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, here we go
They can't stop my heart! Now get a party started alright! 気まぐれに任せて
It's like wonderland 踏み出したら alright!
Then I feel like I'm dreaming
Once upon a time あるカドの fast food店で
「Excuse me, we'll have two coke please」「Alright」勤めていた女の子は
かなり面白い夢を こっそり企んでいて yeah
「Did you finish mopping!?」全て投げ捨てて未来へ飛び出したの now let me sing
They can't stop my heart! Now get a party started alright! 思いを明日へ乗せ
It's like wonderland 手を伸ばせば alright!
Then I feel like I'm dreaming
Where're my ladies at? 手上げてな clap, clap, clap
My boys give me some love then, clap, clap, clap
Party people tear the roof up! Now clap, clap, clap
We're at the point まだ足んないなら clap, clap, clap, bring it back
Bang! Here I come! Here, I here I come get up now みんなもっと踊って
Shake yo booty リズム乗って (check this out)
Let me take yo'll to the place yo'll never been before
目を醒ます様なの欲しいんでしょ?
もっとエッジ効かして 声聞かして say「Oh yeah」(oh yeah)
Just like hamming birds in 感覚を潤わす world, see? My mind まだ止まんない
だって there comes the boom
分解して冷めないように (ないように) all night keep up with me (up with me)
Now bounce up baby, to the beat, come on, on, on, ooh
They can't disturb us! 描いたままに all night 溢れ出す思いを
From one's heart to heart 伝えてゆけば alright!
Do you wanna come in my dream?
We're going to the west! (Hey, yeah)
Come along party people! Come along with us, babe
So fresh & so clean, but still putting it down for the street
We say 「We're still in a dream」
So when you see the sun is up このままずっと yes! Even sing it louder!
もっと聴かせていて let's get together! Com'on!
They can't stop my heart! Now get a party started alright! 気まぐれに任せて
It's like wonderland 踏み出したら alright!
Then I feel like I'm dreaming
Well, we'll rock the house all night long
Yeah, like that day we had high kick, all in one and two
My girl wanted out, wicked on and on, come on
They can't stop my heart! Now get a party started alright! 思いを明日へ乗せ
It's like wonderland 手を伸ばせば alright!

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”
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."
