My Trains
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My basement, uh.
Gonna show you my beautiful basement.
Where the concrete floor feels cool to the touch.
I'll turn up the heat if it's too much.
I'll turn on the lightbulb on the wire.
Turn on the dehumidifier.
I'm serious when I flick this next switch.
Look you in the eye, and I say, "Check this."

My trains, uh.
My trains, uh.
I got small ones. Tiny little trains.
I come down here just to get away.
My trains, uh.
My trains, uh.
It's like magic. Magic trains.
I wish these trains could take me away.

(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)

In the club, the Model Railroad Club,
A motherfucker said shit about my trains.
Might as well have took a shit on my brain
Cuz I went insane.
I laid track on his ass with a styrofoam bat.
But the president never did let me back after that.
Shit, I said, "Fuck you.
Who the fuck needs a punk ass choo-choo crew anyhoo?"
My trains, uh.
My trains, uh.
I got small ones. Tiny little trains.
I come down here just to get away.
My trains, uh.
M-m-m-m-my trains, uh.
It's like magic. Magic trains.
I wish these trains could take me away.

(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)

I lie here every night.
I feel like if I focus
And think of getting smaller
I'll gradually get smaller.
And if I get small enough
My trains will seem much bigger
And I'll be the conductor.
The tiniest conductor.

OH!
Then whatchu gonna do?
Then whatchu gonna do?
Whatchu gonna do then, huh?
Whatchu gonna do?
Whatchu gonna do?
Whatchu gonna do when I'm fucking small
Like one inch tall
You won't see me coming at all
When I crawl into your ear late at night
Yeah, you heard me right motherfucker, sleep tight
And you think I'm just another bad dream
But I'm a tiny little man in your bloodstream
Little hands hold an artery shut
Yeah, that's right motherfucker, then what?

My trains.
My trains.
My trains, uh.
My trains, uh.
I got small ones. Tiny little trains.
I come down here just to get away.
My trains, uh.
My trains, uh.
They're like magic. Magic trains.
I wish these trains could take me away.
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
My trains.
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
My trains.
(Chugga chugga woo-woo)
My trains.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lemon Demon’s song “My Trains” speak about the artist’s basement, where he keeps his small model trains. The concrete floor of the basement feels cool to the touch, and the artist even turns on the dehumidifier to ensure that the basement is the perfect place for his trains. The trains are his escape from the world, where he can shrink down and become their conductor. In the Model Railroad Club, the artist was once insulted about his trains, leading to a violent outburst where he hit someone with a styrofoam bat. From that incident on, he no longer associates with the club, instead retreating to his basement and his trains.


The song seems to be an ode to a hobby that has become a refuge from the harshness of the world. Through the trains, the artist can escape and become something greater than himself. However, the lyrics also have a dark side, with the artist imagining a scenario where he can shrink down and become one with the trains, using his small size to wreak havoc on those who have wronged him.


Overall, “My Trains” is a quirky song that touches on the themes of escapism, nostalgia, and violence. It shows the power that a simple hobby can hold over a person, and how it can take on a life of its own.

I like to imagine that this whole song is Neil talking to a blind date and showing off his trains, and while initially the woman is intrigued by Neil’s passion, he eventually starts to get more erratic and violent until the woman is forced to flee the building
