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.
Oh yeah you look at me
When my baby
Is taking my hand
And we're walking and talking
And my parents
They don't wanna see me
My friends say I'm uncool
But I let love rule
oh yeah it's just because
I'm crazy in love
Crazy in love
Oh yeah it's just because
I'm crazy in love
Crazy in love
Don't you touch my boyfriend
He's not your boyfriend
He's mine
Don't you touch my boyfriend
He's not your boyfriend
He's mine
Oh Yeah we run away from private eyes,
To privacy,
My boy and me.
Oh yeah you look at me
When my baby
Is taking my hand
And we're walking and talking
Oh yeah it's just because
I'm crazy in love
Crazy in love
Don't you touch my boyfriend
He's not your boyfriend
He's mine
Don't you touch my boyfriend
He's not your boyfriend
He's mine
This boy really drives you mad
And you know that ain't bad, oh yeah
You'll love him till you die
This boy really drives you mad
And you know that ain't bad,
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah, It's just because
I'm crazy in love
Crazy in love
Oh yeah
It's just because
I'm crazy in love
Crazy in love
Don't you touch my boyfriend

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I touched him. Ooops.
ahaha, this is catchy :) And I do love the dance remix that little bit more just because I feel it just speeds the whole thing up. It's a great song just to dance to but alas, not really emotionally indepth, but then why would you dance to something like that
Reeeeally obvious message for this one - the words "back off bitch" spring to mind. x]
I'm so proud to be a Dane when I listen to Alphabeat. Their music is just so happy and up beat. They're really really great, and I like this song so much!

I don't think it matters so much about the lyrics. Sometimes I just wanna listen to happy music that makes you feel great. Yea the lyrics are pretty basic and so is the beat, but lets be honest it works!! and its much better than all the other 'serious' pop music out there.

love this song ! very very catchy and you find yourself singing it for a long time after it's been on. could direct it to one or two girls i know aswel :/
i think its about a mom and daughter who have an inbred ralationship, i dont think your explanations are gd
I listen to this and it just affirms something to me; Only the swedes and the danes can write actaully happy pop music. the english do it, but it's an upbeat tune with depressing lyrics. alphabeat make me smile.
