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.
Slushai me
Uniniyata zabravi
Chui, za sinite skali si pripomni
Nov pat vseki den napred nameri
Kak obichashe da se katerish
Kotkata v orel dnes prevarni
(Utro moe...)
Izvan kartata da izleti
(Utro moe...)
S badeshteto si ako igraesh,
(Utro moe...)
Da e ot men
Slushai me
Uniniyata zabravi
Chui, za sinite skali si pripomni
Nov pat vseki den napred nameri
Kak obichashe da se katerish
Kotkata v orel dnes prevarni
Izvan kartata da izleti
S badeshteto si ako igraesh,
Realno I valshebno
[english translation:]
Listen to me
Forget despondencies
Listen, remember the blue cliffs
Find a new road forward every day
How you loved to climb
Turn the cat into an eagle today
(morning of mine)
To fly off the map
(morning of mine)
If you?re going to play with your future,
(morning of mine)
Let it be from me
Listen to me
Forget despondencies
Listen, remember the blue cliffs
Find a new road forward every day
How you loved to climb
Turn the cat into an eagle today
To fly off the map
If you?re going to play with your future,
Real and magical

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”
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
