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.
I've been in the game for like 10 of the damnest
The plan is, to get paid, bread, money like I'm Ahkmed
Get on top of the pile and itll change the game, but the game ain't payin the same
The money and the fame itll short stop you, It'll even robot you
Cant even afford pop, the underground been good to us,
The whole world needa shoulda, woulda, could know us
And with Techs respect, his fan base let me cash the check
And Kali baby on deck, if you on next, I suggest you protect your investment
Get it right from the nearest exit, We graduated and glad we made it
And hopin we can elevate your mind, and next time you rewind
Listen to Genius and play the whole song, say Kali Baby dead wrong
(Chorus ???)
Dead wrong, if I take (???)
If I killed him, would you still love me (Dead Wrong)
Dead wrong , if I took (???)
If you feel me, then would you tell me?
Imma hog both legs, take the showd out (X3)
From juggalos to juggalets, from my new news to my vets
To my niggas in the projects, While they make it rain on em
I gain from em, they tat a nigga name on em
Yall know Krizz, heard him on a couple of features
You seen him in every city, a couple of beaches,
I hit a couple of beaches, when I was overseas, I think aborigines
Make our music to fly, If you could do it like I,
You see your people divide, can easily have your pick of the litter
Throw you headline and we bigger, welcome to the mid-western kings
Checks and things, blow money on our pinky rings
And we pushin Mercedes, play hot potato with ladies
Greatest, Kali Baby
(Chorus ???)
Dead wrong, if I take (???)
If I killed him, would you still love me (Dead Wrong)
Dead wrong , if I took (???)
If you feel me, then would you tell me?
Imma hog both legs, take the showd out (X3)
The plan is, to get paid, bread, money like I'm Ahkmed
Get on top of the pile and itll change the game, but the game ain't payin the same
The money and the fame itll short stop you, It'll even robot you
Cant even afford pop, the underground been good to us,
The whole world needa shoulda, woulda, could know us
And with Techs respect, his fan base let me cash the check
And Kali baby on deck, if you on next, I suggest you protect your investment
Get it right from the nearest exit, We graduated and glad we made it

The Night We Met

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"

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
