Cette chanson très courte raconte avec une certaine élégance espiègle les suites d'une rupture. La chanteuse s'est fait quitter pour sa meilleure amie et, dans le texte, joue de l'effet de rimes implicites pour ne pas employer des insultes vulgaires.

These lines might include loose references to two popular spinoff Mario game franchises:

  • ‘spin the wheel’ could hint at Mario Kart
  • ‘take a chance’ could hint at Mario Party’s Chance Time tiles.

the line is most likely encouraging Mario, and by extension the player, to dive headfirst into new and scary situations, as you cannot progress without facing your fears

That’s as accurate as to say that the line is referencing the slot machine gambling mini-game already within Odyssey.

Interestingly, at that point in the song, the music’s key does go up, mirroring the lyrics.

Sure, maybe “jumping up in the air” means “getting high” and “breaking the chains of the establishment" – however, it’d be more accurate to say that the line, along with the key change, corroborate with the earlier themes of freedom (to explore an open world).

It’s actually about a far deeper meaning of ‘jumping up in the air’, implying getting high and breaking free of the chains of the establisment

It’s a dirty little beat, it reminds me of The Streets, Mike Skinner and them

C'est un bon gros son, il me rappelle l'époque de The Streets, Mike Skinner et autres
Ça me fait remonter des sons old school
L'époque où on dansait, index pointé vers le haut
C'est un 10/10

The Streets était le projet/alter-ego de Mike Skinner, un rappeur anglais qui a eu une grande notoriété dans les années 2000, notamment avec “Fit But You Know It”. Dans ce morceau, Skinner commence par donner une note sur 10 au physique de la fille dont il parle :

See I reckon you’re about an 8 or a 9
Maybe even 9 ½ in four beers' time

Le 10/10 que Dizzee attribue à “Zone” est peut-être un clin d'oeil à The Streets.
