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.
Yeah, Suburban Noize, those Kottonmouth Kings
Freaks come out at night, the freaks come out...
Well... We're the freaks of the industry, Suburban Noize, Kottonmouth Kings
The freaks of the industry, and when ya see us backstage be prepared to G
Now they say that first do it means do it
Time to freak, Saint Dog gets to it
Not a heavy weight
But I'll go twelve rounds with a jab of the stick I'm going lick for lick
So give me the helmet, I'll be the stunt man
Just relax, and I won't front like arena
I mean to get the cream of the crop
And I'll be taking it slow, never missin' a spot
Yes caressin' your back, chest to chest, you're kissing on my nose ring
I'll whisper in your ear, Saint Dog Kottonmouth King
Oh big ST that's what you'll be screamin' and creamin'
But its not a wet dream its the real, the freaky dog, dog nasty
Never letting a kitty cat get past me
Without picking it up, petting it teasing it, taking 3 home and pleasing it
We're the freaks of the industry
Suburban Noize, Kottonmouth Kings
The freaks of the industry
And when ya see us back stage be prepared to G
Say you're G-in', nobody else is seein'
And the freak that your with's in front of you
Bending over naked as she's leaning on the dresser
Boo-yeah, you're looking at her from the rear
She looks just like Rebecca, not Rebecca with the singing career
But the X rated video queen, ya know what I mean?
All right here's the scene, you're lyin' on your back
With your head on the edge of the bed
The booty's 2 feet from your head, should you
A. take the time to find a condom
B. walk right over and you pound em
C. tell her that you want her love
well the answer is
D. all of the above
So you're freakin', the furniture's squeakin'
she's tweakin', saying that she's weak in the knees
Cheek for cheek, and pound for pound
I'm taxin' it and waxin' it and workin' it around
Till the booty starts makin' that clappin' sound
Which is cool but your friends are chillin' in the other room
The clap is getting louder, you don't want them to clown
You in this situation, what do you do?
A. plainly simply back up off her
B. you hit it just a little bit softer
C. you take it out and put it in her butt
Well D's for Daddy X yo, yo listen up
I put a towel on the floor by the 2 inch gap under the door
And now ya can't see me anymore, to the lock
Till they can't talk but they can listen
There'll be no bargin' in, there'll be no dissin'
Get back to the mission, broke out the whip cream and the cherries
I go through all the 5 positions
My head under her leg under my arm under her toe
She says I like it when you scream, Daddy let yourself go
I hit it, slid it, lick it, quit it, after the ride I put my clothes on I
walk outside
And before anybody has a chance to speak I say
Yo I'm Daddy X I guess I'm just a freak
We're the freaks of the industry
Suburban Noize, Kottonmouth kings
The freaks of the industry
And when ya see us back stage be prepared to G
Freaks come out at night, the freaks come out...
Well... We're the freaks of the industry, Suburban Noize, Kottonmouth Kings

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Little Feat
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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
