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.
Shawty say she wanna love me, she won't leave me alone
She say she wanna tangle no iphone
She wanna get me face time, no iphone
She gotta black berry BBM I'm on
Spinnin bottles of patron what i do for fun.
Take her back to the crib have a two on one
And after she get bent, bend her over like a shot gun,
Tank on E so you know i'm about to pop one.
Looking 3D, ass so fly see it from the front had to walk around the back
Told whatever she want, she know got that
She know i'm a big boy so i gave her 3 stacks
Told her there's a lot more Grey Goose where that came from.
You drinking em bottles up, i tell her to back it up,
Then she pull out a blunt where that came from
Now shawty gonna light it up, wanna come fly with us
[chorus:]
Shawty i wanna drink, i justa wanna cut
If you see a freak tell her I just in the cut.
Bottles upside down,
And I'm feeling turned up, Body looking 3D
Would she back it up, back it up like this,
Up like that, up like this, up like that
Fuck it up like this, up like that,
Shawty looking 3D would she back it up.
Shawty says she love the way we talk in the south
You can do it too, put it in your mouth,
On the V.I.P. couch, snow in the face, (throwing green?) we suck no waste,
She says she love how it taste point blank range, shoot it in her face
She think i'm running game but game already ran in a marathon
Heard the pussy bomb hiroshima. Aquafina wet, betta splash ass like the Avatar
Big tall blue bitch, 3D camera. And imma Thor on the blue whore.
Pull out the MC Hammer bitch and beat it on the floor.
[chorus:]
All these extra spare bottles in the club you can tell me i'm (takin, takin?)
Me and david banner in the club got the speakers on sub bitches shaking, shaking,
And Game I'm like damn about this brotha on these hoes Pittsburgh pussy taking, taking
Then I might hit it from the back like a Mac now she sayin that it's achin, achin
I'ma back it up she need a (sad car now?)
(I'mma act it up if it make it hurricane bill?)
I'mma stack it up like an 18 wheeler now.
She can back it up
Call the waiter cause

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"

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”
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.

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.
