Singles & eps, about riverboat gamblers.

While the most visible wing of the early-2000s American punk scene has been marked by Warped Tour-ready pop-punk and emo acts, Texas's Riverboat Gamblers offer up a necessary dose of old-fashioned trash-punk sleaze. Singing about the glories of boozy late nights, too many cigarettes in the ash tray, and the pride of the working man, the Gamblers offer a raucous counterpoint to the heart-on-our-sleeves earnestness of many of their contemporaries.

Riverboat Gamblers - A Choppy, Yet Sincere Apology Lyrics

Artist: Riverboat Gamblers

Album: Underneath The Owl

You wouldn't know me when depression kicks in, When the panic's attacking and I miss medicine When my neck can't hold up my head And I just can't get out of bed When you see me (see me) uncomfortably chain smoking, Trying to force up a smile Then I'm slippin' (slippin') again And I don't wanna drag no one down with my problem That's in my head I'll probably snap out but I just don't know when Apologies from me This is nothing that I want you to see Trying to drown out that ringing voice Might give it up, give it up Like a pick in a hollow body Give it up, give it up, give it up down Into the sea, tentacles got me by the neck and they're pulling me down I try to keep in check Stay on top, teeter tot won't balance I guess Every time I get one under control the rest start rising and then I stay shut up in my home Agoraphobic and alone 'Til with bit lip, fuck it, I gotta try Hands clenching, sweating, Don't want no one to see in my mind It's not a pretty sight The right half don't work and the screws aren't tight Apologies from me This is nothing that I want you to see Trying to drown out that ringing voice Might give it up, give it up Like a pick in a hollow body Give it up, give it up, give it up down Into the sea, tentacles got me by the neck and they're pulling me down

Meaning of A Choppy Yet Sincere Apology by Riverboat Gamblers

The song "A Choppy Yet Sincere Apology" by Riverboat Gamblers delves into the experience of depression, panic attacks, and the struggles of mental health. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the lead singer's inner turmoil and the challenges they face in their daily life.

The first verse describes how the singer feels during moments of depression and panic attacks, when they are unable to function normally. They mention the physical and emotional symptoms they experience, such as being unable to hold their head up, the difficulty of getting out of bed, and their resorting to chain smoking to cope. It conveys the feeling of slipping back into a negative state.

The chorus suggests that the singer understands the impact their mental health issues can have on others and expresses their desire not to burden or drag anyone down with their problems. They acknowledge that they may eventually "snap out" of it, but they don't know when or how long it will take.

In the second verse, the singer describes their attempts to cope with their mental struggles. They mention trying to keep things in check and stay on top, but despite their efforts, it feels like they are losing the balance. The lyrics emphasize the constant battle of trying to get one issue under control while other problems continue to rise.

The bridge highlights the isolation and loneliness that often accompanies mental health struggles. The singer describes staying shut up in their home, feeling agoraphobic and alone. The mention of a "bit lip" suggests a sense of determination to try and confront their struggles, even though it may be difficult for others to understand their internal battles.

The repeated chorus emphasizes the apologies from the singer, expressing that they don't want others to witness their internal struggles. The comparison of feeling trapped like a pick in a hollow body and being pulled down by tentacles conveys the overwhelming nature of their mental health issues, as if they are being suffocated or drowned by them.

Overall, "A Choppy Yet Sincere Apology" explores the challenges of living with depression and mental health issues, the isolation and guilt that can come with it, and the desire to shield others from witnessing the darker aspects of one's mind. It provides a glimpse into the internal battles faced by individuals dealing with mental health struggles.

I LOOOOOOOVE this song. It makes me think of how I feel with the way my mind works. I apologize so much for things I say and do because sometimes my brain is just ridiculous.

I love this song too! I'm suprised more people haven't commented.I didn't know all the lyrics till just now and I never would have guessed it was so depressing! It sounds kinda cheerful to me. Anyways, I think it's about a guy who gets anxiety attacks,and depression. He tries not to bring other people down with his problems so he over apologizes.

I have a friend who is not this bad, but is on meds for his fear of being around the public. He doesn't apologize though. I think it's really sad...He's a good kid...

This song makes me sad for friends who couldn't give it up. God I wish they were still alive.
