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.
Now - I'm in my leather coat
K-swiss new and white as coke
Its 2:45 and I'm on the streets
And I'm fillmoe down never wantin to sleep
Now - bitin like a wolverine
Tight like a group when ya hold a beam
My phylosophy baby is hold the cream
Then blow the weed then fold the g's
Now - cadillac rida form
2-27 yo the god was born
Cruisin through the town like a brick
For 4 days rich
But somebody snitched don't quit
Now-
(chorus)
The situation ? like college chicks
I'm gonna show you what the dolla gets
My homegirl say her impala hit
But she's a lyin bitch
And I don't give a shit-now-
(repeat)
I done cracked the blunt
My lifes a game no time to front
?
And we laugh like hyinas
Nickatina muthafucka now
Crooked little mind of yours
All in the air like a condor
Bust like a 44 all through a wood door
Replican fillmoe get paid stay paid nigga now
With a brand new cobra snake
All in your face bitch flaunt my bank
Watch the red devil fight as they run the tank
Goldfish don't have a chance to live, muthafucka-now
Jeans in a perfect crease
The homeboys say nicky give a speech
Money comes sweeter than a georgia peach
And I'm talkin more shit in my k-swiss nigga-now
(chorus)x2
Now I'm in the mood for silence
? back lookin at the city of violence
Filled with malice
Float to dallas
Tell the punk bitch with her dad I'm at this now
45 caps I spit
All in the car man weed is lit
Imagine what all them g's will get
And I'm a greedy motherfucker can you feel this shit now
Actin like lazer tag
Through the airport with my polo bag
Touchdown now her come the gift of gat
Baby born to rap homie pull your gats now
The sound of a symphony
The bullets make a whistle that's harmony
The feelin of the pain is agony
Street court done made another tragedy now
(chorus)x2
K-swiss new and white as coke
Its 2:45 and I'm on the streets
And I'm fillmoe down never wantin to sleep
Now - bitin like a wolverine
Tight like a group when ya hold a beam

Then blow the weed then fold the g's
Now - cadillac rida form
2-27 yo the god was born
Cruisin through the town like a brick
For 4 days rich
But somebody snitched don't quit
Now-

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
