Cover art for El Salvador lyrics by Athlete

I'd like to think that was what it was about, it's such a good album opener! I think it's being features on the soundtrack for Zach Braff's new film, which is cool. Also think it could relate to dissillusionment with being in a rock band?

first class and big hotels [i can't quite put my finger on it] videos and global sales [i can't quite put my finger on it] free drinks that you pay yourself [i can't quite put my finger on it]

All the things that get thrown at you when some big labels see promise in your band but the writer can see that it's all a little bit fake and put-on...?
