Early Train

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
I've been to places where the rain is welcome
Glad I talked to god 'til the sunshine he'll come
'Cause when it comes and goes as fast as it show
Where's the man with the horns and the bargain for your soul
I wanna be alone but I don't wanna be alone
It gets to hard trying to be someone else
I don't need noebody's help
Everyone's a hypocrite
They don't really give a shit
Said I needed their opis
But nah
They don't give what I want no
Once I leave I'm gone
They don't give what I want so
Once I leave I'm gone
Girl where are you going?
Nowhere to go, don't leave just close the door
Girl where are you going?
Nowhere to go, don't leave just close the door
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
This is what I needed like a perfect desolation
Sitting in a corner where my mind is contemplating
I think I'm real everyone is just fake
And don't even know the reason for my stagnation
Trying to find myself said: "I need to be more patient"
Reason for my lateness I catch everyone waiting
Everybody's saying they say: "Life is what you make it"
Right now I feel like I wanna forsake it
They don't give what I want no
Once I leave I'm gone
They don't give what I want so
Once I leave I'm gone
Girl where are you going?
Nowhere to go, don't leave just shut the
Trouble on my mind like fine I don't wanna deal with you
Looking at the devil like: "Can I make a deal wit' you?"
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
Why I start to blink
When I start to break
Why I start to blink
When I start to break
Why I start to blink
When I start to break
Why I start to blink
When I start to break
Once I leave I'm gonna be gone
I don't wanna deal with your fucking issues
All this fighting is bringing me down
All I wanted to do is tryina love you
You laugh at me like I'm a clown
I don't wanna be here when you're around
And all you friends they just pretend
They don't know you like I do
Woohoo
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
I'm taking the early train
I'm making it very plain
I'm taking the easy way out
You know what I'm talking about
The song "Early Train" by deM atlaS explores the complexities of relationships and the struggle to find oneself. The repeated lyrics "I'm taking the early train, I'm making it very plain, I'm taking the easy way out, you know what I'm talking about" suggest that the singer is leaving a situation that is causing distress and opting for a simpler path. The mention of rain being welcome and talking to God until the sunshine comes implies a sense of longing for clarity and direction. The line "I wanna be alone but I don't wanna be alone" highlights the internal conflict of desiring solitude, but not wanting to feel isolated. There is a tone of resentment towards others who have not provided the kind of support that the singer needs, with the mention of hypocrites who don't really care. Overall, the song conveys a sense of uncertainty and the struggle to find a sense of purpose and belonging.

Oh
Introducing the start of the song
I'm taking the early train
I'm choosing the simplest way to leave my current situation
I'm making it very plain
I don't want any confusion or misunderstanding about my decision
I'm taking the easy way out
I'm not interested in putting effort into fixing my current problems
You know what I'm talking about
I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from
I've been to places where the rain is welcome
I have visited regions where the rain is desired
Glad I talked to god 'til the sunshine he'll come
I'm happy that I prayed for the sun to appear
'Cause when it comes and goes as fast as it show
But it's frustrating when it disappears too quickly
Where's the man with the horns and the bargain for your soul
Where's the mythical figure to sell your soul to in exchange for what you desire
I wanna be alone but I don't wanna be alone
I desire solitude but still desire a connection with others
It gets too hard trying to be someone else
I'm exhausted trying to be something I'm not
I don't need nobody's help
I don't require assistance from anyone
Everyone's a hypocrite
Others say one thing but do another
They don't really give a shit
No one truly cares
Said I needed their opis
Others claimed to have a solution for my struggles
But nah
But I don't believe them
They don't give what I want no
Other people don't provide me what I desire
Once I leave I'm gone
Once I depart, I'm gone for good
Girl where are you going?
A question directed at a female, asking where she's headed
Nowhere to go, don't leave just close the door
Response to the girl, let's stay here and shut the door
This is what I needed like a perfect desolation
I require this kind of isolation and loneliness
Sitting in a corner where my mind is contemplating
I am sitting somewhere quiet, in thought
I think I'm real everyone is just fake
I believe I am authentic, while others are superficial/insincere
And don't even know the reason for my stagnation
I don't know why I'm stuck in this state of inactivity
Trying to find myself said: "I need to be more patient"
I am making an effort to rediscover myself and understand that it'll take time
Reason for my lateness I catch everyone waiting
I'm late because I have trouble keeping the people around me waiting
Everybody's saying they say: "Life is what you make it"
Others tell me that my life is what I create
Right now I feel like I wanna forsake it
At this moment, I feel like giving up on the idea of creating a fulfilling life
Why I start to blink
Asking why I begin to blink
When I start to break
When I begin to crumble and fall apart
Once I leave I'm gonna be gone
Once I depart, I won't be back
I don't wanna deal with your fucking issues
I'm uninterested in handling your problems
All this fighting is bringing me down
Arguing and conflict is negatively affecting me
All I wanted to do is tryina love you
My intention was to try and show affection towards you
You laugh at me like I'm a clown
You ridicule me and make me feel foolish
I don't wanna be here when you're around
I don't wish to be present when you're nearby
And all you friends they just pretend
Your friends are just pretending
They don't know you like I do
They do not understand you like I comprehend you

@Iwannaween1
Just saw this dude in concert on the Atmosphere tour and I was SO impressed. You're gonna be big one day bro. You deserve it.
@gamer321ful
Saw him in burlington vermont and he was incredible. Makes me sad that this song has no views on here
@emily12391
Saw him in Brooklyn and I love his flow. He has such an awesome stage presence too.
@shwagondawheels
Just saw him in Richmond with sphere. He puts on a sick live show and I gave him daps for that. Humble guy with tons a talent, tell your friends.
@jodybaldos7771
Saw them in NOLA, hell of a show. This dude's gonna be huge soon.
@simpleyeteffective5863
I've been listening to him for a few years now. And i saw him twice such a chill dude. And his music is awesome too
@danolree51
One of the most talented artists I've seen live. I've had this song on repeat since I saw him live.
@joshuahancock2738
Met this cat in Indy. After his set he came out a chilled with everyone. Been into him for a while now. Kind of surreal to just talk to him. Talked to him about DWNR and the original artwork that came with the vinyl. He was 10 feet tall and humble as hell. Blowing up or not... just deep tunes. Real deal. Thanks for a great night.
@nicklausschubert298
Im shocked this has so few views. This guy is great, live show is nice too
@christopherravetto6927
Fucking love you Dem Atlas!! This whole album has seriously lifted me up so much!
