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.
[Little kid talking]

They gotta hit em' in the spot, so drop it like it's hot
Movin' the thong, showin' pussy, let me see it shake

Titties lookin' good but I'm really peakin' that ass though
Feelin' on the thighs cause I'm chillin' full of that Hennessey
After a long night of this hit, she gon' remember me
Man what's this ho name again, oh it's Tiffany
Two minutes before Weebie came on, she be kissin' me
Baby mom came by the bar tryin' to be messy
Hangin' with these stupid ass hoes lookin' all nasty
Workin' all play it off like I don't see this ho
Try to shake me up if ya want but I'ma beat a ho
You a sad bitch in the club tryin to act bad
Throwin out they child support, aught to be glad bitch
[Hook]

Waitin' on her tryin to catch actin' bad nigga
Hittin' them stairs, bout to work it for that cash nigga
You's a sad nigga
You supposed to try to make her break that bread
When she come home, she done break a nigga, take the bread
I hate to say it but she leavin' here with us tonight
Nut suckin' butt fuckin' in the truck tonight
I'ma fuck her right, tuck her right in the corner in back of the club
In the V.I. sippin' on yac in the club
About three I'ma get my shit packed in the club
And go knee high in that bitch after the club
[Hook]

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”
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.
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.
