Lyrics

Everybody's got themselves a plan

People have individual plans for their lives.

And everybody thinks they'll be the man

Everyone believes they will achieve greatness.

Including the girls

This includes females as well.

The musicians who lack the friends to start

Those musicians lacking friends form singer-songwriter careers.

A band are singer-songwriters

The rest, like the narrator, become DJs or club photographers.

The rest of us are DJ's

The narrator is playing at Nambucca tonight.

Or official club photographers

The narrator contacts people in their phonebook to attend the show.

And tonight I'm playing another Nambucca show

Texting everyone known, and even some unknown contacts.

So I'm going through my phonebook and

Numbers of some individuals are in the narrator's phone without clear recall.

Texting everyone I know

Those unknown contacts might attend the show.

And quite a few I don't

Attendance is uncertain, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Whose numbers found their way into my phone

Numbers saved in the narrator's phone without clear knowledge of the owners.

But they might come along anyway

Even if unsure, those individuals might still come to the show.

You never really know

The uncertainty of who will attend the show.


None of this is going anywhere

The narrator feels that their efforts are not progressing.

And pretty soon we'll all be old

The realization that everyone will age and lose relevance.

No one left alive will really care

Future generations won't care about past achievements.

About our glory days when we sold our souls

Reflecting on past moments when they compromised their values.

'Cause if it's all about the destination

If life is about the end goal, take a quick route to it.

Then take a fucking flight

Emphasizing the journey, not just the destination.

We're going nowhere slowly

Life is progressing slowly without a clear direction.

But seeing all the sights

Despite the lack of direction, they are experiencing various aspects of life.


We're definitely going to hell

Acknowledging that they might face consequences for their actions.

But we'll have all the best stories to tell

Despite the potential consequences, they will have memorable stories.

Yeah, we're definitely going to hell

Reiterating the acknowledgment of facing consequences.

But we'll have all the best stories to tell

Emphasizing that these consequences will lead to great stories.


And I'm definitely going to hell

The narrator accepts the likelihood of facing consequences in the afterlife.

And I'll have all the best stories to tell

Despite this, they anticipate having incredible stories to share.
