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.
[Intro: T-Pain & Field Mob]
Hello!
Oh, yeah

Young Fyre
Lemme hear you say Kang
K-a-n-g, Kang
Okay, lets go in
[Verse 1: T-Pain]
Teddy Pain is the name, bitch don't get it confused
All you lames in the game have never spit on a dude
Tell your dame to get a swimsuit and come get in my pool
She nodded once and now we working on (mmhmm)
I pull up on you with the quick fast, style on yo bitch ass
You niggas ain't holding weight the rap game been drinking SlimFast
See i go ham sandwich on everything i do
So when i put it down, all you pussy niggas can say it's (Woo!)
Da bad mon flow, niggas like whatsagan
Fyre dropping fire, ain't no need to turn the water on
So gimme a bitch with enough ass to put some butter on
And imma drop that shit that'll make a nigga feel guts all when it cuts it off
[Chorus]
If I'm lying, I'm down, I'm the bidness
Throw me in the jungle with a lion, Imma kill it
Die hard nigga, call me Bruce Willis
No time for fake shit, homeboy I'm the realest nigga
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
Too dangerous, too dangerous
[Verse 2: Smoke]
K is nothing new to me, so hate on, hate on
My eighty-year old twin sisters, same ol', same ol'
It's clearer than unicorn having glitter but six
With a fairy, skiing down that double rainbow
Range Rove, no shoes, the truck got the bare feet out
No more Ramen Noodles, like a dike I go and eat out
I'm bald headed, but still Nappy Boy is the click
Like game in sex, we the shit on a stick (pause)
My Chevrolet Camaro's high yellower than that nigga Drake
Rims blacker than Wesley Snipes, I'm sitting on blades
Like a barn on fire, I'm burning heavy hay
And Smoke stands for smoke, loads'a kush everyday
[Chorus]
If I'm lying, I'm down, I'm the bidness
Throw me in the jungle with a lion, Imma kill it
Die hard nigga, call me Bruce Willis
No time for fake shit, homeboy I'm the realest nigga
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
Too dangerous, too dangerous
[Verse 3: Shawn Jay]
They ask me what happen with Field Mob, I say two different egos clashing
Like Andre 3K and CeeLo's fashion
Got micro-smoke dose responds with so outrageous
Ya girl say Shawn Jay, ya smoke my favorite
I got her up in MySpace, smoking my grape kush
She follow me like I'm Twitter, then I poke her like Facebook
Realest nigga ever known, killin' every song
I don't fuck with lil boys, I ain't Bishop Eddie Long
I ain't trippin, nigga, go 'head, hate us bitch
These fact's I'm a mack, but I don't make up shit
I keep a click of killers with me winked up like ya baby mama
I'm a don with a Caddy, pussy nigga bring the drama
[Chorus]
If I'm lying, I'm down, I'm the bidness
Throw me in the jungle with a lion, Imma kill it
Die hard nigga, call me Bruce Willis
No time for fake shit, homeboy I'm the realest nigga
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
You can't see me, no, I'm too dangerous
Too dangerous, too dangerous

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
