Send "Bottles To The Ground" Ringtone to Cell

You know it when it’s over
Door are closing feel the sober staring at you
You know you better take one more good look

One more round then it’s bottles to the ground
Smashing of the glass what a super sonic sound
You gotta pull the plug when it’s time to die
Whoa whoa whoa, bottles to the ground

There’s a suitcase on the side walk
There’s some records in a milkcrate
She’ll be staying
You’ll be throwing whiskey over one lip

One more round then it’s bottles to the ground
Smashing of the glass a perfect imperfect sound
You gotta pay the piper when the rats are gone
Whoa whoa whoa, bottles to the ground

One more round then it’s bottles to the ground x14

    My Interpretation:It's about desperation 'n frustration, when (you think) the only possble solution is alcohol and blind anger.

    General Comment:This song is amazing, as well as this band!

    I think this song is about some dude that basically abandons his whole life (home, family, friends, etc.) to drink. He drinks until death do him and his drinks apart (when it repeats "one more round and it's bottles to the ground" at the very end).

    I honestly don't think I have a clue, that's just my opinion.

    General Comment:First verse is about being at a bar until closing time.


    Second verse is about a dude getting kicked out of his house by his girlfriend/wife, and getting s---faced.

    General Comment:I might be totally wrong here, but I think its just about getting drunk.
    I love Nofx, and their lyrics tend to be pretty much straightforward.

    General Comment:i guess you could be thinking that he's smashing the bottle because he's so disillusioned with his life but still come on benny's explanation makes so much more sense

    General Comment:it makes no sense if it's about a guy throwing his life away. you guys are just seeing what you want to see, rather than what's actually there. i mean, do you think he's smashing the bottle so he can cut himself or something? do you seriously think NOFX would write something that lame? they already wrote a song about alcoholism and depression and loneliness and blah blah, "release the hostages" i'm not saying they wouldn't write about the same thing twice, i'm just saying that if they were going to write about throwing your life away, they would make it make sense.

    General Comment:This song is actually about when NOFX were in Amsterdam and they were at a bar which was closing down that night. Anyway the owner basically said when you've finished your beer, smash it on the ground, and get another one. That has been the explanation given by fat mike at their shows anyway
