They’ve answered their own questions with a resounding yes through a packed itinerary of shows and a handful of recordings that are among the rawest musical experiences of the new decade. Combining reckless improvisational energy with the combined skills of four deadly sharp musicians, OFF! have dug down through a decades’ worth of accumulated stylistic garbage, and rediscovered the stripped down core of noise, speed, and rock & roll that punk seemed to have lost forever.

OFF! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now it's time for me to extinguish the flame
But that's alright cause I wouldn't have it any other way
I had a blast
I had a blast
On an ounce of talent my into the ground
And then I stood and watched as the others wore the crown
But that's alright cause I wouldn't have it any other way
I had a blast
I had a blast
I had a blast
I had a blast
I had a blast
The lyrics to OFF!'s song Blast convey a sense of acceptance and defiance towards fame and success. The first two lines of the song capture the idea that the singer has already had their moment of fame and now feels it is time to move on. The line "But that's alright cause I wouldn't have it any other way" shows that the singer is not bitter or resentful about their time in the spotlight ending. Instead, they seem to be content with the experience they had and ready to move forward.
The second verse expands on this idea by highlighting the singer's lack of traditional talent. The line "On an ounce of talent my into the ground" suggests that the singer may have relied more on charisma or personality than any specific skill or talent. The final line of the verse "But that's alright cause I wouldn't have it any other way" reinforces the idea that the singer is not looking for sympathy or regret over their lack of success.
Overall, the song's message seems to be that success and fame are often fleeting and that it's important to find joy and fulfillment in the moments one has in the spotlight. The sense of satisfaction and contentment conveyed in the lyrics is refreshing and suggests that there is more to life than just chasing after fame and fortune.
