I was wondering what this song was about for a long time. Then I went to a World/Inferno show, where they performed it and suddenly it clicked. This song is about the punks! This song is about heading out to a show, staying out way too late and getting back home a total wreck, which is exactly how that night went for me. I literally fell asleep with my boots on and woke up feeling aged when the night was over. It also touches on the way a punk show operates, where everyones crushed together as a big crowd. If you've ever gone to a concert with a mohawk, you know what "stepping out all dressed and returning all fucked up" is all about. But mainly, I think its about people coming together from small towns and cities far and wide to share a good time.
lets see, what else.
"You get hit pretty hard moving so damn fast": Probably refering to slamdancing.
"singing Laments and rowdy songs, hymns about sin": what a lot of punk rock songs are about
There are other songs that touch on the punk community on this albumn too, such as "Me and the Mad Monkettes" and "So long to the circus"
It's also about the strange way we all grow up. Some of us spent our childhoods outside, others(like Terricloth) were somewhat antisocial and spent our time indoors for the most part until we hit our teens, which is where we start acting on our punk instincts(shoplifting, sometimes running away from home, others try to endure and end up spending their time in their rooms, until they do something crazy).

The punk life isn't for everyone, but everyone in the Inferno scene seems to have a connection that is well hidden and strong enough to keep us together, come...
