LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I’m standing on the platform, freezing in the rain,
Another damn delay, it’s driving me insane!
The clock is ticking, but the train’s never here,
I swear they do it just to mess with my career!

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve heard the lies, “We’re sorry for the wait,”
But I know the truth, this is my fate!

[Chorus]
Late again! The train’s never on time!
I’m stuck in this loop, losing my mind!
Late again! It’s always the same,
I swear these delays are part of the game!

[Verse 2]
I see the faces, the same ones every day,
Frustration in their eyes, got nothing left to say.
Crowded in like cattle, we’re all feeling trapped,
One more delay, man, I think I’m gonna snap!

[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve all had enough, this system’s a joke,
Our patience is gone, we’re ready to choke!

[Chorus]
Late again! The train’s never on time!
I’m stuck in this loop, losing my mind!
Late again! It’s always the same,
I swear these delays are part of the game!

[Bridge]
I can’t believe it, they call this “on track?”
When I get there, there’s no turning back!
Every excuse, I’ve heard them before,
Next time I’ll just walk out the door!

[Chorus]
Late again! The train’s never on time!
I’m stuck in this loop, losing my mind!
Late again! It’s always the same,
I swear these delays are part of the game!

[Outro]
Late again! Late again!
Sick of these delays, where does it end?
Late again! Late again!
When will the train show up, my friend?

This track is an absolute shot of adrenaline. From the opening feedback-laden guitar riff, it immediately establishes an unfiltered, high-energy punk rock identity that is both authentic and incredibly useful for a specific range of media applications. The production strikes a fantastic balance, maintaining a raw, garage-rock edge that feels genuine while ensuring every element punches through with clarity. The drum and bass section creates a powerful, driving foundation—a relentless rhythm that’s perfect for propelling action sequences, sports highlights, or fast-paced montages forward. The guitars are the star here, with crunchy, memorable power-chord riffs and a tastefully chaotic solo that adds to the track's rebellious character.

The male vocal performance is packed with conviction and a palpable sense of frustration, which perfectly complements the sonic aggression. The chorus is a major highlight; it's simple, anthemic, and instantly memorable, making it a fantastic hook for commercials or show intros targeting a younger, edgier demographic. This isn't a track for a quiet, contemplative scene; it’s designed to grab the viewer by the collar.

For music supervisors, this is a go-to cue for anything related to youth culture, extreme sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross), or rebellious narratives. Picture this under a montage in a coming-of-age film, driving the soundtrack of a racing or action video game like *Tony Hawk's Pro Skater* or *Burnout*, or providing the sonic identity for an energy drink or streetwear brand campaign. Its energy is infectious and unapologetic. The song structure is tight and effective, wasting no time in getting to the point and maintaining its intensity from start to finish. The raw power and straightforward, hook-laden composition make it an exceptionally strong asset for any project needing a jolt of pure, rock-and-roll defiance.
