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.
Ya no quiero saber nada
De todo lo que ha pasado
Si he sufrido si he llorado
Si he sentido si he amado
Para mí ya está olvidado
Nada quiero ya saber
Ya no quiero saber nada
De todo lo que ha pasado
Tu recuerdo voy a ahogarlo
Tu amor malo he de matarlo
Que fui tuya he de olvidarlo
Me hizo daño tu querer
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive
Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir
Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive
Qué va, qué va, qué va
Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir
Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes
De todo lo que ha pasado
Si he sufrido si he llorado
Si he sentido si he amado
Para mí ya está olvidado
Nada quiero ya saber
Ya no quiero saber nada
De todo lo que ha pasado
Tu recuerdo voy a ahogarlo
Tu amor malo he de matarlo
Que fui tuya he de olvidarlo
Me hizo daño tu querer
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive
Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir
Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Siendo la vida tan maravillosa
Llena de sueños y de bellas cosas
Para qué para qué para qué para qué llorar
Para qué para qué para qué para qué sufrir
Perder el tiempo así de qué me sirve
Si solamente una vez se vive
Qué va, qué va, qué va
Tú no me vas a hundir
Te juro por mi madre
No me vas a hundir
Tú crees que soy cobarde
Y no me vas a hundir
Te apuesto lo que quieras
Que tú a mi no me hundes

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
