Overrated
Tinfed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand in cue
Disposing time
As much as one could find
Crowded, packed
Inter-react
Bus them in
Candid fact
Does it make you think that
This is really overrated

Taking trains
Initial plans
Cab what's left of the town
Make you up
1 a.m.
Hours left
Then out again

Does it freak you out that
This is really overrated

Age resolved, invisible
As we become invincible

Now to face
The massive crowd
Mad embrace, system loud
Burning out
Sleep defied
Out again
Tomorrow night





Does it make you think that
This is really overrated

Overall Meaning

The song "Overrated" by Tinfed talks about the idea of chasing after the hype and glamour of a night out or a social event, only to realize that it is overrated and not what it seems to be. The first verse speaks of standing in a queue, wasting time, and being surrounded by a packed crowd of people. The second verse talks about taking trains, making plans, and staying out late, only to find oneself burnt out and sleep-deprived. The chorus of the song asks whether all of these experiences make one think that it is overrated.


The bridge of the song talks about growing older and wiser, as we become invisible, yet more invincible. The final verse speaks of facing a massive crowd with loud music, burning out, and going out again the next night. Overall, the song questions the value of chasing after fleeting experiences, and whether it is worth it in the end.

@hanukkahndor

Listening to this, I feel like a teenager again in an Old Navy fitting room trying on a pair of 10 board shorts.

@runtolifemusic

OMG! I 've been searchng for this album for a decade! wow!! Thank you for share it!

@INTHEACTOFVIOLENCE

such a dope album !

@psychedelicfright85

I'd heard "immune" off the M:I 2 soundtrack as a kid and only yesterday looked up if they had any albums. Very good and obscure band that got lost in the shuffle when the music landscape was changing in 2000.

@aria1339

I found this cd when I was cleaning the other day and I used to listen to it all the time! I saw them with Orgy and Spineshank and it was a great show!

@promisonl3617

I only found out about Tinfed this year, and I was angry with myself for not knowing that Reyka was in this band before Death Valley High. I considered myself the biggest DVH fan but apparently I was being such a bad Reyka fan for not knowing about this lol
