I'm sorry but I am apparently the only one who sees nothing in this song at all. Its one good repeated couplet over and over then the captain and ship thing (which was already done by brand new) set to a slower marching tempo mixed with the hits thing at the end. I know its supposed to feel epic but its just seems overdone and not really saying anything other than "look how far we've come". To me you have to say something real or profound to warrant to be "epic". Not just pound out some tune that sounds vaguely like every other semisweet celebration song.
Finally, somebody else notices that Brand New sang the "captain with his ship" thing first. I also have a sneaking suspicion that "I only think in the form of crunching numbers" from Thanks for the Memories is probably "inspired borrowing" of "I think decimals and dollars." from Okay, I Believe you... by Brand New
