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.
Yeah, yeah
We still in the mix (Statik Selektah)
We got that Wiz Khalifa
We got that McQueen
We got that Taylor Gang
It's all coming up next (Yeah, yup)
Stay lit
Get out the gold bottles, cars, got old models
Girls keep 'em in bunches, learn to roll with the punches
Buy anything that I want, but rather save up
Paper Chasers is what they labeled us
12 whips plus, but this one is my favorite
Pulled up, playing my latest shit
Your girl tired of curated playlists
Nothing else to say, but let's get paid
We ain't promised tomorrow, so we live today
Different stroke, same weed, rolled in a J
Another tour, plans laid to make a million dollars on the stage
Stick to the script, we on the same page
And if I ain't do it yet, then you can bet
More diamond chains, Porsches and Corvettes
Pullin' up to the set, get nothing respect
Niggas fuck with the gang and love the Jet's
Been around the world for the checks
This ain't checkers, it's chess
You better make your best move next
Every day, every day
Every day is a better day
And it's all love, it's all love (okay)
FaceTimes from the homies saying I'm doing a great job
When you thoroughbred, it ain't hard
Do more than just play the cards
My son future what I'm saving for
Me falling off, shit that's what they banking on
That ain't really rapper weed, you just think it's strong
She ain't really in your corner, you just think she yours
Several floors, you could smell the Kush through the door
Wraith generations, we don't need awards
Ain't doing red carpets no more, just send my shit straight to the crib if I win
Lately, I been going in, customizing rims
Hittin' off models that's slim, who ride and say they wanna come get high again
Sliding in a Benz
A hundred million dollars, I been trying since a kid
There ain't no KK on it, I ain't flying in it then
Gotta represent, new residents
Never hesitant, dead presidents
Every day, every day
Every day's a better day
And it's all love, it's all love (it's all love)
Every day, every day
Every day's a better day
And it's all love, it's all love (it's all love)
Like I said y'all, it's going down, W-E-E-D
Shout out to Wiz Khalifa, man
He's in town tonight and he's got a special guest with him
He's bringing the Khalifa Kush with him as well
And uh, speaking of Khalifa Kush
I heard Wiz has a Oreo commerical
Featuring his own son Sebastian
And we actually got Sebastian on the line right now
That's right, Wiz Khalifa's six year old son Sebastian is on the line right now
Sebastian, what do you wanna hear?
Some player shit!

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
