| The Starting Line – Hurry Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think this song refers to the writing and final mixing of b.o.a.t.s. They want him to hurry and come up with the songs, and now he's waiting around for them to finish the final mixing. They both have a lot to lose if it's not done soon. That's why his glands are swollen (recording), and now he he has nothing to do with his time. He can't wait to get back to touring. | |

I also have a similar take on the song. I've got stars in my great big sky I shall gaze upon without leaving small ones behind Because they're harder to find This could be referring to all the bands out there with him right now. There are many, some are big and some are small, but he’ll stick behind the small ones because they’re harder to find. Some were satellites, others planes Some were twinkling while other were fadin' away But they're all one-of-a-kind Some were floating, while some soared, and some were just getting, or in the middle of their limelight, while others were fading out. But they’re all great in their own way. It's not that interesting But I'd like to keep it a secret So I'll have something left to give Maybe this is referring to all of the songs he’s written, yet haven’t been released. He’d like to have something left to share with everyone in the future. It's not that difficult When you've got a luck of this kind We've gotta take advantage We've got such limited time Could be referring to how lucky he feels to be on a label with people he loves and able to produce the music he wants to produce. But they’ve got to hurry and make it before it’s too late. Oh, I wonder Oh, I wonder how long it'll take me to die It's not that interesting But I'd like to keep it a secret So I'll have something left to give Could be referring to how he wonders how long it’ll be before no one listens to them anymore. And I'll hear my children and grandchildren sing Could refer to future generations of music. |
