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.
I've been waiting for the stars to come out
Dinner it was fine,
But I can't lie 'cause I've been waiting for ya
To come back to mine,
I've been, thinking of you 24/7, and 365
Now the girl for me Impanema
She's here right by my side
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
(Chorus)
I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
I want to go inside every corner
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go
Knock knock
Our bodies to the beat
And when the morning comes
We're letting the sun shine
We'll stay in bed
You can't separate us
We fit together
I can feel you comin' closer
Dancin' in the dark (dancin' in the dark)
I touch your lips and kiss your shoulders
Send a letter to your heart
I can't explain to which extreme I'm feelin' you (feelin' you)
How many triple x dreams that's been starring you
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
(Chorus)
I won't get nothing done of what I ought'a do,
It doesn't really matter to me
I-I-I-I am here with you
I can't explain to what degree I'm feelin' you
How many triple x dreams I've had starring you
But I got you now and I just want to show you how to play (show you how to play)
Goosebumps on your body
Guide the way
I want to go all night,
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn (breakin' of the dawn),
I want to go inside every corner (every corner baby),
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go knock knock
Our bodies to the beat (knock knock to the beat)
And when the morning comes
We're letting the sun shine
Stay in bed,
You can't separate us
We fit together
I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
(There ain't no stopping 'til the breakin' of the dawn)
I want to go inside every corner (every corner every corner baby)
Girl you really turn me on
I want to go knock knock
Our bodies to the beat
And when the morning comes (when the morning comes)
We're letting the sun shine
Stay in bed
You can't separate us
We fit together
All night
I want to go all night
Can I go inside
How about inside
I want to go all night
Can I go all night
What about inside
Can I go inside
Dinner it was fine,
But I can't lie 'cause I've been waiting for ya
To come back to mine,
I've been, thinking of you 24/7, and 365
Now the girl for me Impanema
She's here right by my side
I got you now and I just want to
Show you how to play
Goosebumps on your body

I want to go all night
Ain't no stoppin' 'til the breakin' of the dawn
I want to go inside every corner

We'll stay in bed

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”

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
They aren't a teenybopper group, that's what they're trying to steer away from! If that isn't obvious, I dunno what is! They obviously don't want to be in the same category as NSuck and BSB, even though they already are. UGH I hate when people try to classify these guys! They try soo hard to be original!
