TRAIN
Train (igetmp3.us) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been dying to say
You already know this
I'll never be the same
I've been going
I've been goin' insane
And at this rate
I'll probably cave
This time it's off
Instinct
This time it ain't
Off beat
Lately I've been out of key
I could use harmony
If I could
Offer some words of advice
A piece of my mind
Hold onto the hate
And mold it
Let the fire inside
Flourish
And by the time we're done
By the time we're done
There won't be
Anything left
Hold onto the hate
Hold onto the hate
And mold it
Let the fire inside
Flourish
And by the time we're done
By the time we're done
There won't be
Anything left
In this song, Train sings about the overwhelming feeling of insanity and trying to keep it together, with a hint of a call to action to channel the negative emotions towards something productive. The first few lines suggest that the singer has been holding back something they’ve been wanting to say for a long time. They mention feeling unstable or “insane” and that, at the current pace, they might break.
The chorus carries a message of harnessing the hate and anger inside to fuel a purpose. The lines "Hold onto the hate and mold it, let the fire inside flourish" give insight into what the singer is trying to convey. By holding onto the negative emotions and feeding the flames, it can lead to something meaningful and life-changing; by the time they're done, there won't be anything left.
The use of imagery throughout the song helps to paint a picture of someone who is struggling to keep it together, with the stress of holding back their true feelings slowly taking a toll on them. The words "out of key" and "offer some words of advice" are metaphors for the singer feeling out of sync or off-balance, and the desire to help others even in their own pain. The line "Instinct / This time it ain't Off beat" shows a sense of urgency to break out of the repetitive cycle, and to take action before it's too late.
Overall, the song "Train" is a powerful message of perseverance in the face of emotional turmoil, and how to channel negativity towards positive change.

Let me explain why this song is a hit.
1. It is guitar driven, so the guitars are crunchy. The volume on the amp is up so much that there's natural distortion instead of using a pedal or a JCM-800, which has a knob dedicated to gain.
2. He's using a slide on the guitar, so that pronounces the solo much more than it does without a slide.
3. The guy playing the harmonica emulates a sound of a train whistle, which adds to the mood of the song.
4. It's somewhat upbeat, and it swings. The drums have this groove and fits the main riff. You can dance to the beat. It's fun and keeps the song rolling.
You can send me any other southern rock song by another southern rock band, and it won't compare to this song right here. I like Skynyrd. Gimme Three Steps is my favorite song by them. But their songs aren't hillbilly. This song was adapted from Shorty Medlocke, and he played it on banjo. It was slower, but it felt over the hill, and hillbilly. Skynyrd is more radio friendly. I have heard this song on the radio. Only once though. What I'm trying to say, is I'll never get bored of this song. It fucking rocks and it's embedded in blues and hillbilly. This song is a banger.

It’s absolutely amazing how many great bands we had growing up in the 60-70s. Us old geezers we’re lucky ducks 🦆😂🥵✌️
@smallchange5946
I would give anyhing to go back to the 60s and 70s and, I would never want to leave.
@smallchange5946
@ted ritola In the absolute best ways possible and we sure do know that now don't we? I sure do treasure those memories from the 60s and 70s. If afforded the chance to go back; I would never leave.

You are so right. I grew up in a rural area just West of Fort Worth TX in the 70's and early 80's. There was a local 3 piece Southern Rock band out there named Blackhorse that was fantastic. The played a lot of the bars around the Fort Worth/Dallas area and got close to making it but never did. I met them and followed them around wherever they played. It may be the best Southern Rock band you've Never heard. I've attached a link if you're interested. Let me know what you think.

@@stevecontini5386 Yea I loved Trapeze but I wouldn't really call them a Southern Rock band. My favorite song of theirs was Star Breaker. They were from England if I remember right and more of a hard rock band with some of their songs showing a hint of the 60's psychedelic sound. You are right, they were a great band.
