influences in our minds.
So long, so long, yeah
Repetition of the idea of enduring memories or influences.
So long, so long, so long
Emphasizing the long-lasting impact of memories or influences.
