| Whatever It Takes – Both Can't Survive Lyrics | 15 years ago |

My favorite song from these guys! I think this song is about the punk movement and its history. In the first stanza, the lead singer compares something (what I believe is punk) to a rusted car with a bunch of reckless drunk kids behind the wheel. Perhaps this can be seen as the early punk movement as the late 70s and early 80s when nobody knew what the hell they were doing, The second stanza compares punk to a paddle boat sinking in the middle of the ocean but which has a crew dedicated enough to keep the boat from sinking. This could be the punk of the 90s to present when the movement started to die out but still had many loyal followers. Finally, the third stanza compares the future of punk to a plane crash. Eventually the scene is going to die out but not without a strong fight from the remaining members (the other passengers). |

Everybody says this song is about his hometown and getting to know yourself but I'm not certain that this is what he means. This song has a negative undertone, not positive. Whatever he is talking about he's talking down upon. He compares the knowledge of the lights changing to watching teeth being pulled, something that I would think is bad... unless people from the NorthEast do some weird shit for fun. He also refers to a bad fight. More correctly, your (or their) bad fight. He even says that he's going to lose this bad fight but seems to be comfortable with that since he is on the "good" team. In short, I think the song is about how his view of society has changed from something simple and good when he was younger to something which he no longer understands and believes is bad. Then again, I may have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Just food for thought |
