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.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to the sounds of Swiss Beatz
We got Cassidy in here, Kels! We in our throwbacks.
This is for the ladies, we got room keys.
Girl you want to come to my hotel, baby I will leave you my room key.
I'm feelin' the way you carry yourself girl
And I want to get with you 'cause you's a cutie
So if you want to come to my hotel, all you gotta do is holler at me
'Cause we're having an after party
Checkin' out 6 in the mornin' (six in the mornin')
I be staying in the hotel, not the motel or the Holiday Inn
If that girl don't participate, well then I'ma take her friend
But if, mami is with it then, mami can give if,
Mami a rider, I'ma, slide up beside her mama
I got a suite, you can creep on through
I know you tryin' to get your freak on too,
I do it all for the (ladies) yeah I ball for the (ladies)
Hit the mall for the (ladies) keep it fly for the (ladies)
Keep my eye on the (ladies) hot tub for the (ladies)
Pop bub' for the (ladies) I got love for my (ladies)

'Cause we're having an after party
Checkin' out 6 in the mornin' (six in the mornin')
We the new Cartel, R.Kel and the kid Cassidy (say what?)
Girl if your man start actin' up, ask for him or ask for me (say what?)
'Cause see, we could go get it crackin, but you know what'll happen,
We be under the covers, makin' love to each other
I got a double bed, one's to sleep on
The other one's to get my freak on, it's all for the (ladies)
Yeah I ball for the (ladies) Hit the mall for the (ladies)
Keep it fly for the (ladies) Keep my eye on the (ladies)
Hot tub for the (ladies) pop bub' for the (ladies)

Then we gon' sex it out, 'til we all checking out
I got my chicks I'ma bring to the telly
We 'bout to do the damn thing, sing to 'em Kelly.
It's alright(it's alright) If you want to come with me
And fulfill your fantasy, baby in my hotel suite
And it's OK, if you want to party night 'til day,
I will do anything you say, just come to my hotel.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
