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.
I'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.
would you like to hear my 20 questions?
it's just a taste of what's spinning around in my head
and would you like to offer some suggestions?
cause you if you think too much up here you wind up dead.
Still I sit and I ponder this emotion.
too scared to jump, too anxious to sit still
and i am my own enemy
so i look into the mirror
at the giant i must kill
i will
i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost, i will find you
you're not so far
my shooting star
i ain't got much money in my pocket
but i can't complain,
because my plate is full
but i keep my dreams all hidden in my closet
with some of the gifts i got from you
but i don't have a clue as how i got here
and even less of a clue about where i should go
and this mystery might be killing me
but if i had a choice to,
i wonder if i'd want to know.
i don't think so
i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far
my shooting star
now i find myself back where i started
i'm too scared to jump,
too anxious to sit still
i'm not ready to let go
but i will need a patient hand
to catch me when i am
and i'll be two steps behind you
cause i know right where you are
and when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.
i'll be two steps behind you, yeah
cause i know right where you are
you're right beside me now
and when i'll lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.
you're not so far.
you're not so..
cause i know right where you are
when i'm lost i will find you
you're not so far,
my shooting star.

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag

“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 an incredible song. I can't fathom why it isn't more well-known.
