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.
Soy como una fiera enjaulada
Muriéndose de ganas de borrar las
Dudas plantándote cara
Tengo que morderme la lengua
Cuento tres; no digo nada
Y el peligro se haré gas
Dar un paso atrás
Forzar el límite
Crear tensión
Ver quien de los dos resiste mas presión
Par de dos
Que se van
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que el fútbol va con la tarde del domingo
Par de dos
Tal para cual
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que se van lija y cerillo hasta el final
Siento que tu cuerpo y el mio
Son llave con cerrojo
Pelusa y ombligo, capricho y antojo
Siendo que sin uno no hay otro
Porque no nos vendamos los ojos
Y en el nombre del amor
Con un paso atrás dejamos tácticas
Gato y ratón
Y aceptamos la derrota de los dos
Par de dos
Que se van
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que el fútbol va con la tarde del domingo
Par de dos
Tal para cual
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que se van dedos y anillo
Mucho más
Par de dos
Muriéndose de ganas de borrar las
Dudas plantándote cara
Tengo que morderme la lengua
Cuento tres; no digo nada
Y el peligro se haré gas
Dar un paso atrás
Forzar el límite
Crear tensión
Ver quien de los dos resiste mas presión
Par de dos
Que se van
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que el fútbol va con la tarde del domingo
Par de dos
Tal para cual
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que se van lija y cerillo hasta el final
Siento que tu cuerpo y el mio
Son llave con cerrojo
Pelusa y ombligo, capricho y antojo
Siendo que sin uno no hay otro
Porque no nos vendamos los ojos
Y en el nombre del amor
Con un paso atrás dejamos tácticas
Gato y ratón
Y aceptamos la derrota de los dos
Par de dos
Que se van
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que el fútbol va con la tarde del domingo
Par de dos
Tal para cual
Como pan y chocolate, igual
Que se van dedos y anillo
Mucho más
Par de dos

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
