Cover art for Tripoli lyrics by Matthew Good Band

I agree with OrangeSteamboat, but to take it further i think it deals with a breakup and maybe the feeling of self destruction. "Best to defile, best to stay sleeping, in a while, i will awake to be a has been" I will awake to be a has been, seems very sad, but i love the humility. Also, i like how it changes in the second bridge from car keys, to heart keys. it's subtle but i always get caught on that line, "when i lost your heart key, strange how your not with me" it happens to us all, makes ya think for at least a half hour, just on one line, brilliant.
