Jump The Rails
Puffball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Placed in a cage for selling guns and stealing cars.
Still I am grateful for the things they didn't know.
Like the hell I raised when down in Mexico.
Blood for blood, got to stay on their tails, 'cause only one prevails.
Speeding the ways, chewing my nails.
Far from tales, forget about bails.
Used my one single phone call to call Vinne the Snail.
I said "Gimme protection, they've put me in jail".
My ass was the target for the freaks in the pen.
I could have handled 1, in here I faced like 10.
Blood for blood, got to stay on their tails, 'cause only one prevails.
Speeding the ways, chewing my nails.
No way out, jump the rails.
Far from tales, forget about bails.
The lyrics to Puffball's song "Jump The Rails" tell the story of a person who has been imprisoned for committing crimes such as selling guns and stealing cars. The singer seems to have accepted his fate, but still remains grateful for the things that remain unknown to law enforcement, such as the chaos caused by him when he was in Mexico. The singer then talks about the difficulties he faces in prison, such as being a target for other inmates. In order to survive, he calls upon Vinne the Snail for protection.
The chorus of the song sets the tone for the entire narrative, stating that it's a dog-eat-dog world and only the strongest can survive. The singer seems to be in a constant state of anxiety, chewing his nails and with no way out of his situation. Despite all the challenges he faces, the singer seems to be determined to prevail and ultimately "jump the rails" to freedom. The song's lyrics are straightforward, but they convey a compelling narrative that speaks to the challenges of survival in a hostile world.
