Im real late 👁️👁️ but the line “i hope someday selmers rides her fuckin train” is one of my fave lines in any song. Its a reference to a video game called Night in The Woods (if yall haven’t checked it out I HEAVILY recommend it its a masterpiece) Selmers was a side character that the player can interact with throughout the game. Her backstory is one of the most interesting ones in the game for me personally. In the beginning she has just gotten out a prison and is attending rehab due to her stealing opioids from the pharmacy she was working at. She had developed this addiction due to her abusive ex husband. To help cope with her addiction and trauma, she writes poems that she can read to the player. At one point she reads this one poem called “Theres No Reception in Possum Springs” which directly calls out the way corporations that makes up the small town the game is set it . She explains how the political, economic, and social factors in her town negatively affected her, her loved ones, and everyone else in the town causing them to stay stagnant in the town just to get exploited by these companies that practically rule peoples lives. At the end she mentions hitching a ride out of the town and burn these companies and corporations down, affectively freeing her and others from the grief and control they suffer at the hands of these companies . That was a brief explanation tbh but again I highly recommend playing the game or simply researching it. Anyways i just thought it was a cool reference so i thought id mention it :)
