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.
Hey bitch touch this
Dooo yooo ay yayayahyay!
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
Standing there, all you do is stare
You got no soul, and you just don't care
About anything but yourself
Did you know other people exist?
Don't wanna hear about your life
Hang out with you?
I'd rather die!
Please stop wasting all my time
Your goddamn yourself hook all out
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
Woke up on two sides of society
To drag me down, you're gonna have to fight me!
I don't wanna shake your dirty hand
I don't wanna live in lala land
Mumma said you're a bit naive
Or just a bitch, who forgot to eat!
No real rave and no release
Your life is so fucking empty!
You don't have to suck dick to succeed
You don't have to suck dick to succeed

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.
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."

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
At a kate nash concert i went to, she said she wrote this song after "the worst party she's ever been to" where there were lots of celebrities talking about how skinny and cool they are. She was so frustrated, she went into the studio the next day to write/record this song. She said it made her feel better after she did that.
