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.
You wanna feel loose
You wanna see how I'm abused
You wanna get faded
You never wanna concentrate on me
I'm too much of an angel
I'm too much of a saint though I can't be
I'm too much of a reject you don't expect much from
I wanna feel safe
I wanna feel like I'm not hated too
I wanna get closer I wanna feel the most I get from you
I'm too much of a rebound
I'm too much on the ground though you can't be
Your always getting higher
You don't desire me
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Just wanted to stop by
Just wanted to see you
One last time
Just wanted to say bye
Just wanted to get you off my mind
Just wanted to fit in
But then I saw you with him
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Its up to me .. Its up to me
And I'm still falling
Its up to me .. its up to me
And I'm still calling
Its up to me
Its up to me
Its up to me and I'm still hoping
Its up to me for you to hold me
Its up to me to let you go
Its up to me
But for all you know
I'm already gone
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Its up to me
Its up to me
And I'm still falling
Its up to me
Its up to me
And I'm still calling
You wanna see how I'm abused
You wanna get faded
You never wanna concentrate on me
I'm too much of an angel
I'm too much of a saint though I can't be
I'm too much of a reject you don't expect much from
I wanna feel safe
I wanna feel like I'm not hated too
I wanna get closer I wanna feel the most I get from you
I'm too much of a rebound
I'm too much on the ground though you can't be
Your always getting higher
You don't desire me
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Just wanted to stop by
Just wanted to see you
One last time
Just wanted to say bye
Just wanted to get you off my mind
Just wanted to fit in
But then I saw you with him
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Its up to me .. Its up to me
And I'm still falling
Its up to me .. its up to me
And I'm still calling
Its up to me
Its up to me
Its up to me and I'm still hoping
Its up to me for you to hold me
Its up to me to let you go
Its up to me
But for all you know
I'm already gone
So what have I got to prove
And what have I got to lose
When your not worth fighting for
And why am I feeling down
While your out messing around and your
Not worth begging for
Its up to me
Its up to me
And I'm still falling
Its up to me
Its up to me
And I'm still calling

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
No one has commented this song, either. My favorite by FTA. BY FARRR.
