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.
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Spotlight lights just my life and time
Okay, I got me a sweet bitch
So I'm headed to N.Y. just to be up in it
Off of Riverton, we fuckin' us a sweet chick
She go vegan on the weekends
Hell naw, you shouldn't be eatin' dick
I got me a freak bitch and she nasty, she wild, she a free spirit
After me, she gon' let the whole team hit it
God damn, why can't you be more discreet wit' it?
I'm at peace wit' it
Come on, peace, kid
Yeah, it ain't much, look
Okay, got me a cheap broad
Should be tippin' but she'll be puttin' them dollar bills in her bra
She be cussin' out the managers at restaurants
Every time we go to dinner, shit is free of charge
I got me a centerfold, kinda sorta
But she poppin' on the Insta though
She gon' have a million followers by the winter time
After that she'll be somebody that I used to know
I had to let her go, you know?
Had a Xan hoe
She be mumblin', it hard to understand though
She in love with all the trappers from Atlanta
Introduced her to T.I. and that was last time I had her
Got a skater bitch
She a gamer gotta take her to arcades and shit
She'll be watchin' Anime while I'm layin' dick
Wanna go to Comic Con? I'm like, "Come down a bit"
On my gangsta shit, uh
Speakin' of which, got a gangsta boo
Man, her mama and her grandmomma gangsta too
With the drama keep the llama in the daisy dukes
Shit if I try to take her she gon' shoot up the room? (Fuck outta here, nigga, run ya shit)
Oh, got a lazy bitch
Oh, I'ma do it tomorrow, tomorrow came and went
Ain't no fuckin' at the crib, it's probably dirty as shit
How you runnin' outta breath when you ridin' the dick?
Hoe, oh nah, nah, nah, you gotta get the fuck up off me right now
Oh, baby, I been thinkin' 'bout what I gotta do all day
And I'm fuckin' tired, Wilma tired
Damn!
Okay, I got it
Got a cougar bitch
We be fuckin' in the back of Subaru's and shit
I would love to spend the night, there's always food in the fridge
She be knowin' what she likin' and what to do wit' it
Uh, throwin' me around, wasn't used to it
Tried tell my bigger homie how abusive she is
Nigga, no one would believe me, they like, "You just a bitch"
Had to buy surveillance cameras to get proof of it
Damn
I'm suin' you, bitch!
But I got a fat ass one from Chicago
She said she lowkey but everybody know
Bitch is from heaven, mattress on the floor
Invite her to the crib, show her how I live
But she bossin' roaches, no
Next stop Ohio
Her mom's shoppin' these parts from Mexico
She demand the D before and after show
These are the ups and downs when we're in the
Spotlight that's just my life and time
Yeah, baby, baby, yeah
Yeah, baby
Oh, darlin', oh
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Okay
Shit, yes, Lord
Okay
Spotlight that's just my life and time
I got it, uh
Got a yogi bitch and she natural, she hate to wear deodorant
And she bashful if she come up out those clothes she in
You got a what, my nigga? You got, you got a what?
Oh, your bitch is flexible?
No, no-no-no-no
You like yogi bitches now? Fuck that!
How'd you get in here? Chill
Let's see if your bitch could dodge these bullets, nigga
My nigga, you know what?
Get the fuck, wait, you fuckin' wit' a bitch
Don't talk
That don't shave her under arms?
You know what? You gon' run that under arm hair bitch
Bitches in the hood need that for edges
Put the gun down, yo!
What else you got in your bag, bitch? Come up off that
Shut the fuck up, nigga
You know what, come up off your cha, you know what? I fuckin' loved you, nigga
Your bitch is makin' me, you know what, bitch?
She 'bout to die first, fuck that
Oh, yeah
Spotlight lights just my life and time
Okay, I got me a sweet bitch

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"

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
