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.

Waking up aggravated
Stupid shit man I hate it
Bitches lyin' bitches cryin'
Suicidal get in line
Gettin' mine bouncin' freaks
Loosing sleep countin' sheep
Absolute cash and loot
Men in black packin' heat
Born and blazin' rotten raisin'
Fingers up time to waive 'em
Show these players playin' that
They better get there ass to prayin'
There won't be nuttin' but dice
After the cut in the gut
I am not like 'em there gonna wish
They never pushed my button
The door is shuttin' and a knife
Will do you no good
You gettin' nuttin' while
I rock here in Hollywood
I'll tell you somethin' else
You can take it to the bank
I don't give a fuck what
None of y'all people think
Holdin' the gold it's so gold it's so golden y'all
Golden cobra
Holdin' the gold it's so gold it's so golden y'all
Golden cobra

Uh, that's right
Yeah, that's right (shut the fuck up)
Feelin' Korn going blind
Free as hell doin' time
I'm insane can't complain
Flush you turds down the drain
Down the hatch throwin' craps
Throwin' matches on the gas
Check the match check the will
Check the ride payin bills
Burnin' mouths wanna smile
If you're feelin' versatile
Versus while flippin' bitches
Grindin' trucks skatin' ditches
Hatin' all the Harley hatin'
Knife is slicin' shit like bacon
Sick and tired you is fired
I'm the truth and you's the liar
The door is shuttin' and a knife
Will do you no good
You gettin' nuttin' while
I rock here in Hollywood
I'll tell you somethin' else

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Limp Bizkit is back baby! B)
Are they dissing Korn?
"Feelin Korn, goin blind, free as hell, doin time I'm insane, can't complain, flush you turds down the drain Down the hatch, throwin craps, throwin matches on the gas...."
Or is this nothing against them? I would like to know, because they had beef with Korn in the past and I would like to know if this could be a payback?
To me it sounds like music is sh*t, there is a lot of space for a band like korn to release a kickass album like in the old days yet there is none and by saying this he is throwin matches on the gas as the internet fights start.<br /> <br /> Feelin Korn, goin blind, free as hell, doin time<br /> <br /> Could also mean "LB was like korn, goind blind as in losing touch with its roots, no competition to release a new numetal album that kickass like in the 90's yet both of the bands are not doing it (doing time=not doing anything).<br /> <br />
To me, that just looks like a lyrical reference to KoRn and nothing more. Korn have a song called Blind (obv...) Feeling Korn could just be another way of referring to blind.<br /> <br /> The lyrical genius of Fred Durst...
from what i understand this was gonna b the venomous(lbgc) song but fred changed the lyrics and made it gold cobra.. not a bad change but i was looking forward to hearing the song about our gaming clan.. haha.. i heard this yesterday from my dude thats goin on his second tour with limp.. tight ass song fo sho!
