    our main hero yells out his second wish, to save the world from ziltoid.

    convincing ziltoid that the earth has better coffee seemed like a faulty plan to our hero, so he goes to the source.

    he is sent back onto earth, where he convinces the space program to lend him a ship that allows him to go into hyperdrive, once again.

    Although he isn't alone, one of his great grandparents comes along for the ride, to ensure our main hero does not botch up the wish.

    once our hero makes it to the planet where ziltoid lives, he rallys almost all the people of the planet who could possibly come. He attempts to fullfill his main plan: to convince the people of this planet to overthrow ziltoid and have sympathy on a Earth by proving its worth.

    However, it turns out that the race of people are already angry at the earth, and demand that the Earth must be destroyed. Our main hero and his grandfather are persistent, though. The grandfather tries his own rally methods, through religion, desperately trying to convince the planet of what they believe. However, all their effort goes down hill, ziltoid knows why they are there, and the planet exposes the reason why the earth must die.

    A giant equation appears on the screen behind our main hero. He is shocked, this is the equation that he created in his attempts to find the secrets of the universe. Our hero exclaims: These are only equations! this is only a problem! filled with doubt and demoralized, our hero realizes that his main nitch is not to save the world, for he was the world's doom.

    he gives the signal that he is done with the wish, and is flung back into hell. where his family awaits him.

    his wife exclaims: "OF COURSE HE FAILED!"

    with the pressure on him, out of anger and desperation, he stands on a podium and exlcaims(after a long exposition of disgusting gestures at his family) that his main purpose in life, was to masturbate.

    his family is disgusted at this, and disperse their separate ways into hell, only to disappear.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
