200 Track-By-Track Breakdown
Bread and Circuses
A sharp critique of modern society's need for distraction, drawing parallels to ancient Rome's "bread and circuses." It portrays a population obsessed with entertainment and indulgence, blind to the erosion of freedom.
All The Good
A warning about complacency in the face of rising tyranny. It speaks to historical cycles and the cost of silence. Urging action over apathy and the ever-present idea that those to forget are doomed to repeat.
Otter 841
A tongue-in-cheek surf punk song about the infamous otter from Santa Cruz who has a habit of stealing surfboards. This song intentionally reeks of punk nostalgia. A nod to one the best Bay Area punk bands from the '80s.
Safe Harbor
A reflective anthem about choice, courage, and living without regret. It challenges listeners not just to watch others living life to the fullest but to do so themselves. Life is too short to sit on the sidelines.
Victim Mentality
A raw, unapologetic takedown of "victim" mentality and entitlement. Calling out those blame-shifting, narcissistic individuals and the forced ideology.
