The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I'm Violent J. I breathe toxic fumes and throw my lungs up all over your brand new patent-leather penny loafers, you ffffuck.
I'm 2 Dope. I got sick ass sewer sludge stuck in my throat. And I live in a big pipe on Zug Island. So stop by and have a bowl of rust, you fucking bitch ass faggot. Faggot. You bitch ass faggot.
I'm in a southwest Detroit Del Ray Inner City ghetto street gang. I got people who want me dead, but everytime they run up on me, I get scared, and my skull explodes all over those motherfuckers.
Sometimes I get hungry, man. But there ain't nothing in the box but a brick sandwich. So I start hurting that motherfucker. And I chew on that bitch till my jaw breaks. Which don't fade me, cause I'm a hoodlum. And I don't exist to you fucks.
You fucks. You green grass fucks. Fuck me and I'll fuck you, fucker.
We coming, motherfucker...we coming to get ya...coming to get ya...How you see me is what you get. It's all how you see me is what ya get. Carnival of Carnage is coming...How you see me is what you get.
I was snooking good in my bed
Woke up to find my brain fell out my head
Stuffed it back in with a screwdriver
Rah! Rah! I'm that much liver
I can walk on my hands on a tight rope
But then I always fall...and bust my ass
But it don't matter, really don't matter
Don't matter, don't matter, cause I'm in the haugh!!!
In the haugh, in the haugh!
Violent Violent J's in the motherfucking haugh!
I'm in the haugh, you's in the haugh!
We in the motherfucking WHAT?!!! Haugh!
Wicked wicked town
Southwest down
Wicked jokers kill
Southwest thrill
Get off me dog, I'm shitfaced
I mean, I ain't got shit on my face, but ya know
People in the suburbs hate me (Why?)
Southwest carnival crazy (Ahh!!)
My mind ain't nothing but a lemon
I mean it's fucking yellow and shit
I don't know man, fuck off
You can't fade me, vato, cause I'm in the haugh!

I'm Greez-E and I can moonwalk
But I don't cause that shit's so fucking played out
Instead I just grab this wang
And tell you that I'm in the haugh, bitch
Parachute pants and moon boots
Chilling on the corner, butt-naked, hurting Fruit Loops
Fuck a hillbilly goat
Sitting in the tub, I'll let my nuts float
Cause I'm in the haugh
In the haugh, in the haugh!
Greez-E's in the motherfucking haugh!
I'm in the haugh, you's in the haugh!
We's in the motherfucking WHAT?!!! Haugh!

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I love this track off of Beverly Kills 50187 e.p. & its like the only real track ICP did with Greez-E before he quit the group & it just became Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope the main members of the group
