Blattaria! war princess! I am here with my new best friends
The human beings who are now my army!
And together, we shall defeat you! captain spectacular!
Right here, ziltoid!
Yes. please, provide me with the weapon
(don't do it captain, don't do it!)
Ha! fooled you, poopypants!
What?! but- butbutbut ziltoid!
Yes. I have duped the humans into thinking I am on their side!
Ziltoid, we had a deal! you signed a contract!
Yes, I signed it in pencil. with my left hand
I mean, you're just so dumb, it- it hurts!
Ziltoid, how could you do this?
Oh please, do you actually think that
There's anything in common between me and you, human?
There's more you have in common with humans than you realize
Think back to your childhood! you must know how I know!
What are you blathering about?
Ziltoid, search your memories. don't I look familiar to you?
Just tell me!
We have the same mother!
Woah!

Turns out, captain spectacular... is ziltoid's half-brother!

Woah!
Will you losers get on with it?! what are you talking about over there?
I have something here from our mother!
and she wanted you to have it this is the universe's ultimate coffee bean!
Woah! gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme!
Ziltoid, you were always destined to be humanity's last hope! now end this!
Wow, this is so heavy, and unbelievably cheesy!
oh well, planet smasher, I command the attack!

Woah, what the heck!
Ha ha ha! nice weapon!
Oh crap!
Ziltoid, I see you have a soft spot
Well, let me show you how we play in my world! captain spectacular, you die!
Ayeayeayeayeayeayeaya
No!
All seemed to be lost
My brother!
What ziltoid failed to realize is- the planet
smasher needed his own reasons to summon his ungodly power!
No!
The pain of his brother dying pierces his withered heart!
Ugh, so lame!
As ziltoid kneels beside his fallen brother, as if in a dream, the song they'd sing together as children is all of a sudden on his lips
Memories... all alone with the memories

The war princess wasn't about to go quietly
She grabbed out, got a hold of ziltoid
And in that moment they were both... gone!
Turns out the thing the planet smasher hated
The most was musicals! who saw that coming?!

They're gone! we're free! we're free!! captain spectacular saved us!
And so did ziltoid!
Hip hip hooray!

So ziltoid, the war princess, and the poozers
Are jettisoned through that hairy wormhole
The planet smasher, off to wherever planet smashers go
The musicals worked! the humans, now left alone
Amongst themselves to celebrate wallowing
In the sacrifice of captain spectacular
Yet giddy in the joy of their survival
Awash with the promise of their brand new world
Voices raised together in celebratory blissful song
The earth sang as one- believe it, or not

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
