Trainwreck
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming right down the line
The pistons fire away
But theyґre never in time
The consequences
Lye at every bend
The end, the end, the end
Crashing right into every joint
The engine demands more gasoline to fire
Get higher and higher and higher
Back and forth your core is shaking
Locking wheels the cars go breaking
Derailing into this crowded platform
The wheels are greased
But the motors seized
The journey never gets made in god-speed
A whole lifetime of rolling in the wrong
Direction, direction...
Riding the rails
Pulling out the nails
Smoke and dust is all that trails
The end never justifyґs the means
You see
Youґre a train wreck
Tangled on these tracks
And you ainґt coming back
Cause you rolled right off the line
Train wreck
Down to your last breath
To the bitter end
Because you rolled right off the line
The Generators' song Trainwreck is a powerful rock ballad about a train that's lost control and is heading towards certain disaster. The lyrics are a metaphor for someone who's lost their way in life and is careening towards destruction. The opening lyrics describe a train that's "coming right down the line," but "the pistons fire away, but they're never in time." The consequences are dire and lie at every bend, indicating that something terrible is about to happen.
The next verse is a vivid description of the train crashing into every joint, demanding more gasoline to fire and get higher and higher. The imagery of broken and cracked points, locking wheels, and derailing into a crowded platform is intense and creates a feeling of impending doom. The chorus repeats that the end never justifies the means, and the subject of the song is compared to a train wreck that's tangled on the tracks, unable to come back from the damage.
The final verse speaks directly to the subject of the song, saying, "you're a train wreck, tangled on these tracks, and you ain't coming back." The allusion to running out of gas, down to one's last breath, gives the song a sense of finality and the bitter end. The overall message of the song is a warning against recklessness and the need to reform before it's too late.

The train's pistons are not properly synchronized
The consequences
The negative effects
Lye at every bend
Are present at every turn in the tracks
The end, the end, the end
The inevitable conclusion of the train's journey
Broken and cracked at every point
The train is damaged and compromised throughout its structure
Crashing right into every joint
The train collides with the track's connection points
The engine demands more gasoline to fire
The engine requires additional fuel to create combustion
Get higher and higher and higher
The train continues to speed up, despite its issues
Back and forth your core is shaking
The train's internal structure is unstable and moving chaotically
Locking wheels the cars go breaking
The train's wheels are seizing up and causing the cars to break away
Derailing into this crowded platform
The train is crashing and causing destruction at a station
The wheels are greased
The train's wheels have been lubricated
But the motors seized
However, the engine has stopped working
The journey never gets made in god-speed
The train never reaches its desired speed
A whole lifetime of rolling in the wrong direction, direction...
The train has been headed in the wrong direction for a long time
Riding the rails
Operating on the tracks
Pulling out the nails
Removing the supports that keep the tracks in place
Smoke and dust is all that trails
The train leaves behind smoke and debris
The end never justify's the means
The conclusion of the train's journey does not make up for the negative impacts it had
You're a train wreck
You are a disaster, like a train that has derailed
Tangled on these tracks
Stuck and unable to move on the rail system
And you ain't coming back
There is no returning from the current state of disaster
Cause you rolled right off the line
The train went off the tracks
Down to your last breath
The train is almost destroyed and beyond repair
To the bitter end
The train will continue on until it can't move any longer
Because you rolled right off the line
The train went off the tracks
