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.

The killa clowns in ya town raisin all hell
* Tecca Nina wit the stamina comin to damage ya
Buckin the bammer when I bust wit a bang
And it ain't no clause that say fraud ain't no tall tale
* Women love when I hit when I cover the booty
They givin it to me but it ain't no thang
We reppin KC MO fellas and the ladies know
* That we comin wit the killas I'm wit the gorillas
The villians that get ya when you disrespect us
Even the babies know Tech Nina got crazy flow
* We be givin the women the willy we sick of the hatas

This is important we be courtin every place we go
* Get you up in the room and drippin up wit the groom
I give it to you anyway you want to have it
Baby is a horse and yes of course I'ma have to break the hoe
* Leavin the kids at home I want to bone alone
We hoppin up and down like jack rabbits
So many kids put this on they daddies mind
* Never will I ever put 'em out there like that
Feelin that I did Tecca Nina take it right back
Tellin 'em that they mommy's boyfriends Tech N9ne
* Don't be lookin at me like you really want to fight cat
All Tecca Nina want to know is where the mic at

Regime, Outlawz, Duece Click in a zoo
Stack up when you wit the nut house we gonna have ya
* Takin everything up in the book from X and the puff
You lookin to get took
Abracadbra, 151 and coke is viagra
* Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Gotta real love from havin the bed shook
Look I'm hella fed up wit all the silly rumors dawg
* Sayin that we got dropped JCOR
That never ever happened I mean what do they know
We kept our head up and now moneys comin to us all
* We kickin it wit Strange wollowin fame
Givin the game only when I say so
So crack some bud wit me, demons get some love wit me
* Doin what you gotta do to get what you gotta get
It gotta get it all Tecca Ninas on a roll
Get on some shrub wit me, two cases of bud wit me

* That was the anthem no this the anthem
Hella rockin the planet again you can't stand it again
Huns, they then comin through to see me man
* Then I de-pants 'em and I bust at random
In a bit I'ma land 'em, dock, women I ram it again
Raise, I love to get high and get paid
* Why do I want to stick 'em wit another hit out of abyss
Baby you don't want to miss the ISH
Babes they love to come by and get laid
* Why am I at the pinnacle when I rip it I'ma kill 'em in this
To the hatas I gotta send 'em a gift
Bump this in your ride or in the club
* Givin everybody what they need
I give it all so they give it all back to me
Hatas don't you hide just show some love
* Do you dig it I'ma rep the be
And never ever let the see get the best of me
So many kids put this on their daddies mind
* Never will I put 'em out there like that
Feelin that I did Tecca Nina take it right back
Tellin him their mommy's boyfriend is Tech N9ne

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”
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
