This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All of your friends are famous
You're the man at pulling favors
Is that the best that you can do?
Is that the best that we can do?
You said it before, and you'll say it again
"You're gonna be massive, it's a matter of when"
Is that the best that we could do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
It's not that you're used to failure
You put the hours in, the check comes later
Is that the best that you can do
It's time to take on something new
You're moving in circles, your all over LA
You're big with the ladies, so they don't think you're gay
And that's the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down
And when it don't work out, you put them on the stand
It's not your fault, you want them eating from your hand
You say the words and everybody leaves
You change you hair before anyone can breathe You don't make sense, and you don't want to know
You're self defensive, Oh-oh!
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
Is that the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
Is that the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're the man at pulling favors
Is that the best that you can do?
Is that the best that we can do?
You said it before, and you'll say it again
"You're gonna be massive, it's a matter of when"
Is that the best that we could do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
It's not that you're used to failure
You put the hours in, the check comes later
Is that the best that you can do
It's time to take on something new
You're moving in circles, your all over LA
You're big with the ladies, so they don't think you're gay
And that's the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down
And when it don't work out, you put them on the stand
It's not your fault, you want them eating from your hand
You say the words and everybody leaves
You change you hair before anyone can breathe You don't make sense, and you don't want to know
You're self defensive, Oh-oh!
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
Is that the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
Is that the best that you can do?
And do we owe it all to you?
You're getting around
You're getting me down
You're getting around
You're getting me down

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
