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.
Immerse yourself in this moment
Think about our rebirth
Let's get connected
Let's get united
Let's run away out of these vows of these men of structure
Whoa I want to get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
Oh oh
Here comes the rebirth
Pushing outwards
From our swollen hearts
It's time to fuse ourselves when love set free loves burning spirit
'Cause everyone seems
Cold and emotionless
I can smell the hunger, taste the angry air who resurrects this
This this is tha
Rebirth
You'll find a place where
You'll beholden to no one
Except yourself so let them come and see ya standing naked
Full of passion
Flowing inside out
Into creation becoming one with present
So go get connected
Unshackled essence
Lets fuck away morality, you might be independent
Oh I want to get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
Oh oh
Immerse yourself in this moment
Think about our rebirth
Before we die
Before we die
Before I die
Before I die
Before I die
Lets get connected
Lets get united
Lets run away to accept that we all are different
I want to get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
Before we die
Before we die
Before I die
'Cause
This
Is
The
Rebirth

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"
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i relate to this song. it has energy in the guitar work and emotion in the vocals. it's about leaving behind the structured society and finding a rebirth into the freedom of peace and passion. i've had this CD in my car for about a month now, and it hasn't left without a great deal of protest from me, and then it immediately goes back in once the space is freed up. musically, these guys are very talented.
i love the way that unlike most nu metally bands they don't hate everything. their songs are really uplifting
First person to comment here in 4 years. Chyeah. I agree though, they're not just saying "FUCK EVERYTHING!!!1" but there's actually a lot of meaning behind their songs.
Boy Hits Car is the best band... Period... CRegg and the rest of them are all the coolest, most laid back people there is... Awesome song to kick off a concert with. They tore it up, once again, here in Atlanta. groups.myspace.com/boyhitsatlanta
I'm sorry to be a downer on this, but the song isn't doing much for me. Boy Hits Car is a good band though.
