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.

Uncle Jxm in this motherfucker
Bad bitches do it big in this motherfucker
Let's go!
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Bitch shake that ass like I'm Too Short
And that bitch spendin' cash like it's a new sport
I'm in the bitch blowin' gas like it's a new sport
Ball so hard that I need two courts
I'm goin'
Let me see you get nasty, make that ass clap
You gon' let me hit you with this wood or not?
Young nigga comin' straight through with the guap
Got a bitch in Hollywood, she good with the top
Pussy pop, pussy pop
Show to me you're worth spendin' all this guap
Uncle Jxmmi tryna bring the freaks out
If they can make that ass clap let me see it now
Let me see it now, let me see it now
Baby bust it open like she from the south
She gon' break a nigga whole bank account
But she with some bouncers so she ain't playin' round
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Well I done got the whole spot on flood watch
I can tell she ain't never-ever missed a squat
Zig-zags in my pocket I'm afraid of pot
I'ma egg her on because she dancin' on my crouch
Niggas third wheelin' tryna cock-block
Young Swae in this bitch playin' with a fat knot
I wanna hit the bottle girl and your best friend
I brought a check in, that's what I call checkin' in
You know it's lit
Do the splits
New phone, who dis
Like my Porsche Carrera old girl see a brick
She gon' shake it cause we mean somethin' to the city
Every time she contort it, I support it
I see some broke niggas tryna put they dough together
I get to ballin' like Kobe in the fourth quarter
So much money on me I can't even get it sorted
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Let me see you bust it, shake it like a wet bucket
Shake it like you at the crap table feeling lucky
Shake it like some pancake mix in the morning
Let me see you do it on that dick cause I'm horny
Shake the panties off, baby girl, don't be boring
Never mind, the cameras girl, I swear we're not recordin'
She ain't got no gag, shawty, swallow all that pipe
No wonder why her nigga in the club tryna fight
Shawty do it all, it should be against the law
Lockjaw, she can suck a bowling ball through a straw
Gon' shake that ass, make it rain, make it splash
Outta cash, bout to swipe my black card between her ass
Me you, and you, let's do what it do
Leave this bitch then go get us a room
The bang-bang-bang like John Witherspoon
And we ain't wakin' up till tomorrow afternoon
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, girl shake it fast
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' cash
Don't be playin' when you see us, see us spendin' fast
I know a little freak from Hollywood
Sucks on dick, does it real good

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."
