I'm A Legend Tonight

KISS

I've been working at my job, slaving like a dog all day
And I've been thinking about you, girl
And watching the minutes slip away
Yeah, and I know there's someone inside me that nobody sees
And I know in the darkness you're gonna be reaching for me

I'm a legend tonight
Gonna make you feel right
When you reach for the light
I'm a legend tonight
I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight

You know they try to slow me, sometimes I think I'm gonna stop
But I gotta keep on going, believing in 5 o' clock, yeah
And on the edge of the darkness we'll be living in another world
And I know that a part of you's gonna be part of me, girl

I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight
Look at me

I don't know what happens when the race is run
I don't know what tells me if I've lost or won
But I know that I'll make it through the day alright
And girl, you're gonna find out

I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend
Gonna make you feel right, legend
When you reach for the light, legend
I'm a legend tonight, legend

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
