What is this song about?
It is kind of driving me crazy.
It is by Pedro the Lion and here are the lyrics: "roll me over i wanna wave at the kids i can't say i prescribe cause i don't know what it is i'm down at the track i'm just calling to check in if you start without me say my name as you begin it's not like it wasn't all for you but like evrything i do it's misunderstood take a message i'm on my way out of town but the wording's important so make sure you write it down there's money behind every picture in the place sincerely your husband on my way to the next race if it's once i got it if it's twice i don't" I looked on song some meanings sites and everyone says it is about a problem gambler, which doesn't make sense. I've always assumed that it was about a racecar driver or something similar. Note: David Bazan usually doesn't have cryptic meanings in his lyrics, so it probably isn't impossible to figure out. |

Seems sorta like Springsteen's Atlantic City.
Isn't Achilles' Heel kind of a concept album about a husband getting fed up with middle class family life? |

Re: What is this song about?
OP - I don't know if I'm way off base here, but to me this song is about how we all live our own secret lives. Everyone has that dark side that they struggle to keep from revealing their true self. I don't know where I'm going with this, but it's something I've been thinking about more these days.
