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.
Uhn. Hella money, tryna buy some fun shit
All of my girls came, still ain't even done shit
lookin' so amazing just to get attention
So we can find a nigga who is someone worth a mention
I said there's plenty fishes in the sea
But everything I've caught so far was not the one for me, no
Not like I need it, I'm loving living free
But when I saw you synthesized my heart 'bout skipped a beat
You got the swag
Baby can I meet you at the car
Left it with the nice valet out back
We can drive away and go so far
So far
If this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down now, you know I'll be comin'
If this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down, I'm down now
I like it when you come in and take up all
The space in my mind
My mind
I'm bouta let gonna let, I think I'll let you love
Me tonight
night, night I think I'll let you love me
I can't believe it
I can't believe I'm willing
To neglect what I know and disregard
All but feeling
And let myself unravel,
Twisting up into the ceiling
Surrender to the reeling and the
Healing like I'm kneeling
And so I'm certain it's the only way to go
It’s time for me to set free all my secrets let 'em show
And let me take you home and show 'em to you nice and slow
Baby I just want you to know
That I just broke up with my man
I'll admit that I had you in mind
Maybe I was thinking if you can
We can kick it later on tonight
if this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down boy, you know I'll be comin'
If this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down, I'm down now
I like it when you come in and
take up all the space in my mind
My mind.
I'm boutta let, gonna let,
I think I'll let you love me tonight
night, night, I think I'll let you love me
I'll let you lick me down, down, a-down down down
I'll let you lick me down, down, a-down down down
I'll let you lick me down, down, a-down down down
I'll let you lick me down, down, a-down down down(x2)
All of my girls came, still ain't even done shit
lookin' so amazing just to get attention
So we can find a nigga who is someone worth a mention
I said there's plenty fishes in the sea
But everything I've caught so far was not the one for me, no
Not like I need it, I'm loving living free
But when I saw you synthesized my heart 'bout skipped a beat
You got the swag
Baby can I meet you at the car
Left it with the nice valet out back
We can drive away and go so far
So far
If this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down now, you know I'll be comin'
If this is somethin' you're tryna fuck with
Tell me if you're down, I'm down now
I like it when you come in and take up all

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is a bit hard to interpret but here's my idea of it. Tinashe loves hanging out with friends and Isn't bothered much about guys hence the line: "I said there's plenty more fish In the sea, but everyone I've caught so far was not the one I need no, not like I need it I'm loving free, and out of all the guys she's been with none of them have been the one for her, apart from this one guy she's singing about which has caught her attention.
She then goes on to sing about she'll allow him to take her away and make love to her if he's up for it.
