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.
Turn me on 'cause I need it now
Turn me on 'cause I don't know how
Pick me up and shake me
Tune me in and take me
Lights are bright and the music's loud
Let me know what I need to know
Make me go where I want to go
Let me stand and wonder
Let me feel the thunder
See the lightning and the picture show
Put your hand on the power
Turn me on again and again
Say you're always gonna be my friend
Love me like you mean it
Make a mess and clean it
Don't you stop 'til I tell you when
Got a feeling something's taken hold
'Cause I'm flying by remote control
No misunderstanding
Before I make a landing
I'll lose my mind and I'll trade my soul
Put your hand on the power
When I look you in the eye
Then it's everything I need
Let me look you in the eye
'til the spell comes over me
Turn me on
Making the colors bright
Turn me on
Making it go all night
Turn me on
Giving me louder sound
Turn me on
Making it spin around
Turn me on
Sing and dance for me
Turn me on
Keeping me company
Turn me on
Making it fast and hot
Turn me on
Give me a different shot
Put your hand on the power
Turn me on
Making the colors bright
Turn me on
Making it go all night
Turn me on
Giving me louder sound
Turn me on
Making it spin around
Turn me on
Sing and dance for me
Turn me on
Keeping me company
Turn me on
Making it fast and hot
Turn me on
Give me a different shot
Put your hand on the power
Why don't you turn me on
Turn me on 'cause I don't know how
Pick me up and shake me
Tune me in and take me
Lights are bright and the music's loud
Let me know what I need to know
Make me go where I want to go
Let me stand and wonder
Let me feel the thunder
See the lightning and the picture show
Put your hand on the power
Turn me on again and again
Say you're always gonna be my friend
Love me like you mean it
Make a mess and clean it
Don't you stop 'til I tell you when
Got a feeling something's taken hold
'Cause I'm flying by remote control
No misunderstanding
Before I make a landing
I'll lose my mind and I'll trade my soul
Put your hand on the power
When I look you in the eye
Then it's everything I need
Let me look you in the eye
'til the spell comes over me
Turn me on
Making the colors bright
Turn me on
Making it go all night
Turn me on
Giving me louder sound
Turn me on
Making it spin around
Turn me on
Sing and dance for me
Turn me on
Keeping me company
Turn me on
Making it fast and hot
Turn me on
Give me a different shot
Put your hand on the power
Turn me on
Making the colors bright
Turn me on
Making it go all night
Turn me on
Giving me louder sound
Turn me on
Making it spin around
Turn me on
Sing and dance for me
Turn me on
Keeping me company
Turn me on
Making it fast and hot
Turn me on
Give me a different shot
Put your hand on the power
Why don't you turn me on

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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 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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
