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.
Love it man
25 lighters on my dresser yessir I gots to get paid
25 lighters on my dresser yessir I gots to get paid
I got 25 lighters for my 25 folks
Bout to break the mic then break 25 mo'
Bout to rip the track wit bout 25 flows
And I'm pimpin like a mac wit bout 25 hoes
25 fly carat diamonds in my ring
25 twelves in the trunk got to bang
Make moves to make a quick 25 mill
Come up so I can knock off big nine-nine Seville
Bout to take me bout 25 yellow bones home
Doin bad to make them 25 phone home
Call daddy sayin 25 got to go get 'em, get 'em
DMD done put it down 25 out the door
Hittin the highway doin 25 shows
25 Lil Mo's slammin 25 doors
Representin fo' those holdin 25 screws in they deck
I'ma wreck and rip 25 crews quick

[Lil' Keke]
I jumps up early and I yawns and stretch
Anotha day another dolla, 'nother case to get
I take my time and realize that this game is real
I got my mind on firearms, but I'm swanging barbe grill
Gots to act real bad when I close red doors
I'm shootin spidas off my rims 'cause I'm ridin on fours
And niggaz don't understand that we be drinkin the norm
Never trust broads they're frauds
On the 'vard is where I sling when I claim my name
Back in the game Hershallwood, Texas regained
It's the nine-eight and I'm jumpin in the mix
Rocks up on my wrists and got haters on my list
How ya like me now cause I'm real
Comin down piece and chain four shiny grills
Gots to bring havack where them boys at
Fixin to break the mic now is that Fat Pat?
25 lighters on my dressa yessir, I gots to get paid
We got 25 lighters on the dresser yessir gots to get paid
25 lighters on my dressa yessir, I gots to get paid
We got 25 lighters on the dresser yessir gots to get paid
[Fat Pat]
I'm so throwed in the game
Southside Playas, Skrewed Up click mayne
Wit the finest set you can bet them smoove ass event
Comin through this motherfucker man, hold up and set
Some niggaz catch me high like dat
And some niggaz act like they want to pull a gat
But they betta watch out for the boy PAT
That's them motherfuckin haters can they handle me
Cause I be so throwed in this game
Comin down on the swing
Grip wood grain on the shirt I leave a stain
Cause you try to jack a real true G
Comin down the boulevard
Can they see me swangin swangin swang till we live
Pop my trunk and give give give
Niggaz betta see a nigga roll
Starched down and I'm rollin on eighty fours
If the nigga FAT represent the click
Right up in the bowl and a whole lotta shit
Betta look around cause they don't understand it
I'ma say, "Hold up!" and scream, "God dammit!"
Cause I'ma let the cat gone grip and gone take a trip
And it's the empty clip just throw it off the ship
Cause it's a throwaway gat
It's that Fat Pat, where them haters at where them haterss at
Man love it man
25 lighters on my dressa yessir, I gots to get paid
We got 25 lighters on the dresser yessir gots to get paid
25 lighters on my dressa yessir, I gots to get paid

Fast Car

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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”

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.
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.
