Train To Miami Lyrics
Left Chicago, left the filth.
Hopped a boxcar, headed south.
Lust with 13 Siamese twins.
Bought for science, kept for skin.
Twenty souls touch themselves.
Lord help them! I help my self.
This is my circle of instant friends.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now.
I'm on assignment for the FBI,
Miami, Florida. Child sacrifice.
The swamp is deep and warm and old.
I think she loves me, I love her too.
Satan brands, and home made tattoos.
You can't believe the things I've seen.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now.
We sit, and drink, all day now.
We sit, and drink, all day now.
The sun beats down outside,
and I can't think of a better reason to.
Too late now, too late to tell me what I've become.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now.
I'm all alone in a big white house, and...
I'm all alone in a big white house, and...
Hopped a boxcar, headed south.
Lust with 13 Siamese twins.
Bought for science, kept for skin.
Twenty souls touch themselves.
Lord help them! I help my self.
This is my circle of instant friends.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now.
Miami, Florida. Child sacrifice.
The swamp is deep and warm and old.
I think she loves me, I love her too.
Satan brands, and home made tattoos.
You can't believe the things I've seen.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,
These are my friends now, these are my friends now.
We sit, and drink, all day now.
The sun beats down outside,
and I can't think of a better reason to.
Too late now, too late to tell me what I've become.
These are my friends now, these are my friends now,

And I think the lyrics point more to him being put in prison. I think he's an undercover FBI agent who gets put into this situation where he has to go to a Florida prison. "Child sacrifice," "Satan brands and home-made tattoos," "You can't believe the things I've seen," and "Cinder block temple" all point in that direction. I think he's saying that by being put in jail for the FBI, the cellmates are his instant friends and he fades into them. He becomes a criminal by participating in prison life and maybe "And I fade" is something in reference to how a lot of deep under cover missions get forgotten and permanently become the character they took on in the mission.
This song was made about the experiences of the band mates in Bozeman and the stories they used to hear from older family members.
Anyone who knows their music will see this.
It's actually telling the story of more than one people and how each story eventually affected one another.
Heard it on the "Left 4 Dead" commercial; got stuck in my head and drove me insane trying to find what song it was!
@splattered paint it was in that commercial because that game was produced by Valve. Follow the clues. Who do you think produces music for Valve?

It's really hard to say what this song means.. I think their are probably several audio clues hidden in the song...
I believe this song could be about 2 things...
"I'm on assignment for the FBI, " leads me to believe that this is actually a cop making a confession of the numerious terrible things your bound to see on duty. This also supports the "you can't believe the things I've seen..."
Zombie outbreak. Even though non of the lyrics support this.. It always lingers in the back of my head. he talks about horrors.. And the repetitive ending "all alone in a big white house.." brings out feelings of isolation and survival. I keep thinking about the movie "Diary of the dead" if any of you have seen that...
Anyway.. I'm interested to hear what you guys think.. I'm sure my 2nd theory spawned because of the left 4 dead game...Let me know what you think..
Just when I thought no one understood the song, it seems not everyone is as brainless. Chrysis88 - you got it right. It's actually your second theory. The song was meant to tell a story of a zombie outbreak. If you pay close attention, the guy is actually from Chicago, somehow joins the FBI in Florida, finds love in the mists and lives there for awhile signifying the "we sit and drink all day". At the end, he must've been bitten by a zombie when he says "Too late now, too late to tell me what I've become", and end up...

At the end, he must've been bitten by a zombie when he says "Too late now, too late to tell me what I've become", and end up in a big, white house to turn into one - that's the end of his story. The song has so much meaning to someone that is a zombie lover. I can understand how it confused most people. And yes - when the song did come out with the Left 4 Dead game, it 'should've' gave away the major clue.
You're a moron.
You're a moron.
This song has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Zombies.

The meaning isn't exactly clear, but if you pay attention to the band's work it's not that difficult to understand. The song is about Morasky and Fluttman's experiences with Fluttman's uncle and the stories he used to tell them about his time in Chicago and how he felt after he moved to Florida. Even though he hated it his whole life, he found Florida to be a boring place where he couldn't do anything but sit at home and drink.

The rest of the lyrics are apparently about...

Zombies, get real.
I'm actually incredibly disgusted that this is their only song on this website and it seems everyone's comments have something to do with Zombies.
It's "Twenty-six souls touch themselves." It refers to 13 Siamese twins (which are really 26 people).
Agreed. When he sings the song live, it is very easy to hear that it is twenty-six not twenty. I don't know why that's a such a common mistake, because though it is hushed, it is CLEARLY not twenty that he is saying.

I think this song is about a man being used for an FBI assignment and having no training on how to cope with all the things hes going through he cant handle it and finaly snapes. he ends up inside a mental instuition for going insane for what hes seen and done
unless you...you know...listen to the band's interpretation.
