Small Town Rebels
Blisterhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't get enough of all the small town stuff
We're always looking for a good time
But what can we do, there's no place for me and you
All the local small town bands they play the same old songs
All the local small town drunks they're drinking all day long
I am standing here, I see the world fly by
Where are we going tonight?
Go - Three, Four
We are the small town rebels
I might leave my small town but hear me when I say
I will come back some day
When I'm looking for a good time
You can never keep me away
All the local small town bands they play the same old songs
All the local small town drunks they're drinking all day long
I am standing here, I see the world fly by
Where are we going tonight?
The lyrics to "Small Town Rebels" by Blisterhead expresses the idea of growing up in a small town, and feeling stuck there. The song speaks to the rebellious nature of wanting to break out of the mold and be free from the small town lifestyle, while still feeling attached to its unique character. The lyrics are a celebration of the good times that come with this lifestyle, and the desire to hold onto those memories.
The opening line "We were born in a small town" sets the tone for the song, highlighting the idea of being rooted in a place with limited options for growth. The chorus, "We are the small town rebels", encourages listeners to embrace their unique perspective and use it as a guide for finding their way in the world. The song also touches on the idea of leaving a small town, but feeling a pull to return; the nostalgia is alluring, and the memories of simpler times linger long after one leaves.
The repetitive chorus, "All the local small town bands they play the same old songs, all the local small town drunks they're drinking all day long," captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle that never seems to change, and the longing for something more. The song is ultimately an anthem for those who find themselves feeling trapped in a small town, but also take pride in their roots and are determined to create their own path.
