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.
(Think we we found a loophole)
Yeah
Funeral (yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I don't sleep (I don't sleep)
Fuck a bed, fuck a spread, fuck a sheet (I don't sleep)
Fuck a Xanny, give me Adderall and weed (I don't sleep)
Speedballin' off the cocaine and codeine (I don't sleep)
Chinchilla carpet got her walkin' on her knees (on her knees)
I don't sleep and I'm still livin' out my dreams (I don't sleep)
Kill you in your sleep and now you can't get out your dreams (fuck your dreams)
Notorious B.I.G. said it was all a dream (all a dream)
I'm reppin' M-O-B, the mob, I got ties (woo, woo)
In the back of my head, under my locks, I got eyes (woo)
Presidents so dead up in my pockets, I got flies (yeah)
Been chasin' these presidents so long they must be tired (yeah)
They better not close their eyes, 'cause Tunechi never blink (never blink)
And if you sleepin' on Lil Tunechi, rest in peace (rest in peace)
'Cause all a nigga do is win like I cheat (like I cheat)
And I ain't sleepin' 'til they bring me to the priest (to the priest)
Fuck a bed, fuck a spread, fuck a sheet
Uh, I just popped a tent, I'm in my man cave
Lookin' for some hoes in my DMs, man, I miss Backpage
Your lil' hoe do spin class at the gym, that bitch in bad shape
My lil' hoe said she got' spend a band, now like it ratchet
Did some cocaine with these bitches, like it fancy
Snort the cocaine off their titties in my mansion
I'm gettin' naked with these bitches, I'm on Addy and Cialis
Breakin' records in these bitches
Wait, I think, this hoe need Jesus, I need water
She say, "These them double D's that float in water"
I'm too numb, I bit my jaw and I can't feel it
I'm so numb I hit it raw and I can't feel it
I'm on the ceiling, I don't sleep (I don't sleep)
Fuck a bed, fuck a spread, fuck a sheet (I don't sleep)
Fuck a Xanny, give me Adderall and weed (I don't sleep)
Speedballin' off the cocaine and codeine (I don't sleep)

Threw a million in a week and I ain't freak
I ain't fret, I ain't sweat, I ain't keep
She said, Tunechi, "What you think about me," lemme think (whoa)
She said, "Why you never answer?" Told her, "I was sleep"
Takeoff
Told her I was sleep
Really I was with my other bitch from Italy
Text message from my Memphis bitch, she get 'em ten a key
The sticks you thirty minutes and it don't need anti-freeze
I believe, niggas tryna get the goals that I achieve (goals)
Me without the paper just like Tune without the lean
Or Phil without the rings (Or what?), Snoop without the weed (or what?)
AI without the sleeve (or what?), IG without the memes (nah)
I'm up, Adderral, these niggas they drinkin' on Tylenol (nah)
I give her the X, she give me the neck, and no, we don't talk at all (at all)
Jaws, I'm breakin' 'em in, she gettin' the balls and all (ball)
I cannot sleep and I cannot eat, if it ain't codeine involved
I don't sleep (I don't sleep)
Fuck a bed, fuck a spread, fuck a sheet (I don't sleep)
Fuck a Xanny, give me Adderall and weed (I don't sleep)
Speedballin' off the yayo and codeine (I don't sleep)
Me and Takeoff 'bout to take off, 'bout to flee (yeah)
I don't sleep and I'm still livin' out my dreams (I don't sleep)
Kill you in your sleep and now you can't get out your dreams (fuck your dreams)
Notorious B.I.G. said it was all a dream (all a dream)

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
