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.

Yeah Lil Sneak Dogg up in this mutherfucker
1300 block
this shit is poppin
(Verse 1)
Another day I try to stay clean of the scene
With drama for your mama
Everytime u trying to stack that green
The magazine be busting
And im hustling for my paper
Gotta say yo blood
You know The block is fill with fucken haters
No help from the mayor
You on your own
Voice with a soft tone
With your polo cologne
Don't say nothing on the phone
Fivo hanging on the chord
Im looking over my shoulder
Still a laos boys soilder
Im dranking 40 stacking chip
Putting in clips don't slip don't trip
Get some kicks that have some good grip
Blood everybody for their self
you still got a heart to start a war
Fuck them marks
Peel them caps
Yeah that be smart
Lil sneak dogg
Cant go strait
So many punks that gone hate
So many muterfucken way they gone make
The scene imma shake
ride on them buster
I don't give a fuck
To them punks bitches dicks they can suck
(chorus x2)
where Im from
is do or die
when its time to ride
nips on the block
screaming out nutty side
killa kali is where we bound to shine
slang that A1 yolla
looking out for one time
(Verse 2)
Im living in the ghetto
Raise as a young hog
Just hold on
Don't let down
We all gonna make it dog
Its all about the looking back
Remerging the fast lane
Mama stressing so hard
I Gotta stop the mary jane
Its insane
Come feel me
Im trying to do good
But everytime im moving up
Mutherfuckers trippen on the hood
I gotta be back
Holding the strap
With the fivo in the corner
This shit is brazy (meaning crazy)
They 'll kick in your door
And pull them straps on ya
Aint no love for them fivo
Always trying to find a way to kick in your door
We call them ho's
they trippen where the spot I'll be at
I admit though them bitches got some fat ass strap
How can I live
It seems that im trap
I need to find a way out
But probably looking back
I'll be higher then before
When cast a spin up
When money aint a thang
Then when im living it up
Mutherfucker
(Chorus 2X)
(Verse3)
Ride up ride in
Welcome to the S.I.N (my neighborhood)
Walking through the block
Sippen on that juice and gin
6 time going brazy
Lazy boy got that 411
Info for the nutty side
Who ride load the nine
Hit the dank
What you thank
Everybody feeling cool
Smoking on the blunt
And rolling up that boogie boo
Now puff puff puff
Till you wanna fucken pass that J
My way the other way
Or hit it some more
Hey
Aint mutherfuckers stingy on the BLOCK
Droppin bombs
Putting it down for this NSLB
Putting suckers on their back
Is what my OG told me
Hate a b
Hate a g
Slanging them fat as these
Release out
All yo fucken anger
When you get caught up in the tangle
Beats on steady
Muthersfucers come equip
Mutherfuckers pass me the mic
And spit this lyrics
(Chorus4X)

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.

“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.
Head > Heels

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
