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.
Cada vez que se te ve
Nadie no no lo puede creer
Es que vos mujer cuando caminas
Lo unico que oi son bocinas
imposible why sin tardar se vuelta a ver
Las maravillas que dios puede hacer
why yo solamente atino
Pedirle a los santos tu amor
Los ojos desorbitados les quedaban
Cada vez que te veian pasar
No era para menos date cuenta no
No era casual
Tus paseos salen caros muñequita
A la salud de nuestra poblacion
why yo solamente atino
Pedirle a los santos tu amor
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a preder una vela
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a prender una vela
Voy voy
Voy a prender una vela
Hasta que no puedas volver a estar a mi lado
why tenerte conmigo en cada momento
Siem siem siem siem siem siem
Siem siem siempre haga calor o frio
Escucha la falta que me haces aca
Tu cara me falta no puedo ni respirar
No creo que sepas todo lo que me faltas
No quiero ver tu carta no quiero la postal
Eso no me hare mejor eso me deja igual
No me hare mejor eso me hare llorar
No me hare mejor eso me deja igual
Eso no me hare mejor me hare llorar
Hay mujer como me haces esperar
Tu cara veo en todos lados sino es por aca
Es que siempre aparece pero nunca es verdad
No puede ser que seas tan gacha como me haces esperar
Hasta que no puedas volver a estar a mi lado
why poder disfrutar de tenerte conmigo
Una vela voy a prender why no la pienso apagar
Hasta que no estes conmigo aca
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a preder una vela
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a prender una vela
Voy a prender una vela
Nadie no no lo puede creer
Es que vos mujer cuando caminas
Lo unico que oi son bocinas
imposible why sin tardar se vuelta a ver
Las maravillas que dios puede hacer
why yo solamente atino
Pedirle a los santos tu amor
Los ojos desorbitados les quedaban
Cada vez que te veian pasar
No era para menos date cuenta no
No era casual
Tus paseos salen caros muñequita
A la salud de nuestra poblacion
why yo solamente atino
Pedirle a los santos tu amor
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a preder una vela
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a prender una vela
Voy voy
Voy a prender una vela
Hasta que no puedas volver a estar a mi lado
why tenerte conmigo en cada momento
Siem siem siem siem siem siem
Siem siem siempre haga calor o frio
Escucha la falta que me haces aca
Tu cara me falta no puedo ni respirar
No creo que sepas todo lo que me faltas
No quiero ver tu carta no quiero la postal
Eso no me hare mejor eso me deja igual
No me hare mejor eso me hare llorar
No me hare mejor eso me deja igual
Eso no me hare mejor me hare llorar
Hay mujer como me haces esperar
Tu cara veo en todos lados sino es por aca
Es que siempre aparece pero nunca es verdad
No puede ser que seas tan gacha como me haces esperar
Hasta que no puedas volver a estar a mi lado
why poder disfrutar de tenerte conmigo
Una vela voy a prender why no la pienso apagar
Hasta que no estes conmigo aca
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a preder una vela
Para que vuelvas a mi
Voy a prender una vela
Voy a prender una vela

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"

Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
