I think it's about being in a small town where all people ever do is gosip about the crap that everyone else has gotten in to, and being in a depression, so it's saying "Fuck it! Fuck them! Get famous! Work your ass off, and make something out of this nothingness. Give them something real and awesome to bitch about!"
My favorite lines are:
"you stand to the side
when the amtrak speeds by
close our eyes and pretend
that it's going to hit us
and try to decide
as the amtrak speeds by
to live or die, to live or die
well, oh well"
I don't know how to explain, but there's something about putting yourself at the brink of danger and closing your eyes, knowing that you hold the weight of a life-or-death choice in your hand.exhilarating
