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.
Enter in my castle and you'll bow down
You'll hear the sounds
Feel my fortress crumble as the walls
Come crashing down
Let my words possess you and your mind
Your mind, your mind
If there is a God you'll look and you'll find
You will find
(Praise KOD)
LAJFA! Last words spoken by my mom
Heaven opened on June 6th mama's on the first day smoking
So many emotions
Sipping on my potion, choking, black slime's taken over my body
So much it will contaminate the ocean (I'm not joking)
Get 'em up, wanna bust, with enough of anguish
I'ma clutch and he trust when he touch, my name is so famous
I'm adjusting a bunch of stuff, my brain it grows heinous
And I'm loving that rough and tough and tainted, so dangerous
People piling in to peep it
So many step inside to see the secrets
Really I'm a rabble-rousing reverend
Writing in reefer, risen and rippin' a wretched rhyme, release it
Blood in my mucus, turn it into mud I should've gotten the lupus
That bug is intrusive, what the government uses
To turn love into nooses, and shoving a big drug in your juices
Wondering if I'ma bust and light this llama up
If I'm the number synonymous with anonymous
The drama just equal Osama nuts
You crazy, that's why they honor us, listen to it
I am not professin' to be the highest in heaven
So I say with no discretion, this is a K-O-D session
So if any wanna question, you pro'lly should get to steppin'
Cause you 'bout to hear the lesson of twenty minus eleven
Enter in my castle and you'll bow down
You'll hear the sounds
Feel my fortress crumble as the walls
Come crashing down
Let my words possess you and your mind
Your mind, your mind
If there is a God, look up and you'll find
You will find

(My word is spreading all over the world)
Parents get this for your children
Help me carry on this love that I'm buildin'
So many years I have been drillin' through ceilings
With a pack of villains, minimal killing, lord willin'
Inshallah, really just sent Allah
What a Christian just saw, evil winning
Don't know what it meant to y'all when death went to Maude
But it really bent the KOD, please no grinning
What can I do, to make you believe
All this beautiful music I conceive
I'm taking out the pain and times the Nina grieves
And putting it to music, now you heard to leave
For your spirits I covet, that doesn't say "Devil worshipper", does it?
Good and evil, I got ooze and oodles of it
And I got so many more followers comin' and I love it
I wonder why everybody's insane when they come to Strange
They had my mother locked up in chains like she was deranged
I'm takin' aim on every lame, they're gonna see the change
Watchin' my brain darken the game
Enter in my castle and you'll bow down
You'll hear the sounds
Feel my fortress crumble as the walls
Come crashing down
Let my words possess you and your mind
Your mind, your mind
If there is a God, look up and you'll find

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"

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.
