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.
Intergalactic gas surrounds the core of the solar
Now I'm born a supernova, blow your mind to bipolar
I switch my league from the degrees of lava
Back to the surface of the solar
Holding torches with the rage of Iatola
I snare trap the Fahrenheit, and ignite electrolytes
Now I hold the aftermath of pipe bombs and back drafts
My lyricism holds your mind like a Pharaoh
So I command MC's to burn to the 3rd degree
Then proceed to bone marrow
I'm the arsonist who confuse tools criminologist use
Lighter fluid lace my vocal tone, the flame is the chaperon
Don't engage the sun dweller, fire starter from the cellar
I scorch the outer limits and fossilize all ligaments
I'm flammable
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
I crave to misbehave with heat waves and laser rays
Lightning storms leave you torn and send debre airborne
Protective fire suits and gas mask don't comply
When the live arsonist improvise and optimize
The method to immobilize and victimize
Witness hells architect, spit brimstone dialect
With nitrogen concepts I blow your manuscript to level X
Unlimited carnage supply when I the human scorch
Blow torch your front porch, and do it twice like Gemini
Volcanic bandit insane, with the rapid fire propane
My see-4 is qualified, cloud of ashes fill the sky
Choice of fuel acid rain, blow your mind from sub terrain
I return to supernova baptize in the solar
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Time's about to expire, will I ever retire
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline, yo
I rain fire, I burn live wires and cause friction
Spit flames that will give your brain addictions
I cross lines like crucifixions with Celsius degrees
And temperatures that will lock in position
It's my dereliction, when I'm inside your jurisdiction
Shut 'em down and lock 'em out like evictions
Arsenic heat no restrictions
Verbal back drafts of demolition never programmable
I'm flammable
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Times about to expire, will I ever retire?
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire
Don't intervene when I'm standing in the kerosene
Times about to expire, will I ever retire?
I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
Now I'm born a supernova, blow your mind to bipolar
I switch my league from the degrees of lava
Back to the surface of the solar
Holding torches with the rage of Iatola
I snare trap the Fahrenheit, and ignite electrolytes
Now I hold the aftermath of pipe bombs and back drafts
My lyricism holds your mind like a Pharaoh
So I command MC's to burn to the 3rd degree

I'm the arsonist who confuse tools criminologist use

I got a scheme with the lighter and the gasoline
This situation is fire, arsenic live wire

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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.
