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.
Ooohh
Shawty crunk on the floor wide open
Skeet so much they call her Billy Ocean
Roll like an 18 wheeler
That ho fine, but this ho killer
Ho's be drunk on it, pop
Let me see ya shake it baby, when you do the walk on it
Shake it like a salt shaker
Tremble like a vibrator
Shake it like a salt shaker
Tremble like a vibrator
So fresh, so mufuckin' clean
If a booty's a drug, then I'ma fiend
She slangin', like a damn drug dealer
Nice size booty, but I wish it was bigger
She pretty, like a 9 to 10
She wit it, and so is her friend (c'mon)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Maybe we can talk later (maybe we can talk later)
I'm dirty Murph, I got a lot on my mind
Like funeral line booty's got a lot of behind
Sometimes I like it shook and sometimes I like it stirred
But I also like a tattoo on top of that curve
I like that, do it again
Next time all my girls bring a friend
Work with it, go and twerk with it
Girl, Nelly said let Murph dirt hit it
Oooohhhh
Shawty crunk, on the floor wide open
Skeet so much, they call her Billy ocean
Roll, like a 18 wheeler (whomp whomp)

But all these wack bitches, where the bad ones at

And she don't stop, get it get it, pop a nookie
Got a tattoo on her naval sayin' 'Papi's Pussy'
And, will I hit it? (Yes) Will I trick? (No)

Been murkin' 'em, oh been workin' 'em
Queen of the south, they wanna do me
They wanna chew me, they just love the ghetto booty
This see this ass pop, I hit a g spot
Black slingshots, bikini holdin' a mean twat
And they whistle like birds when I pass through
It's a shame what this ass do, jumpin' out of Jag coupes
Niggas go to great heights

All face right, I got a badonkadonk
And I could back it up like a Tonka truck

I hope it's clean in there, before I be in there
Have you ever had a date wit a millionaire
With canary yellow diamonds shining everywhere
Slow motion, like Soulja told ya
Cut dat bullshit, and shake it like a ho suppose to
Right now, you only get one chance to prove it
Drop that ass to the floor, now wiggle and move it
I can tell how you feelin' my music
This year is a Ying Yang, Juvie exclusive
She leakin', her ass keep bouncin'
Whoever get up under the girl, she gon' drown 'em
So many hoes in here I can't count 'em
Anybody lookin' for freaks, I done found 'em

Get you in my house and dig off with you
Word on the streets that it bites like a Jada

That ass will make me more money than ice did Jacob
With an ass like that, who cares you're an A cup
Now drop it, take it to the floor, bring it back then stop her
Make it bounce, make it shake, make it clappa
Now move that ass like an ounce of crack, quick and fast
Ass so fat it's in the future and the past
She rides dick 'til it breaks, leave it in a cast
But you're not to keep it to yourself
Don't you dare leave it in the ass, oh no
I call her Miss VA, 'cause of the way she makes that thing Go Go
But you ain't a ho doe, mami I know
Same old story, here we go

The beat got her ass in a trance
Holdin' up her goddamn hands
Like I dunno why I wanna dance
But she shook-it, shook-it, shake-it every time she get a chance now
In the booty club, is the place to be
But the bitch so crunk, she'll shake for free
Got her up, get her crunk, that's what you gon' see
Bald head, pink popper dat punani
Money ain't a thang, I'm damn sure glad I came
Butt naked bitches gettin' off da chain
Bouncin' dat ass, like she ridin' a dick
Here's a ten, twenty, keep dancin' bitch
'Cause I like the way you shake dat shit

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
People are always calling me perverse and telling me that this song's 'bout dancing...but just think about it...Okay, take your hand, and pretend to "shake it like a salt shaker" very quickly...see what I mean?
