    The image of hell being a dusty, hot and sweaty nightclub where the patrons cant hear anything, the music, each other or themselves while writing in anger and pandemonium and being forced to play for them, not being able to hear even your own instrument, much less your bandmates playing around there, playing only for the vain hope someone or something will hear you and provide relief from the moment. Trying to pour out your soul and connect, but you can't even connect with yourself no matter how hard you play. I can almost see that dark and smoky stage...

    I first saw graveyard train in Melbourne a few years ago supporting concrete blonde. It was an excellent show and I'll never forget them performing 'ghost of a Texas ladies man' with concrete blonde. Their videos don't do them justice wait till you see them live they are amazing. I've seen them at least 8 times, they never fail to disappoint, great music, great lyrics and they just seem to be having a fun time on stage which just adds to the experience.

    Yodel well, and your pickings swell
    And you play so hard for the folks in Hell
    And they can't see nothing
    Nothin' at all
    Chains to the legs, bolts to the ground
    You boys ain't leaving 'til this crowd turns around
    They don't hear nothing
    Nothing at all
    The colder the night, the hotter the lights
    Your sweat drips down and the crowd starts fist-fights
    They hear nothing
    Nothing at all
    But the air on stage is burning our lungs
    And we're all going deaf from the beating drums
    And you can't see a thing for all the blood
    And sweat in our eyes
    Yeah we played 'til we died, and now we're all dead,
    But the man says "You gotta get up there again
    And you can't come down 'til the brimstone turns to ice"
    But the air on stage is burning our lungs
    And we're all going deaf from the beating drums
    And you can't see a thing for all the blood
    And sweat in our eyes
    Yeah we played 'til we died, and now we're all dead,
    But the man says "You gotta get up there again
    And you can't come down 'til the brimstone turns to ice"
    And you can't sing a note for the dust in your throat
    We're running on empty and the bands lost all hope
    'Cause they hear nothing
    Nothing at all
    Welcome to hell, ladies and gent's
    You sinned and fell, no time to repent
    And you can't hear nothing
    Nothing at all
    No you can't hear nothing
    Nothing ... at ... alllll...

    To me, this song is about depression. How you aren't alone, yet feel alone. How you can't hear nothing at all. In your own little hell. Just a zombie repeating the same stuff day in and day out. That little girl was discovering what it was and found out that you can't beat it, no matter how much you fight it it will always be there. She just discovered darkness and entered the void.

      Ito me, it's painting the picture of that stage in hell were Beelzebub and his subordinates managing, turning that crowd around on that stage, the place where everyone's fell and must board the ship to cross the sea of fire into hell. It's easy to imagine how that area would be constant, absolute chaos, unimaginable deafening drums, can't hear nothin, nothin at all. Crowds constant fist fights and can't see nothing for all the blood and sweat in the eyes..

    So my interpretation of this is they are all dead but they're stuck in a limbo or being dead in itself is its own hell as you don't feel like you belong anywhere. The little girl is a new spirit who died recently, unlike the rest though she is full of life full of energy but the rest can't feel it anymore, either because they can't or they just don't want too.
    In the end she begins to understand and she herself is unsure, just like every other who has walked in they just sit and do nothing or wait. Its weird, some say Death is the next big adventure but here its like a waiting room, waiting for that faithful day you can stop.
