It's some of the best punk rock I've heard, even out of Social Distortion, in a long time, but I'm struggling with the meaning behind these lyrics. The first verse seems to be speaking to punk rock and its scene; the second speaks of the insight music grants its listener in times of love; the third some combination of the two. I identify a lot with the love part, but I have to wonder if Ness is trying to send some sort of anthemic message to 'the scene' and the wave of new bands that have hit it big recently?

Either way, damned good rock'n'roll.
