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.
[Verse - Violent J]
2:45 and the bell went off
Thank God, many people think I'm odd
But I talk with no one and I walk alone
And I avoid sunlight with a chalky tone
I get home and don't say hi, it ain't no one there
I don't care I walk in and go right up the stairs
To my room, get in bed and just wait for dark
Because that's when the real show start (tap tap)
"Tap tap" on the glass go the piece of ass
So young and pretty it's too bad she past
But she comes to my room and we talk at night
She's demonic and bloody, but she holds me tight
In my bedroom, with her I'm never alone
And I kiss her cold lips until the morning come
Then she gone, I can still hear her voice loom
But she only exist in the dark of my room
[Hook - (Violent J) & {Shaggy 2 Dope}]
Love..(I can't ignore you)
In my room..(do anything for you baby) {tap tap}
Love..(I do adore you)
In my room..you and I...{Tap tap go the piece of ass}
Love..(I can't ignore you)
In my room..(do anything for you baby) {tap tap}
Love..(I do adore you)

[Verse - Violent J]
I try to smile a lot, but I'm always frontin'
But I do love a ghost and at least that's somethin'
She don't talk much, when she do it gets cold
Usually we just lay there and we hold each other
We're lovers, we don't need others
One of my mother's cats jumped up on the covers
And it scared my baby, guess she don't like pets
So I twisted it's fuckin' head off at the neck
Look baby, it's bloody, it's gone, it's doomed
Please...come back to the room
I'll do anything for thy, don't ignore me
This is more than a sick love story
Without you I'd bring a shotgun to school
And I will if you want me to for any reason
I hate that you leave when the lights come on
And if I had it my way the fuckin' sun would be gone
[Hook - (Violent J) & {Shaggy 2 Dope}]

[Verse - Violent J]
Sometimes I kiss her, I start shakin'
She slips me the tongue and it tastes like bacon
Uh oh, something's wrong baby's upset
She told me she was spotted by the neighbor's kid
She can't come back now 'cause they know our secret
Unless I can make them keep it
If I do she may come to life
Now I'm in their yard with a shotgun and knife
Cut the screen, went in and found the kid
Blew a bowl of spaghetti in the side of his head
And the daddy was next runnin' down the hall
I shredded his throat and he was quick to fall
Tossed the Mossberg and gripped the knife
Started stabbin' the shit outta his wife
Went home a bloody mess with a job well done (tap tap)
Wash up and wait for my baby to come (tap tap)

I waited 2 or 3 days, 4 days
Waitin' for the "tap tap" like always
I waited and hated this (tap tap)
I created a bloody mess (tap tap)
I waited 2 or 3 months, 4 months
Waitin' for the "tap tap" just for once
I waited and hated this (tap tap)
I created a bloody mess (tap tap)

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"

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
This is my fav on there, well for me, best cd, Hell's Pit. Its dark, and violent. Gotta love dat wicked shit.
Easy meaning hes in love with a ghost
I think the ghost is the wife who has out of body experiences. Thus the reason why she always leaves at sun up, since most people wake up early in the morning. While she's out of body she visits him as a plan to get rid of her family, which is why she tells him about the lil boy seen them together. However, instead of just killin the lil boy he kills the entire family and therefore she's unable to come back over to his room.
It's a song in which peope can take many meanings from it. The main meaning is to not kill people for any chick, dead or alive. They're not worth it...reminds me of the song "Under The Moon".
the song has a little more meaning than hes in love with a ghost. i think the underlying meaning is something along the lines of: if ur girl leaves u, dont freak out or do anything drastic becuz most likely she wont come back...esp if u do something effed up. he killed that family to get her to come back...but she never did. and at the end of the song hes screaming "where is she? why isnt she coming back? i effing killed all these people (or something like that)! where the eff is she? why isnt she coming back? i cant believe i did it! i killed them! where is she?" soooo...yah...i think thats the meaning of the song
this could be taken two way one really nice and romanic and one pretty twisid... the nice one is well this is showing that forbidden love does happen and can happen and as long as your happy good for you :) but also when you become so wraped up in it you can do some pretty stupid shit... the twistid version is that tha ghost is using the man and tells him that she cant some back unless the boy is rid of.. really the boy and dad could be her family and she wants them with her in the other world so she uses the man to kill them
I always thought the ghost was the ghost of the girl next door whom the singer loved, and dies. Now she's back, haunting J, but the motivation is clear- he must kill the family next foor for her so she can be reunited with her family. She doesn't come back because now her parents and brother are ghosts with her.
Regardless, there is at least a double meaning here about hopeless love and being used by your lover.
to me this song means if she wants you to do asomething big that could possably get you arrested dont do it cuz thats all she prolly wanted to happen in the first place. this song is amazing. it means a lot to me. i listen to it over a thousand times. its amzzing
A good song and an archetypical horror story. The ghost girl disappears at the end which seems very logical, but what is the reason? It might be the girl was an evil entity, like a succubus, seducing the protagonist to commit a murder to then leave him with the horror of what he has done. Also it might mean she is protagonist's hallucination (after all he is a loner), but why does this delusion disappears after he commits a murder? Maybe the murder causes a psychological transformation in him, this intense experience makes his hallucinations disappear. Anyway this ambiguous Shining-esque horror tale in a form of a song is one of the best ICP creations in my opinion.
All these interpretations have some sorta deep meaning about not doing something effed up for a girl or about the family he killed being hers meanwhile I just kinda always assumed it\'s about a guy with schizophrenia ????
