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.
Ya ves mi edad es tan difícil de llevar
Mezcla de pasión ingenuidad, difícil controlar
Tu siempre tan fantástica y yo sé
Que tengo mucho que aprender, pero tú también
Yo sigo pretendiendo desnudar
A media luz tu intimidad
Y vestir mi piel
Sabes aprovecharte de la luz que desprendo al mirarte
Mi habitación en silencio está
Templado el aire y yo, que pienso en soledad
Locamente enamorado, locamente enamorado
No sé que es lo que me pasa
Pero sólo puedo pensar en ti
Locamente enamorado, locamente enamorado, si
Todo irá bien, ya verás, me digo porque quiero estar
Convencido
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente, pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Es tan bonito esto de soñar
Tan violenta la verdad, ya no puedo más
Pero ya me conoces y aunque todo se hunda
Yo seguiré aquí en pie, en pie
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Mezcla de pasión ingenuidad, difícil controlar
Tu siempre tan fantástica y yo sé
Que tengo mucho que aprender, pero tú también
Yo sigo pretendiendo desnudar
A media luz tu intimidad
Y vestir mi piel
Sabes aprovecharte de la luz que desprendo al mirarte
Mi habitación en silencio está
Templado el aire y yo, que pienso en soledad
Locamente enamorado, locamente enamorado
No sé que es lo que me pasa
Pero sólo puedo pensar en ti
Locamente enamorado, locamente enamorado, si
Todo irá bien, ya verás, me digo porque quiero estar
Convencido
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente, pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Es tan bonito esto de soñar
Tan violenta la verdad, ya no puedo más
Pero ya me conoces y aunque todo se hunda
Yo seguiré aquí en pie, en pie
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Compartiendo las miradas
Con las luces apagadas
Empiezo a sentirme yo mismo a sentirme más seguro
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte
Son tan fuertes tus miradas
Elegantes y estudiadas
Yo soy sólo un adolescente pero entraré en tu mente
Pisando fuerte, pisando fuerte

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."
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
This is obviously about a young man (a teenager) who has a romance with an older woman, maybe someone professional and very secure about herself in working matters.
But she also has a crush on him and so they share some level of sexual intimacy, and he is still a little shy and insecure but he is sure he's eventually gonna get over those insecurities and will fully live their relationship.
