Cover art for Adina lyrics by Rancid

I think this is about a guy who travels and sees different people and different things, but i guess there's a girl who he unintentionally keeps on meeting who is in an abusive relationship with drugs involved. "I want to go where the action is, I wanna fly through the urban blight I wanna live like a shadow in the dark and only move at night" the guy is constantly looking for something happening whether it be good or bad. he is just constantly looking down a bad neighborhood, he only goes there at night though.
"How did she know the roof would cave in over and over again Beat up bruised a record that's broken" theres always something happening to her that is just repeating like a broken record. "Adina's crying again Beat up chevy with a trailer in tow is what they call home now One more hill or river to cross on the way to another town Crying in her beer and always running away Maybe not so much running, but hoping for better days" The girls name is Adina and all she does is just cry about it and move on. She uses alcohol as a coping mechanism to feel better about her situation, yet she wont take charge to change something. "21 years old and no money to read" she is too poor to do anything
