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.

(Chorus)
ruff out here
I'm out here fightin
cold and hungry
fish ain't bittin
Life's so frightening
i'm damn near thumpin
cold and crumbling
nothin's hatching
now I'm back
in stuck in the cold in the cold with no place to go
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaa
stuck in the cold in the cold no place to go
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaa
I'm out here fightin
cold and hungry
fish ain't bittin
lights so brightlin
damn near thumpin
broke and crumbling
nothin's hatchin
now I'm back
in stuck in the cold in the cold with no place to go

show and proove to all the ruff man in stove fuse burn it's bomb week
watch when i snug e'm

but the dust when the mightiest to the finest crust
the blindest the vodka's don't yo

unkind it's hard to manage
FBI
and the Public Eye
the rap seems sord of savage but those
live in the math
as doc cash livin fast
shang fool anger
consealed in IMS
out the ass of the 36 chamber
god get a grasp
it's rhyme time
time's is gettin harder
damn he spoilled rotten
hot livin colla
remember when coke was $18.00 a gram
now i was a scholar for sellin bottles
now I'm in the high class models
never to rest
material's his Eyes
on fire on my chest
stress full throttle
russian's still place yard testin my strengh
fuck you with my motto
"huff"
here why ??????? For survivel I monster truck you
buck you some more
you be stuck to the wall with a big fuck you fuck you
in the search continue
i build to fill my cup
for peace of american life
i don't really give a fuck
i don't want to die i don't want to go
i wan't total knowledge i don't want to be hold left in the cold pickin up

my lung's are grungy die harder four course swash by diction in the graphd

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”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
