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.
Yo, yo, they asked me where the fuck I been for all this time
I been fuckin' poor out of my fuckin' ass
Eatin' fuckin' shit, fuckin' ugly bitches
'Cause everybody knows that pretty bitches ain't down to fuck nobody poor and shit
But that shit don't even matter
It's all about you faggot-ass motherfuckin' rappers
Thinkin' y'all dope, drivin' Lexuses and shit like that
"Every Record Label Sucks Dick"
But yo, yo, but but but you be suckin' on your record label's dick
Word up! This is just a little somethin'
For motherfuckers to let them know I didn't fall off the earth
You know what I'm sayin'?
At 5, 4, 3, 2 in the morning, losing my fuckin' mind about to murder people
(Fuck them motherfuckers)
Yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo yo yo yo yo, like this
They snakes in this rap field, fuck the fat deal
Cap peeled, how does chokin' on the smoke from the gat feel?
The Rugged Man, record label suicide, move aside
(RA calm down) Who the fuck you think you are?
I smack that bitch who works the front desk
That strictly be there for high school credit
But sucks dicks of all the rap stars
Put me behind bars, cause Mister A&R Man's
Bout to get fucked in his asshole and brother I'm not even gay
Shay, shay, shay! The president of the company
Don't care if I'm dead or if I'm bleeding
I'm not succeeding, they turned my mindstate into evil
'Cause I want everyone dead on this fuckin' earth
It really hurts, cause if music doesn't work
I got nothing left to live for except dyin' in the poorhouse
And bitches hate my fuckin' guts
Those sluts loved me more than Patrick Swayze
When I had my steady income
I need a spot that I can sin from
Suicide, never, but I got plots of taking out the other people
And I ain't doin' jail time, that shit is wack
Ain't no comin' back, once I lose control my shit is finished
So don't get in this, you record label people gonna die
And your family gonna die too, motherfuckers!
Hahahaha, yo, yo
Yo, that's just a verse, one verse
You can't buy this shit, this shit is not for sale
That's for the real rap fans
But see, real nowadays is just a fuckin' gimmick anyway
I'm keepin it real, I'm stayin' real, all this bullshit
Yo, yo, how the fuck is you supposed to be real
If you can't rap for real or can't flow for real?
You got your hip-hop styles on and you readin' them fuckin' rap magazines
I been fuckin' poor out of my fuckin' ass
Eatin' fuckin' shit, fuckin' ugly bitches
'Cause everybody knows that pretty bitches ain't down to fuck nobody poor and shit
But that shit don't even matter
It's all about you faggot-ass motherfuckin' rappers
Thinkin' y'all dope, drivin' Lexuses and shit like that
"Every Record Label Sucks Dick"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
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.
