[Verse 1]
The screen turns to green
Will the losses come clean
Or is their gain
… my pain
[Chorus]
At first (last was last)
At last (Last is first)
Future’s passed (past)
Have we seen (the worst)
[Bridge]
Soar some more
(Before hitting the floor)
Rising high
(Before bye-bye)
Such a fuss
(In the chaos)
[Verse 2]
Oh, no… shouldn’t have said
’cause now the screen’s gone red
Or is their pain
… my gain
[Chorus]
At first (last was last)
At last (Last is first)
Future’s passed (past)
Have we seen (the worst)
[Bridge]
Soar some more
(Before hitting the floor)
Rising high
(Before bye-bye)
Such a fuss
(In the chaos)
[Chorus]
At first (last was last)
At last (Last is first)
Future’s passed (past)
Have we seen (the worst)
[Outro]
Soar some more
(Before bye-bye)
Such a fuss
(In the chaos)
ABOUT THE SONG
Those who appeared to be first, ended up last. Those who appeared to be last, ended up first.
April 9 wasn’t just another volatile day on Wall Street — it was a near-perfect example of how markets behave during a crash, and why some of the biggest one-day rallies in history often happen inside brutal bear markets.
In essence, the trillions of dollars that appeared to be gains in the market were really losses for short sellers. That’s the hidden truth of sharp rallies during a crash — the money didn’t come from real investment demand; it came from forced buying.
The key difference is this: when markets rise under normal conditions, long-term investors have unrealized gains — profits on paper, but not yet cashed out. But in a short squeeze, those unrealized gains for stockholders are directly matched by realized losses for short sellers who are forced to buy at any price to cover their positions.
It’s not wealth creation — it’s wealth transfer under pressure.
In the chaos of a market crash, those who looked like winners became losers — and those who looked like losers became winners.
