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.
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
When we were together you tried to break my heart
Said you always did your best at keeping us apart
Said now you're dead and gone and I've got a new thing going
I can't wait to see your face when you and your friends show up
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
Something makes you think that you're some kinda winner
Said you want to get married and cook somebody dinner?
Said you're making fun of me 'cause I'm young and got no money
I've got no time for school books 'cause I got no time to study
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
Hey
You're the type of girl that any guy would die for
That's the way it looks and I'm really glad you think so
So concerned with friends and your popularity
That you never even took the time to see the real me
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
i think this is the first suicide machines song I heard. I'm not sure, but I really love it!
