Methuselah Rookie Card
Snowing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm dazed on your front lawn tonight.
I'll drive home screaming at the Drive-In.
and I've been driving
this thing for too long,
and on and on and the point is etc.
and I will explode if I don't.
Believe me, that I know.
I've been living like a sailor,
my sea legs are wearing down.
I've been living like a sailor,
my sea legs are wearing down.
The first verse of Snowing's song "Methuselah Rookie Card" depicts the singer's sense of being lost and indecisive, as they find themselves dazed on someone's front lawn at night.

The repetition of "and on and on and the point is etc." conveys the singer's ongoing struggle in trying to find direction in their life, as they have been driving for too long without a clear destination.
The second verse speaks to the singer's intense feelings of desire for the person they are with, as they indicate that they might explode if they do not kiss the person now. This highlights the urgency and intensity of the singer's emotions. The repetition of "I've been living like a sailor" suggests that the singer has been recklessly living their life like a sailor on a ship, which has depleted them both physically ("my sea legs are wearing down") and emotionally.
Overall, the song Methuselah Rookie Card appears to be a reflection of a person's search for meaning and direction in their life, while also exploring themes of desire and urgency.

there are two songs in existence that can get me so pumped, that I have the urge to randomly jump around flailing my arms, and start thrashing with air guitar...every single time I hear it. one is transatlantic foe by at the drive in, and the other is methuselah rookie card, and it's fucking awesome that snowing gives a shoutout to atdi in this song
