I wrote "Train Car" in a time when I wanted to escape. On my way to work one day I was stopped at the tracks near my house by a passing train. It was the longest train in the world and as a result I was late for my shift. As the train cars were passing me by I wished that I could jump on one of them and go to the ocean. I subjected myself to a job I dreaded in order to survive. I hated my job and my prospects as a twenty something American. Feeling trapped, unable to even think outside the box, I reflected on my place in life with this song.
