No Brakes

[killer_queen]

i don't really pay attention to the lyrics but sometimes i really wonder what a song is about. no brakes is one of them. americana was the first offspring album i bought and since that time i couldn't understand what no brakes is about. my english is bad, i know.

I think it's about sin or courage. I mean accepting all fight, never run away and stuff like that.

[The-Offspring-RuLe]

No brakes i think is about, life in general like life is fast when your young and youv'e got no brakes to slow u down like, ''lay awake i dont giv a shit even if i never wake up in the mornin, down below theres a pile of sin always waiting for, waiting for a warning'' but as you get older you dont want to believe u have to slow down and hit the brakes. well dats wat i think :D

It might be how the youth think they're invincible and cannot be stopped.

[killer_queen]

thanks for the answers but i don't think it's about those things. i don't know, maybe it's just me.

"Lay awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning"

yeah...i think it's about life going fast when you're young, like... they don't give a shit about life when they are young because they know when they get older things will settle down for them...

[farrell]

im sorry to tell you,but ...the lyrics are as important as the music,so no lyrics no ...nothing(almost)
no brakes-for me this song tells me to..go on my way and forget that there are plenty of things i have to care for,it's just like...keep doing what u'r doing and don't give a shit :)

Is that all people? You posted much much more on Denial, Revisited. No Brakes is a better song. I want more answers, please.

[Preecey]

No, it's more about how someone can't control his anger, and has a quick temper.

I think it's basicly the same concept of Live Fast, Die Young by Pennywise.

I think it's about how when your young you live and you just don't really care, you just live care free....

I don't know.

[nameless]

i dont undertand why you guys would want to analyse every song they do!
