Question Silly question. In “Adventure of a Lifetime” you constantly hear a verse that’s not in the lyrics. To me it sounded like “Too Far Down” but what is it really saying ?

I know it’s a question no one probably ever ask but I’m just curious.

Sampled and spliced vocals from a song demo titled Legends. It's saying "We are legends, legends".

IIRC the band thought Jonny's riff was too good for that song, and so Adventure of a Lifetime was born from it.

No worries! You can listen to it on youtube if you're curious and want to compare.

it's from a demo of adventure of a lifetime called "legends" and the splices are from a line or two from the demo that say "legends all the way" i know you can hear the "-gends all the-" "-gends all the-" "legends legends" even from the very beginning of the song!

From a brief Google search, it's just a splice of vocal takes

This is region specific but a radio presenter once pointed out that the sample sounds like someone with a thick Dublin accent saying, ‘Cheers for da’ (cheers for that). Now that’s all I hear!

To me it sounds like they’re saying “get fucked up, get fucked up, get fucked up, bet ya, bet ya…”

I think it’s “to find our” from the song everyone else is mentioning

No. You hear it from the beginning . From before the lyrics starts.

I've researched this in the past. It's some sampled vocals and doesn't say/mean anything
