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
Midnight at the valet
He already knows gotta keep me up from
Heading out to security
Holding back the crowd as he opens the door
Give the fellas sipping haterade
To form a group and even get through the door
And it's OK 'cause it's the weekend
And it's a party for sure
All the shorty's are here tonight
Just left the shop and my wig is tight
I might not dance but baby I might
Everything's gonna be alright, alright
[Chorus]
There's a couple of friends up in here
The music's banging loud and clear
The temperature's rising, just about to pop
There's so much going on, I don't know where to start
I don't know, where, don't know where to start
I don't know, where, don't know where to start
Inside I see Lakers
And Clippers, everybody says Ho
Cause they know I got pro rings and I handle that
Girl shake you from Go
Thank God it's Friday
And a fresh one just poured me a drink
Now I know what they meant
When they said it's good to be the shit
All the shorty's are here tonight
Just left the shop and my wig is tight
I might not dance but baby I might
Everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
I don't know, where, don't know where to start
I don't know, where, don't know where to start
Tonight I broke my way in
I ain't getting here late
Look at all these fine ladies
I'm about to go blind
Look at all that dirt she's packin'
I'm about to blow a gasket
And I'm glad I brought some plastic
I can love her, I can love her
I can regain my composure
I don't want to look like Rover
OK my eye contact is over
I might contact you this time
Cause tonight, I'm living out my fantasy
My own little nasty world
Cause tonight, I gotta find me a freak
My own little nasty girl
[Chorus: x2]
I don't know, where, don't know where to start [Repeat: x4]

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”
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.

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.
