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.
Shawty said she wanna slide wit me
Said she don't like how my hoes come in a variety
I say fuck them hoes they not for me for whole society
All them hoes is fake at least I know them hoes gon die for me
Come be alive wit me she wanna slide wit me
Said she don't like how my hoes come in a variety
I say fuck them hoes they not for me for whole society
All them hoes is fake at least I know them hoes gon die for me
Come be alive wit me
I'm a fly ass nigga she a maggot
Opposites attract and I ain't talking bout no magnets
Them other niggas stagnant bad bitches can't have that
I don't ever sleep but can I come and take a cat nap
She a hard worker so you know I never see her
When I do I turn to michael jackson yeah you know I beat her
Know I eat her know I beat her cutter cutter like a clever
Like to see her on my peter up and down
She teeter teeter ya I take my time wit the eager beaver
I'm like eddie though so you know I'm tryna fuck ms cleaver
When I leave her ima teach her i'm not man a fucking creature
They want smoke I just decease em say don't join em I already beat em
Damn she say don't join em I already beat em she a real bich
Aim out the window she already steering ya
Falling in love is what I'm fucking fearing so I'm steering far as fucking fuck
From this fucking feeling fuck I think I need to get some air mane
So I drove to dia and hopped up on a airplane
Now it's going down like air tran I don't wear air walks but I swear I walk on air mane

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Little Feat
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”
Magical

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
“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.
