While it probably has something to do with tours, I think it could also include some metaphors for life… for instance I think the part that goes “It's why we battle, it's why we travel It's why the mascott thinks that I'm an asshole We made the team without puttin on a uniform Smart went nuts and rode a unicorn through the storm” is just generally talking about his motivation in life .. maybe his talented lyrics writing or w/e.. although I like to think of the reason we battle and travel is to find someone we can ‘love’ and appreciate and who’ll respect you…. Kinda corny I guess but im kinda like that…. I think the second half can support it better than the first – I hate line by line analysis but im too lazy to think of a better way to be coherent: “Smart went crazy, kiss Ms. Daisy Loved you when every day was christmas baby” – probably referring to some person that he like worshipped

“Maybe we can take it back to the way we was Still on some "what have you done for me lately"” – reminiscing on how great they got along and all that nonsense.. something probably got inbetween them though

“No gravy if the base is porkface Tourdates ate my big little brother's courtcase” – beats me

“Poor taste got passed up as gourmet This beer is foreplay We'll meet up at your place” – hmm maybe she cheated with someone trashy.. possibly the ‘big little brother’? ^

“I sting like a first divorce, or them first Newports Whatever hurts you more” – ouch so its something that had that special sting of love turned wrong in a marriage or the long term effects of cigarettes or w/e

“"You're headed for self destruction" been there, did that kick back with the wrong angel to fuck with” – probably quoting her.. she blames her for it but hes not going to stand for that since it wasn’t him.. he’s probably the ‘wrong angle to fuck with’

“Carve my charm into your arms Fuck around, unravel this tall ball of yarn” – love that line.. dk what it means.. I like to think the second one can be applied more broadly to unraveling the ball of life but its probably just unraveling all the issues and what not

“Snuck round back to disarm the alarm From the plantation to the reservation to the farms” – some allusion to some personal experience?

“And nobody knows where you'll end up Only guarantee in life is death or a headfuck” – don’t know whats going to happen to you in life (0r after death)

“Yea, you thought it was a set up, well guess what Now you can catch up with the rest of my "Best Of"” -?

“I got a few blocks left before I reach my destionation And retrieve my breath And god blessed every step I stole Just to let me know, she wouldn't ever let me go” – ‘few blocks left’ metaphorically in his life or in this relationship or w/e…. and god blessed his trip the whole way even though it probably included at lot of stuff that hurt that girl or was wrong because.. you know.. he’s god and he does stuff like that… and after all that craziness that girl still loved him

I like listening to this song… I pick up something different every time and its so catchy
