I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Somethin' tells me I'll never
Be close to another like you
Helped me through the things
That we all go through.
You make every song sound better,
Taught me how to write a letter
I think everyone should get along
Like me and my first stereo
Oops, I'm in trouble again.
Should of listened to them
Back to my room and then we're safe now
Feels like when we were ten,
In my room listenin'
To some Michael Jackson, relaxin'
And you used to sing me to sleep
And always stood behind me
You saw me off when I had to go
My first true love was my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
Everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
Nothing can compete with my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
Nobody's perfect just like me
Into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playin' next on the radio?
Green light, outta my way
Seems like just yesterday
That you played me my very first mix tape
Gave me the courage to say what I wanted to say
When it never comes you that way
My First stereo, my first stereo
Be close to another like you
Helped me through the things
That we all go through.
You make every song sound better,
Taught me how to write a letter
I think everyone should get along
Like me and my first stereo
Oops, I'm in trouble again.
Should of listened to them
Back to my room and then we're safe now
Feels like when we were ten,
In my room listenin'
To some Michael Jackson, relaxin'
And you used to sing me to sleep
And always stood behind me
You saw me off when I had to go
My first true love was my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
Everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never rejects me, always accepts me
Nothing can compete with my first stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
Nobody's perfect just like me
Into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's playin' next on the radio?
Green light, outta my way
Seems like just yesterday
That you played me my very first mix tape
Gave me the courage to say what I wanted to say
When it never comes you that way
My First stereo, my first stereo

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song rocks. Totally. He's just very clearly paying tribute to his first ever stereo. At first, you'd think it's a girl he's singing about, but when it gets to the chorus, you realise he loves his stereo, and that it's always there for him, and that nothing, not even a girl "can compete with [his] first stereo".
Lol wow i cant belive their are even two posts about such a rare band. they should come out with a new album. get themselvs known more. if they dont thier are othe punk christian bands....."Relient K"
romo, they DO have another album. silly.
that was posted on 11th martch 2006, noone knew about citically ashamed at that time I don't believe.
they are not christian punk, just a pop punk bands with some christian meanings. This is a comparison about how we should all get along, in perfect harmony and without any conflict. Just like trevor and his first stereo.
catchyy shit son!
Meh i agree. Music is deffo my love xD
lol I love this song. It's just about how he loved his first stereo cause music got him through alot.
FM Static isn't quite as awesome as Thousand Foot Krutch, but Trevor is amazing in both bands.
It's kinda funny, actually. I think this is a great song--very catchy, fun, etc. My sister owns--and loves--the CD, so I hear it enough. I like the song--BUT listening to the lyrics--this guy's a LOSER!
"Everyone wants, everyone needs, everyone hurts sometimes like me It never rejects me, always accepts me nothing can compete with my first stereo..... Somethin' tells me I'll never be close to another like you helped me throught the things that we all go through."
That's so...pathetic. Anyways, that's my harsh little interpretation...;-)
