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.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Whores and Sluts!
Step right up!
Behind this curtain is where all your fantasies come to life!
This is a place where you can escape.
Welcome to CANDYLAND!
Let me show you my game; Watch!
I put those shoes to shame; Ohh!
These rhymes that I write make you wanna' fuck all night.
When we take off our clothes; ahh.
She sucks me 'til it snows.
I'll fuck her face so hard.
She is my wild card.
My sticky lollipop; inside this sweet gumdrop.
Im about to explode; it feels too good to stop!
Just taste my tootsie roll.
You rub my icicle.
I gotta' get my fix; please lick my pixie stick.
Welcome to candyland.
I'll split your ass in two.
So take me by my head..
Lick it up, Slide it down.
And satisfy my sweet tooth!
Welcome to candyland.
You'll wanna' fuck me twice.
I'll be your gingerbread man.
First time naughty; Second time nice.
Candyland, candyland.
Just close your eyes and dream; a fantasy so obscene.
I'll take you by the hand.
This is my candyland.
You are my sweet playground..
Swallow my love 'til you drown!
I'll be your backdoor man.
Welcome to my candyland.
Welcome to candyland.
I'll split your ass in two.
So take me by my head..
Lick it up, Slide it down.
And satisfy my sweet tooth!
Welcome to candyland.
You'll wanna' fuck me twice.
I'll be your gingerbread man.
First time naughty; Second time nice.
You want my cock; Mine!
But it's mine.
So take a number, and get in line! What?!
Whip cream, and astroglide.
Take off my wrapper, and slip and slide.
Sticky like a lolli..
Blow me 'til i pop!
You can sample all my flavors, at my candyshop.
Cum shoots, gum drops.
Double fists, and blow pops.
Trick or treat, squeeze my meat.
Gimme' something sweet to eat.
Slip and slide on my face; you got that flavor I wanna' taste.
Lick it red hot..
Like your candycane.
You'd think I was a zombie by the way I give you brain.
Welcome to candyland.
I'll split your ass in two.
So take me by my head..
Lick it up, Slide it down.
And satisfy my sweet tooth!
Welcome to candyland.
You'll wanna' fuck me twice.
I'll be your gingerbread man.
First time naughty; Second time nice.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
No Surprises

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
I love this song, BOTDF SGTC forever!
