Today Mr. Blotto remains one of the most distinctive improvisational regional bands. The group continues to tour, but rarely leaves the Chicago area.
Major influences for the band included The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Widespread Panic to name a few.
Long Way To The Bottom
Mr. Blotto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're the only one I know
That couldn't care for all these roads
And just might go where I might go
Said it's a long ass way back home
And I'm the the only one you know
Never cared for these old roads
I just might go where you might go
We conspired through commercials
And like Adventure Time
You could be my fire princess
And I could die
When you could tell that I am obsessed
And you tell the future like Yuno
Breaking up patterns of matter as you go
We'll purge out the pseudo
Converse midnight blue tones
Until they turn red
Hit the bed and give kudos
It's a long ass way back home
And you're the only one I know
That couldn't care for all these roads
And just might go where I might go
Said it's a long ass way back home
And I'm the the only one you know
Never cared for these old roads
I just might go where you might go
All that I want is for you to get lost
I hope you don't mind it if I come along
You're easy to side with
Don't tell me I'm wrong
Your over excitement is keeping me calm
Lets Find nowhere
Drop a tab
Life out here is not all bad
Far more than I thought I had
Don't take me back
I think Ghibly well portrays
Deepmost tissues of your brain
Spirited ourselves away
All I know is that
It's much better with you
Cigarettes and perfume
And my head was the moon
When you said what you'd do
It's a long ass way back home
And you're the only one I know
That couldn't care for all these roads
And just might go where I might go
Said it's a long ass way back home
And I'm the the only one you know
Never cared for these old roads
I just might go where you might go
The lyrics of Mr. Blotto's "Long Way to the Bottom" tells the story of two people, seemingly in love, who are embarking on a long journey together. They don't care about the roads they take or where they end up because they have each other, which they see as the most important thing. They describe themselves as controversial and pursued each other even during commercials. The reference to Adventure Time shows how they view each other as an ideal match, with one being a fire princess and the other being obsessed with her. The line "Breaking up patterns of matter as you go" could suggest that they are not just two people but rather forces of nature that are changing everything around them. They are purging out the pseudo and converse midnight blue tones, which means they are clearing out false ideas and shedding the old parts of themselves. The lyrics mention that they find comfort in each other and that "All that I want is for you to get lost." They want to continue their journey together, away from the world and back to themselves.
Overall, "Long Way to the Bottom" is a love song about two people who are not afraid to take on the world together. They are willing to take the long and winding road back home because they have each other. They see themselves as forces of nature, as purgers of false things, and as each other's ideal match.

Never cared for these old roads
I am not interested in the old roads
I just might go where you might go
I am willing to go wherever you go
We could be so controversial
Together, we could be unconventional and nonconformist
We conspired through commercials
We made plans together while watching TV ads
And like Adventure Time
Our relationship is like the cartoon Adventure Time
You could be my fire princess
You are the one that ignites my passion
And I could die
Your presence makes me so happy that I feel like I could die
When you could tell that I am obsessed
You are able to tell that I am deeply infatuated with you

You are able to predict the future like the character Yuno from an anime
Breaking up patterns of matter as you go
You have the ability to break down physical matter
We'll purge out the pseudo
Together, we will eliminate the fake and unimportant things in our lives
Converse midnight blue tones
We will talk about deep and emotional subjects late into the night
Until they turn red
Until our feelings become intense and passionate
Hit the bed and give kudos
We should be proud of our accomplishments and have a good night's sleep
All that I want is for you to get lost
I want you to let go of your inhibitions and just be yourself

I want to be with you on this journey
Your over excitement is keeping me calm
Your enthusiasm is making me feel more relaxed
Lets Find nowhere
Let's go on an adventure without a particular destination in mind
Drop a tab
Let's take a psychedelic drug
Life out here is not all bad
The world is not all negative
Far more than I thought I had
I have found more than what I was looking for
Don't take me back
I don't want to leave this moment
I think Ghibli well portrays
I think Studio Ghibli's art reflects
Deepmost tissues of your brain
The innermost thoughts and feelings of your mind
Spirited ourselves away
We have gone on an exciting and adventurous journey away from reality
All I know is that
The only thing I am certain of is that
It's much better with you
Life is so much better when I am with you
Cigarettes and perfume
The smell of smoke and perfume
And my head was the moon
I am feeling very dreamy and spacey
When you said what you'd do
When you told me what you wanted to do
