Nice legs, Daisy Dukes,
Makes a man go (whistles),
That's the way they all come through like (whistles),
Low-cut, see-through shirts that make ya (whistles),
That's the way she come through like (whistles),

'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down,
'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce,
How do I say I'm sorry 'cause the word is just never gonna come out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

Tight jeans, double d's makin' me go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),
Iced out, lit-up make the kids go (whistles),
All the people on the street know (whistles),

'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down,
'Cause I just set them up,
Just set them up,
Just set them up to knock them down

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce,
How do I say I'm sorry 'cause the word is just never gonna come out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
I got my gun cocked tight and I'm ready to blow,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
This is the same old dance that you already know,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
I got my gun cocked tight and I'm ready to blow,
Push it baby, push it baby,
Out of control,
This is the same old dance that you already know

I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out,
Now,
L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce

    "This is the same old dance that you already know" I first thought it was a slut he was talking to and since she does it so much, it just becomes like a routine. But the guy, I guess is talkin' to himself reminding that he's a player and she's just a different version of all video games.

    Song Meaning

    Everyone is kind of hovering around what this song is about, with slashedupinsanity being closest to the real meaning. let me break it down section by section:

    "Nice legs, Daisy Dukes," etc. sets up the first section to show that the narrator, a guy, is the type of dude who looks to go to clubs and check out girls. He's obviously confident in himself and has no problem whistling at the girls, which some people would be afraid to do because they might retaliate.

    "'Cause I just set them up," etc. talks about how he has no trouble, most likely due to his confidence, in hooking up with these girls, probably have sex with them, all of that good stuff.

    "I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out," etc. shows a completely different side of this male protagonist. Up until this point, Nate and Sean's style of singing/rapping has been primarily very aggressive, reflecting the character's way with women. At this section, Sean makes his voice sound more wispy and timid. He is showing another side of the narrator, and revealing him to be a multi-dimensional character. Here, the narrator feels bad for mindlessly fucking all of the party girls, even though that's probably all they were looking for from a night out. "I think I should know how to make love to something innocent without leaving my fingerprints out" translates literally to "I think I should be able to have meaningful sex with someone and actually make an impression [like a fingerprint] upon them for more than a 1-night stand" "L-o-v-e's just another word I never learned to pronounce," obviously means he doesn't think he knows how to really LOVE someone, not just fuck them

    Then, it's back to the machismo, with the section beginning with "Tight jeans, double d's makin' me go (whistles)." For this section and the next refer back to the 1st 2 sections at the beginning of this meaning.

    Then again we go back to the regretful singing, he still wants to love and be able to feel a real connection with someone.

    The next section, beginning with "Push it baby, push it baby," is the most interesting one. This is obviously what he's saying either to himself or one of the girls he's having a 1-night stand with, but it has kind of a sad feeling to it. Like he's tired of this, tired of "pushing it," tired of the "same old dance."

    To solidify this, he repeats the main part of the chorus 1 last time, emphasizing that, while he's never learned how to love so far, he still wants to learn how to do so.

    I think the entire song on the whole in the context of our generation can be taken to mean a number of things. Obviously, Nate and Sean think that a lot of people in our generation have developed this feeling that is described in the song, only it's told exclusively from a male point of view. Despite this, it can be said the same about females. On one hand, our generation is much more free-minded about having sex than any other generation. This is great because it allows us to try out a number of sexual partners and decide who and what is best for us. On the other hand, this can lead to a lot of meaningless connections which, in turn, makes each of us feel lonelier. If all of the people in our generation only have 1-night stands, then what permanent connections are we performing? Obviously, we can have friends, but a romantic is much different than a friendly connection. Also, I realize there are a lot of people in relationships who have very meaningful sex and love each other and don't participate in the orgy of 1-night stands. However, I think this is kind of a cry that is trying to say that the meaningless 1-night stands make it harder to find that "soul mate," make it harder to go on actual dates, instead of just having fun, but meaningless, sex. Maybe we all hope for a little more than just fucking every hot chick or dude who comes along.

    This song is about this guy that likes to Bang hot girls, but does not want to have a real relationship with them, so he won't tell her he loves her. "without leaving my fingerprints" Means without forming any kind of actual bond besides having sex with her. He just sets them up to knock them down by making them think they are getting into a relationship when really it's just a one night stand.

    Love this song, 30!3 is Awesome!!

    Just set them up tonight (then down),

    i think that's wrong. im positive that its in fact "i just set them up to knock them down" it makes more sense.

    "set them up TONIGHT (them down)" makes no sense at all. its not even english. lmaooo.

    but anyway, not much explanation needed for this song. love it though.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
