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.
Remeber last night at that party at your house?
Somethin went down after you passed out on the couch.
I can't recall, specific times, events or even the place
But all in all, your mom fell in love with my face
And when i woke up i was in her bed all a alone
After all we drank how was i suppossed to have known?
Your mom
Wanted me bad
Does this make me
Your step-dad
so sonny boy
have you done your chores
just get outta the house
cause i'm gonna score, with your mom
Hey im not to blame shes the one who came onto me
After i look back i thinks it really funny
that your little brothers first words ever were to me
And ill never forget the look on his face when he called me daddy
Now whats gonna happen since im a part of the family
can you understand that im your dad try to find a way to see
Your mom
Wanted me bad
Does this make me
Your step-dad
so sonny boy
have you done your chores
just get outta the house
cause i'm gonna score, with your mom
Hey dude can you get your stalker mom off my back?
I never knew i was THAT good in the sack
that weekend in vegas we got married without even thinking
you should tell your mom to lay off the heavy drinking
cause we never had a prenump
and now shes gonna have to see
im getting half of all her stuff
not to mention, joint custody!
Your mom
Wanted me bad
Does this make me
Your step-dad
so sonny boy
have you done your chores
just get outta the house
cause i'm gonna score, with your mom
Somethin went down after you passed out on the couch.
I can't recall, specific times, events or even the place
But all in all, your mom fell in love with my face
And when i woke up i was in her bed all a alone
After all we drank how was i suppossed to have known?
Your mom
Wanted me bad
Does this make me
Your step-dad
so sonny boy
have you done your chores
just get outta the house
cause i'm gonna score, with your mom
Hey im not to blame shes the one who came onto me

And ill never forget the look on his face when he called me daddy

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"
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
