Theme
The song happens when Cry Baby and her friends escape prison and are now going after the artifact that can defeat the villain. The song talks about Cry metaphorically telling them and their friends to get tickets for the world tour while encouraging them to go on this quest.
It is a critique of how people are always connected to social networks and it's like Melanie telling people that life is beyond their phones and that they need to enjoy life and connect with the people next to them.
Lyrics
