lyrics 1
This song is a story about traveling salesmen from the post Civil War era exploiting the poverty that followed (we've all taken Jr. High social studies). The basic theme of the story is to point out that a person is a salesman most of the day, selling their personal brand, to members of the opposite sex, or same sex for that matter, co-workers, friends, etc. It's also about the fact that we, most of the time, pretend that this type of interaction doesn't exist. I'm not saying that it's a good or bad thing (that theme will run throughout the record) just pointing it out. Some sexual encounters are good examples of this because this pitch is so exaggerated but not acknowledged, and may end up more resembling a political debate. That's where the line "You and I are just Charlatans" originated.
I'm gonna leave the rest up to interpretation but if you have any questions feel free to message us or ask at a show. We'll be posting more dates in a few days. The release date should be coming soon as well.
