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.

It was a beautiful day, and everyone was excited
There was a picnic and the whole Nintendo crew was invited
Luigi stood up and said
[Luigi (Danny Sexbang):]
Listen, everyone, I love you guys
You are my best friends in the world, you make me glad to be alive!
[Announcer (Markiplier):]
Excuse me!
Hi there, I'm the announcer for a fun new family game
It's called Super Smash Brothers
[Luigi:]
That sounds nice, how do we play?
[Announcer:]
Well, first I'm gonna warp you into a world of hate and war
Where you'll assault everyone you have ever known and loved before!
[Luigi:]
I don't think I wanna do that
[Announcer:]
Oh come on, it'll be a bash
Now grab all your little friends, 'cause it is time for us to MOTHERFUCKING SMASH!
[Danny Sexbang:]
Whoa-oh
[Luigi:]
Wait, no
[Danny Sexbang:]
Let's go!
Kick the shit out of your friends!
[Luigi:]
That's not cool
[Danny Sexbang:]
Have a blast as you beat their ass
And then they're forced to clap for you in the end! (3 2 1 SMASH!)
Mario (Hey bro!) your chode
Has been destroyed, 200% (I need that chode!)
[Luigi:]
Can't we all just get along?
[Danny Sexbang:]
Abso-fucking-lutely not you gotta SMASH!
[Egoraptor:]
The crowd was destroyed, hundreds of bystanders dead
Kirby held Donkey Kong captive in his huge disgusting head

[Fox (Egoraptor):]
Hey Mario, stop crying, just psyche up and fight instead
[Luigi:]
I'm Luigi, all these bloodstains make my overalls look red!
[Announcer:]
Sonic looked tough till Link kicked him in the stuff
The madness of cold-blooded murder'd overtaken Jigglypuff!
He blasted Bowser to infinity with one massive-ass hit
And then he took three Falcon Punches like it wasn't even shit!
[Luigi:]
Is the time almost over? I can't tell, my face is mashed
[Announcer:]
Don't worry Luigi the clock says 4 3 2 (Oh no) 1 SMASH!
[Danny Sexbang:]
Whoa-oh
[Luigi:]
This blows.
[Danny Sexbang:]
You know
When Mario and Peach team up you are screwed (You're my own BROTHER!)
Pikachu's way less fuckin' cute when he is trying to electrocute you! (Pika PIII!)
Samus (What do you want?!) is pissed
You got a small amount of dirt on her suit (Oh you're dead, bitch.)
[Luigi:]
That is the last goddamn straw...
[Announcer:]
Oh shit, I think Luigi's gonna fucking SMASH!
[Luigi:]
Hey look at me now!
I'm beating my friends
I have no regrets, this is the fucking best!
Yes I can see now
We're having fun in the end!
Now it all makes sense
[Spoken:]
I guess just because we smash each other doesn't mean we're not brothers. [punch] Aah! Mario, you suck!
[Mario (Egoraptor):]
Bite me!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Silent Planet
Silent Planet
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
