The Death Set's "Around the World" is a high-energy, fast-paced song that depicts an adventurous journey around the world, filled with danger and obstacles. The lyrics suggest that the mission is top secret, which could imply that the people in the song are either spies or soldiers on a covert mission. The song describes the journey as one that requires a lot of courage and bravery because there are enemies that will try to stop them along the way. The lines, "It's a top secret mission and our enemies are wishin' that they had a bigger gun," suggests that the mission requires them to be well-prepared, as their enemies are fierce, and they may need more firepower to overcome them.

The song is uplifting and motivating as it speaks to the human experience of overcoming obstacles and achieving great things. The message that comes through is one of resilience, determination, and the courage to move forward in the face of danger. The song encourages us to embrace challenges and strive to succeed even when the odds seem against us. The Death Set uses a fusion of punk rock, garage rock, and electro-pop to create a sound that is truly unique, and "Around the World" is a testament to their creativity and talent.

Line by Line Meaning

We go around the world and we do what must be done,
We travel all over the globe to fulfill a necessary task.

It's a top secret mission and our enemies are wishin' that they had a bigger gun.
This mission is confidential, and our adversaries are envious of our superior equipment.
