Cover art for Out of Breath lyrics by Silversun Pickups

I think it's sort of a statement of purpose. Going forward, the Pickups are going to be musical pioneers rather than followers. No more Smashing Pumpkins comparisons.

Neck of the Woods was their most sonically diverse album yet, and with this song as the last track I think they're saying that they're going to push boundaries even further with their next one.

"I’ve made my mind up, my mind up And I could care less who’s turned off"

He's gotten tired of doing the same thing over and over again. He wants to make his own music rather than what critics expect of him at this point.
