Like kings and queens we dance!
To keep this night alive

Honestly we're just too modest
Full blooded friends, don’t break your promise
You don’t have to be blood to be family

Wake up to all the town
It's way too late but were still down
It's way too late but were still down
Dance with me

This will be the sound of children
Shouting that we're always asking for.
We play for keeps in this game of loss
We love to laugh and laugh and love
We dance to show them what kings and queens are made of
Sing every love with no regrets
There’s not time that could be better spent
We thought this out

Honestly we're just too modest
Full blooded friends, don’t break your promise
You don't have to be blood to me family
Wake up to all the town
It's way too late but were still down
It's way too late but were still down.

Why can't we all just sing along?
Why can't we all just sing along?
Why can't we all just sing along?
Why can't we?
Why can't we?

    Umm i think some of the lyrics maybe wrong, but it could just be me...this is what i thought they were:

    Like kings and queens we dance! To keep this night alive

    Honestly we're just too modest Full blooded friends, don’t break your promise You don’t have to be blood to be family

    Wake up to all the town It's way too late but were still down It's way too late but were still down Dance with me

    This should be the soundtrack to the show Look out! We're always asking for. We play for keeps in this game of loss We love to laugh and laugh and love We dance to show them what kings and queens are made of Singing a life with no regrets There’s no time and I feel better spent With my best friends.

    Honestly we're just too modest Full blooded friends, don’t break your promise You don't have to be blood to me family Wake up to all the town It's way too late but were still down It's way too late but were still down.

    Why can't we all just sing along? Why can't we all just sing along? Why can't we all just sing along? Why can't we? Why can't we? (8 times)

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
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.

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.
