Everybody saying we gotta take a chance
And telling me what the hell went wrong
We only listen to the words that we sing
Now a million are singing along

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (last one to die)

The ones that counted us out
Regret that they packed the fight
We sit on top of the world
And were proving it every night

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (last one to die)

Through the storm and the gigs
And the good and the bad
There ain't no doubt
We knew from the very first show, what it was all about

(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (last one to die)

(Last one to die)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)

    My Interpretation

    Here are the correct lyrics straight from the booklet:

    Everybody said we gotta take a chance And tell them what the hell went wrong We only listened to the words that we sang Now a million are singing along

    We got it right, you got it wrong, we're still around Last one to die We're going up, you're going down, we're still around

    The ones that have counted us out Regret that they picked a fight We sit on the top of the world And we prove it here every night

    Through the storms and the gigs and good and the bad, there ain't no doubt We knew from the very first show what it was all about

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
