Shitty Train (feat. Las Lunas)

The song 'Shitty Train (feat. Las Lunas)' by Of Men and Wolves delves into the emotional turmoil and existential angst of feeling trapped in a monotonous and unfulfilling life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is desperate to escape their current circumstances, symbolized by the 'shitty train.' This train represents a journey through a bleak and dreary existence, where the protagonist feels no joy ('I got no Sun there's only rain') and is overwhelmed by pain and dissatisfaction ('I wanna crash and numb this pain').

The recurring mention of 'rodeo' in the song serves as a metaphor for the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life. The protagonist feels like they are constantly being thrown around, unable to find stability or peace ('Cause rodeo's got me feeling like a so, so'). This sense of instability is further emphasized by the desire to escape to a place of tranquility and renewal ('Take me to another country / Let me start over / Oh, I long for green hills, windmills and four leaf clover'). The longing for a fresh start and a more fulfilling life is a central theme in the song.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of forbidden fruit and the consequences of making choices that may not always be right ('Forbidden fruit is not always right / Make way for change'). This suggests a recognition of past mistakes and a desire to break free from destructive patterns. The song ultimately conveys a powerful message about the need for change and the courage to leave behind a life that no longer serves one's well-being. The collaboration with Las Lunas adds a haunting and ethereal quality to the song, enhancing its emotional depth and resonance.
