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.
Sorrow, no
Sorrow, no
Causing you sorrow, no
Don't smoke in bed, with me
Sorrow, no
Sorrow, no
Causing you sorrow, no
Don't smoke in bed, with me
Your phone calls, don't think they're wearing me out, they're not
But I'm mostly english, mostly english
Difficult people slip away
Feeling that way about difficult people
Feeling that way about difficult people
Slip away, slip away
You're beautiful but slip away
You're beautiful
Hearing you through the door, fast
Slip away
You're beautiful but slip away
You're beautiful but you're gonna slip away like that
Feeling that way about difficult people
Come close to the phone
Closer to the phone
Should I, same time, don't keep me
Should I, same time, don't keep me
A friend from the 11th
Make up your mind, make up your mind
Make up your higher
You're higher the first time
You're higher too many days since
We've met before, don't be disappointed
We've met before, don't be disappointed
Keep, don't keep me
It's the new past
It's the new past
Holding you is like the new past
Holding you is like the new past
What's go, what's go, I'm not leaving
W w the many ways, the many many ways
Yeah, talking so like that
Talking so like that
The many ways, the many w-w-ways
The many ways, the many ways
S l, the many ways
Eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like
Lotus leaves
Eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like
Lotus leaves
The many ways, the many w-w-ways
I see the many ways, ha ha
See things sure
Eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like
Lotus leaves
Eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like
Lotus leaves
The same, make it remind
The many ways, the many w-w-ways, the many ways
Eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like
It's quite decided how the boy can figure
It's quite decided how the boy can figure
V-v-v-v changing it, two beats and the boy can figure
Everything going that way, I found you
It's quite decided how the boy can figure
Two beats and the boy, the sun, the m, the sun, the m
It's ok calling, it's o
Two beats and the boy can, finally
I thought about you to like the ninth degree
I thought about you to like the ninth degree
Two beats and the beautiful and chequered, the end
Beautiful and chequered, e fade, e fade
Beautiful, close the door
Beautiful and chequered, fifty
Beautiful and chequered, e fade
She came in under
She kept things happen in a silent way
I'm better like this in a silent way, I'm for your love
I left it, I'm sure
You set the scene
I should, but you set the scene
I can dance, missed that loop but I can dance, ch ch
I can, you set the scene by chance
Is there something?
Take the time away from me
Take the time away from me
S e fade, e fade
Take the time, make our own rules
Don't walk away from the people you meet, e fade
Without any noise
Sorrow
Nothing happened, nothing happened
You and me in the sea
Nothing happened but
You eighty-three, eighty-three, but maybe I'm one night take it
Sorrow
Without any noise
Eighty-three

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
soooooooo awesome
