Cover art for Tribute lyrics by 311

It's about motivation. Sometimes you lose your motivation and expect something to excite you back to your normal self. It's about how you shouldn't put your expectations so high to where good things become disappointments:

"you're unmotivated, you're sorta faded but the remedy is not so get on with what you got"

It's also about how you shouldn't second guess yourself all the time. You might make no mistakes, but you won't learn, you won't have fun, and nobody else around you will either:

"Once I met a man who made nearly no mistakes he would never bet on a longshot and he'd never bet on a break and he's condescending and talks gossip galore but the dude was definently such a bore"

I'm relating to this song so much right now it's scary. :)
