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 told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
Stop!
Heyyyyyy
Fuck it
Mayday!
Crazy mother fucker coming at you like an A-K
any which way, but loose- for the throwdown
Mike Capone in 'yo town' shit's about to go down
those clowns- fucking weed hounds, with the brown bud
never get no love, dubs for the slugs
flood the streets and the sewer, baby we just gonna move ya
turn you back into another way of life
living some new shit
ah
push it
push it
good
now you done made me roll up in your neighborhood
with a car load-a- crazy ass- delinquent
no-good, drunk & crunk 'bats in the trunk' kids
baby you've got to be crazy
what's been happening lately?
I haven't seen, or even heard from you in so fucking long
guess we finished what you started
time for mom and dad to mourn mutha fucka
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
Stop!
Hey!
Fuck it
I say...put away the guns, and see who walks away
from the most electrifying ass-whippin'
dippin' through Kentucky, now you should've been lookin'
and I tried to tell you
tried to warn you
soon somebody is bound to mourn you
horns blew
then the trumpets, jumped and stuck on
the melody alone, it should-a told you
move the fuck on
you insisted on hating all along
my patience ran out long before this song
came upon me in a daze
in a faded, clouded maze of chronic
I'll hit you quicker than Gin & fuckin' Tonic, if you want it
my 3 track demo alone's a fuckin' b0mb threat
I'll fuck around and have your record company neglect
everything you started doing
as I ruin with my tunes of fucking doom,
and no illusions, soon the world will beat the boom from the...
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
I'm thinking these fucked up thoughts again
I wish there was a way to make this end
believe in the reasons of me in this grieving
misery-scene of a murder in the first degree
could it be that I'm free to receive you?
in these times of trouble
I freeze, and release you
you're through.
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
I told you this would fucking happen
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive
aside from my guitar, piano, sex, and writing rhymes
I've still got you running through my mind
don't be so suprised
just count your fucking stars, you're still alive

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.
Magical

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.
