This song was decent, not too bad. Jek21, did you even listen to, and not just hear, One By One? Sure, "Overdrive" isn't a favourite; this song isn't a best; but One By One has a lot of good songs, including "Come Back", a best, in my opinion, vocals, guitar, and all. As with religion and non-religion, agree to disagree.....Anyways, I always thought this was aboot how the Foos don't want to become some mythologized, arrogant band who's sold their soul and lost touch with the actual music or feelings, how they're trying to stay grounded. Think aboot it.....
"The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then...."
--Staying level-headed and other boundaries that would keep their music from its potential (i.e, "is this song too emotional/revealing/offensive?", "is this too acoustic, metal, unstylistic etc...?") is something they dealt with and still deal with and still will.
"I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again..."
--As in, begging for inspiration/emotion to continue making great songs and the need to not become complacent, to take risks and have fun.
"We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride......."
--As in, they'll stay level-headed and grounded, and in touch with reality. Could be wrong, but my analysis seems correct (annotating novels for Advanced English has to count for something...).
