Todd Kowalski: This song is written by Chris [and] is about your own laziness and personal conformity and a yearning to rise out of a preoccupation with yourself. You’re watching TV or sports or, in my case it’d be excessive [time spent] listening to Razor. It’s about trying to get out and do something to make the world better rather than marinating in your juices at home. So many people spend too much time getting wasted and doing things that aren’t really helping anybody. They’re not creative, they’re not doing anything for themselves or anybody else. It’s just a note to self to go and do something.
