Songfacts®:

  • This song is about when Chevelle bass player Joe Loeffler left the band. He is the brother of Pete and Sam Loeffler, who were founding members of the band. Since Joe was not just a band member but also family, this made his departure more complicated. Although he decided to quit, they are not mad, but this song is more of a warning for Joe's safety.
