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.

And anything I talk I live it (yeah)
And everything as been like grining? (yeah)

[Black Rob]
Yo, this the Bad Boy mission and we got the goods here (here)
Play 'em to the left cause my right's my good ear (ear)
Trying to reach levels of a ill subliminal
Hoes know the fact that I'm a criminal (that's right)
The movie I'm facing, cutie looked Asian
One night, I bet she be off the hook paging them
(Singing) Soooo amazing, she's been waiting
[Chours: P. Diddy, Foxy Brown]

[Female: Bad Boy]
[P. Diddy]
My aim's to change the game cold (yeah)

Choppin' it down, cockin' the pound
Splat gate, vacate, niggas locking your town
[Craig Mack]
Hey yo

[Chorus]
[Kain]
(Overlaps last line of chorus)
Yo, spit that diva flow, fast slow, either o'
Keep that on a need to know
Freeze that so the milk ??? deep ????
Y'all can get beat, speak or go let the speakers blow

You don't wanna be shitting in a plastic bag
Gotta big green mit with a matching Jag (damn)
Bad Boy bitch, laugh at that motherfucker
[Foxy Brown]
I thought I that we won't stop (we won't stop)
I thought I told you Fox stay shotgun in the drop (Foxy Brown)
Take that rap game or rape that
And anything I feel I state that
I'm blatant like that (she blatant like that)
Can't feel bouncing right back
Fuck y'all bitches hating like that
Y'all niggas take heed when Fox rap
Bitches wanna dress just like that, the Sean Jean dress just like that
And I don't be frontin like that
I might just cock the hatch back, push the Bentley top back
I'm a Bad Girl at heart, shoulda made the move from the start
Bitch front bet the llama'll spark
(overlaps G. Dep's first line)
Motherfucker
[G. Dep]
??? the one who started the trend, be the first to reserve a the rims
So the insides match my Timbs
Make 'em say no fair, try to ball I'ma end your career
Like a can of Lysol put my name in the air
Say it, don't spray it might wet them up
Might push the panic button don't press your luck
Know the name G. Dep, I'm ghetto dependent
I'm in the hood like carburetors and engines
[Chorus]
[Outro: P. Diddy]
Don't stop now, let's go
Don't stop, let's go
Don't stop
We starting over

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
