This was really hard to figure out. The lyrics are quite cryptic at times, and Ben has a way of slurring words together as he sings (note: not a criticism!) So feel free to correct anything I might've got wrong.
As for the song. It's probably my least favourite on the EP. But it's clearly one of the more well thought-out pieces, and it's lyrically intensive. The music gets quite intense with so many elements coming together towards the end. For 3:16, the song is short and I think most people wouldn't 'get' everything they could from just a casual listen on the radio.
I recommend listeners loop this one a bit to really appreciate all the little elements in the background. From the extra percussion, to the backing vocals.
Now as for interpretation: I just get the idea of absolute confidence from the lyrics. It doesn't matter if they steal the sun (or spotlight, as I figure metaphorically), 'cause you're just gonna get it back eventually anyway.
