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.
This ain't go be easy, uh
You got it, you got it
Put it in
Tables turned into a situation
Now you standing in my face and you been patiently waiting
Fumbling over words, forget the conversation
Thinking maybe we could make the combination
Want to see me lose my breathe, want to hear me moan
Better be ready, will and able when we get along
You was talking tough up on in the telephone
So you better put it in when we get it on
No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love Do not go nowhere less I say
Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that would not be
Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (go hard)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it
Don't come around, keep on letting me down
You got to get it all the way in, I want to see you work
Now you looking like you looking for an explanation
Is the curve on my body for you motivation?
Skip the petty needs, no time for complication
Use both hands to make sure I reach my destination
Better leave a good impression fore you hit the door
'Cause you Do not want me talking about your business on the low
You show it off, I had to fit you in my schedule
So you better put it on me when It is time to go
No turning back from this party
Put you through enough to come play (hey)
And is not no coming down from this high
My love don't go nowhere less I say
Look at what you got yourself into
Best take advantage, be all that you can be
Best take advantage, see all that you can see
'Cause this could be a less opportunity that won't be
Put it in
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)
Do it baby, do-do it baby, get it (put it in)
Check it baby, get it baby, check it baby, get it (work)

I is not excepting no excuses, baby (no)
Do not brag about it if you useless baby (no)
You better blow me away, make a girl want to stay
At your spot for another round
It's your chance to prove, don't forget your moves
There is nothing to lose, but me
Put it in

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Amazing

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
When I read the singer said it was "actually very innocent" and "no way about sex" - it IS so obvious. My interpretation is these lyrics are pouring out from mouth of a sl*t who says "don't go around" talking to much, you want sex then come and have it, I'm too easy. And if you read the lyrics and get them literally it all about that thing, almost each line is talking for itself.
I hate myself for liking this song so much, I've probably played it for thousands of times - a song about sex..
