Yeah, man, I got a right
To talk about what I see
Way too much is going wrong
It's right in front of me

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money
And try to rule me too

You might expect me to follow
But I ain't gonna fall in line
I tell you what, this much I know
The dotted line ain't been signed

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul
And try to rule me too

You might beat me, you might cheat me
And try to make me change my mind
You might stick me, you might trick me
I'm gonna tell you one last time

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money
And try to rule me too

You wanna go and tell me what's good for me
You wanna tell me what I'm payin' for
Well the game is fixed it's plain to see
I ain't playin' no more

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my money
And try to rule me too

You can't rule me
You can't rule me
You can't take my soul
And try to rule me too, yeah

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
