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.
My monument is progressing Bereft is thy deed of completion
By all means you'll be alive, but not intact
I've sewn your lips to smile with your own defecation on your lips
I'll knock that shit eating grin right off your face
Abnormally disfigured designs
You observe the genesis of my abattoir
Reality accepted. You have no choice but to comply with my scalpel and my license to kill
My license to kill!
Anal seepage flowing
I can't repress the urge
My coprophagous shall ingurgitate the filth
Grinding at your head with my bone saw breaking zygoma
I love these tools at my disposal I'm alive!
She cried out helplessly again
I ripped her limb from fucking limb
Just one less slut to walk this fucking earth
I will spit right in your fucking face
How does it taste?
After the lips are sealed below your waste
You will never fuck again!
My scalpel gleams, my attention cast aside
Hardening arteries begging for an inimical thrust
Byproducts of digestion soak the floor
I'm searching for a hypodermic syringe to draw the waste
Flowing at your jugular the heart is pumping faster as I lay and wait to watch you erupt from every orifice
The necrotizing fasciitis has commenced it's work
No anesthesia applied this will be everlasting
In the name of anatomy I shall dismember and attain what is rightfully mine
By all means you'll be alive, but not intact
I've sewn your lips to smile with your own defecation on your lips
I'll knock that shit eating grin right off your face
Abnormally disfigured designs
You observe the genesis of my abattoir
Reality accepted. You have no choice but to comply with my scalpel and my license to kill
My license to kill!
Anal seepage flowing
I can't repress the urge
My coprophagous shall ingurgitate the filth
Grinding at your head with my bone saw breaking zygoma
I love these tools at my disposal I'm alive!
She cried out helplessly again
I ripped her limb from fucking limb
Just one less slut to walk this fucking earth
I will spit right in your fucking face
How does it taste?
After the lips are sealed below your waste
You will never fuck again!
My scalpel gleams, my attention cast aside
Hardening arteries begging for an inimical thrust
Byproducts of digestion soak the floor
I'm searching for a hypodermic syringe to draw the waste
Flowing at your jugular the heart is pumping faster as I lay and wait to watch you erupt from every orifice
The necrotizing fasciitis has commenced it's work
No anesthesia applied this will be everlasting
In the name of anatomy I shall dismember and attain what is rightfully mine

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Haha so true. I miss the days of watching them at the Electric Ballroom. The music was so full of passion then.
