The Faster The Treadmill Lyrics
Sun goes down
Sun comes up
Days can drown in a plastic cup
In this town, in this town
Don't know how
Don't know when
Something came but it left again
And I'm down, on this town
'Cause no matter what I see
People love to disagree
Every time I say what I wanna be
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreamin'
Grab your things the train is leavin'
Time to pick that somewhere you wanna go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing
Sun goes up
And down again
Its hard to stop feeling broken in
And worn down, by this town
All the same
You find me here
Placing blame and escaping fear
And self doubt, in this town
But no matter where I go
People love to tell me no
Every time I say what I wanna be
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreaming
Grab your things the train is leaving
Time to pick that somewhere you wanna go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing
Every time I say what I wanna be
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreaming
Grab your things the train is leaving
If you feel like nobody understands you
Just smile and pray that they clap their hands
Come on baby drown your sorrow
Work today and live tomorrow
Time to pick that somewhere you wanna go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing
Sun comes up
Days can drown in a plastic cup
In this town, in this town
Don't know when
Something came but it left again
And I'm down, on this town
People love to disagree
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreamin'
Grab your things the train is leavin'
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing
And down again
Its hard to stop feeling broken in
And worn down, by this town
You find me here
And self doubt, in this town
People love to tell me no
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreaming
Grab your things the train is leaving
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing
Someone says that's not how its gonna be
Come on baby quit your dreaming
Grab your things the train is leaving
Just smile and pray that they clap their hands
Come on baby drown your sorrow
Work today and live tomorrow
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Think this song is about how some parts of society like to crush dreams so as to keep the status quo. and that if you try you can still reach your dreams.
I agree, and so does their official music video for this song.

Beautiful song, very inspirational message. The message is that Life is antagonistic, and society will always be ready to hold you back. If you keep yourself down, you are setting yourself up to be depressed. Life is happening and you need to see it. Time is slipping away and before you know it you may become engulfed by it, "drown in the undertow" Take your chances, go live out your dreams - do it before you miss your chances. Live it and enjoy yourself.
I think its about escaping the rat race. Anyone who has ever had a mundane office job will be able to relate to this track Oh, and its awesome.
