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.
Baby, have you seen, there is a snake in our paradise
A serpent that's wriggling between us
and freezing our feelings to ice
And with each drop of blood we bleed because of this
something so precious dies and it feels it really is...
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Darling, do you feel, there is a storm coming our way
The burning light between us is already starting to fade
The fire in our hearts is smothered by the rain
and the crimson flame of passion turns into something gray
And with each drop of blood our shattered hearts ever bleed
something so precious dies and is lost eternally
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Each teardrop from your eyes
makes something inside me die
Each of these days that draws us apart
takes a piece from my, takes a piece from my heart
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the storm away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the demons away
Killing Me Killing You
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the snake away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the serpent away
A serpent that's wriggling between us
and freezing our feelings to ice
And with each drop of blood we bleed because of this
something so precious dies and it feels it really is...
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Darling, do you feel, there is a storm coming our way
The burning light between us is already starting to fade
The fire in our hearts is smothered by the rain
and the crimson flame of passion turns into something gray
And with each drop of blood our shattered hearts ever bleed
something so precious dies and is lost eternally
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Each teardrop from your eyes
makes something inside me die
Each of these days that draws us apart
takes a piece from my, takes a piece from my heart
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the storm away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the demons away
Killing Me Killing You
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Killing Me Killing You
Killing all we have
As our loves wither away
Burning Me Burning You
Burning us to ash
Drowning us in a sea of flames
Kill me kill me kill me again with your love
and chase the snake away
Bring me bring me bring me the end with your love
and haunt the serpent away

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”
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
To me this soung is like some fat bitch is getting in the way of a beautiful relationship between two people by spreading lies talking their shit only because she is jealous that her freind(my ex :'( has a great relationship with a somewhat ok guy(me)! ok now that i got that out this song is just simply adorig.
