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.
Hands tied; crucified, lost, found, entombed we collide.
Black whole, my brain,
Focus, insane,
Left out, betrayed,
Your hole, my vane,
I can't sustain, for much longer,
Without your pain, makes me stronger
Sandpaper licking my wounds, I want more, make me hate myself!
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
I can't feel with this fucking insane, I can't feel with you fucking my brain,
I can't feel unless you pushed from inside, I caress then crush, hope and the light,
I will burn this book, shove it inside, Shove it up my ass, spit out your pride,
I can't think, I'm just fucking instead, Somebody slit my throat, D.B.S!
Sandpaper licking my wounds, I want more, make me hate myself!
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
Ice cold, fit the mould, crushing me, I'm breaking free, I can't die in this balloon,
Blood! I wasn't born from this womb,
Pain! This world, crushing me alive,
Cum! My will is stone, my hope won't die,
Blood, pain, cum, insane,
Blood pain, cum, the same
I collide, consumed inside,
This hate, this life, then we slide,
Entombed inside we collide,
I collide, then it dies
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
Breaking free
Black whole, my brain,
Focus, insane,
Left out, betrayed,
Your hole, my vane,
I can't sustain, for much longer,
Without your pain, makes me stronger
Sandpaper licking my wounds, I want more, make me hate myself!
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
I can't feel with this fucking insane, I can't feel with you fucking my brain,
I can't feel unless you pushed from inside, I caress then crush, hope and the light,
I will burn this book, shove it inside, Shove it up my ass, spit out your pride,
I can't think, I'm just fucking instead, Somebody slit my throat, D.B.S!
Sandpaper licking my wounds, I want more, make me hate myself!
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
Ice cold, fit the mould, crushing me, I'm breaking free, I can't die in this balloon,
Blood! I wasn't born from this womb,
Pain! This world, crushing me alive,
Cum! My will is stone, my hope won't die,
Blood, pain, cum, insane,
Blood pain, cum, the same
I collide, consumed inside,
This hate, this life, then we slide,
Entombed inside we collide,
I collide, then it dies
Ice cold, disown, sickened now,
I can't die in this balloon, suffocating,
This world, disown, sickened now, and now I'm breaking free
Breaking free

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Death By Stereo is such a good band, why no comments?
Cause people aren't cool.
Love this song, and his voice.
Amazingness.
I know! What's up with no comments?
My theory of this song- It's about drugs.
Could get into detail but I'm to lazy at the moment ha.
About drugs? About Sex? About Dominatrix? D=
Death for Life! Death for Life!
