Song's meaning is pretty straight forward.
Being a band that's trying to make their mark SUCKS. Tour van breaking down, driving for hundreds of miles, eating bad food, unbathed, and tired.
And when you finally get to the gig, you find yourself playing to a handful of people who couldn't care to see you play anyway.
And then, you start playing, and that washes away, and you kinda remember why you wanted to do this in the first place: it's to play the music. And you lose yourself in it.
And maybe, just maybe, you connect with just one or two individuals in the crowd -- like the couple in the back who don't have the hardened cynicism the rest of the crowd has.
