This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey
But it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see
Oh, but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free
Just let it go, just get it away from me, oh
'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight,oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I'm going down, going down like a monkey
Ooh, but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up
Carry that weight that you can't see
But don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter
Going down and down, round and round
But just get it away from me, oh
Because tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I got some money in my pocket
About ready to burn
I don't remember where I got it
I gotta get it to you
So please answer the phone
'Cause I keep calling but you're never home
What am I gonna do
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
You keep telling me I've got everything
You say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me
You're gonna help me, but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep
Ooh, get me out of here, please get me out of here
Just help me, I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help me get out of here
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey
Ooh, but it's alright
It's like a load on your back that you can't see
Ooh, don't you know that it's alright
Just try to shake it loose, cut it free
Let it go, but just get it away from me, oh
'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
Maybe we'll make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
Please get me out of here
Just someone get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help get me out of here
Tonight, oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
Yes, tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
Yes, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
But it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see
Oh, but it's alright

'Cause tonight, tonight, tonight,oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight, oh
I'm going down, going down like a monkey
Ooh, but it's alright

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
------------------- This song follows Invisible Touch, which also uses a lot of code words for drug use. However, I don't see radio friendly Phil as a badass in this phase of his career... The song reads like he was in a bad partnership with his agent or something.
