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.
I can taste your lemonade
Bittersweet like every summer fling
And keeping up with all your stories
Talking to your ghost when I'm asleep
No you're never really dead to me
Maybe that's the mystery of us
I use to think when you were gone
I would still hear voices in the halls
I can feel the red rain on me
I can see you shaking when I kiss
You still hit me like a buzz
Seventeen and drunk enough to wish
And you really got your hooks on me
Maybe that's the punishment for love
I still stay up late at night
Trying to hear your voices in the halls
In the halls
In the halls
In the halls
You can hear me late at night
Singing to the voices in the halls
Every time we drive the coast
Heaven, all Las Vegas in your car
Playing on your broken speakers
Me asleep and warm inside your arms
No it's never like what it used to be
Maybe it's just never really was
But every night when I get home
I can hear your voices in the halls
Every night when I'm alone
I can hear your voices in the halls
Bittersweet like every summer fling
And keeping up with all your stories
Talking to your ghost when I'm asleep
No you're never really dead to me
Maybe that's the mystery of us
I use to think when you were gone
I would still hear voices in the halls
I can feel the red rain on me
I can see you shaking when I kiss
You still hit me like a buzz
Seventeen and drunk enough to wish
And you really got your hooks on me
Maybe that's the punishment for love
I still stay up late at night
Trying to hear your voices in the halls
In the halls
In the halls
In the halls
You can hear me late at night
Singing to the voices in the halls
Every time we drive the coast
Heaven, all Las Vegas in your car
Playing on your broken speakers
Me asleep and warm inside your arms
No it's never like what it used to be
Maybe it's just never really was
But every night when I get home
I can hear your voices in the halls
Every night when I'm alone
I can hear your voices in the halls

Plastic Bag

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.
