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.
Hey now ladies guess who's back
LDB Romeo and Bat
For the 99 it's phat stack
Yo Ra Ra about to rip the track
You took my heart and ran with it
Why you so damn scandalous?
I found a chick who could handle this
Bye bye love cause I'm through with this
Oh my God what'd I do?
I'm caught up in your game with you
My best friend's girl what a shame
Why did you play these silly games?
Try to put the blame on me
I always knew you were a freak
I seen you looking right away
Girl you've got a bomb body
1 - I should've seen it coming when you stepped to me
You're like my sis never thought it would be
But there was something that you did when you looked at me
That made me want to get a little bit freaky
Then I started thinking about my boy, he said
What would he do if he knew?
His homie was creeping with you
2 - Keep it on the low
We never should've did it
Yo girl, my best friend
He can never know
Get up and get your stuff girl, you must go
Keep it on the low
We never should've did it yo girl, my best friend
He can never know, oh, oh, oh
Oh no can't talk to you
Take it to the source what I can not do
Gotta stop, cause every night
All of this stuff ain't worth the fight
My homie comes first that's how it goes
Can't keep dealing with you silly hoes
Buying your stuff and playing the role
Baby I don't need you, no, no
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
Isn't that your curiosity
Doesn't mean a thing to me
As I reach for the sky
There's no need for me to lie
Cause my love for him is strong
I must hold on
Immature come on dance with me
Romeo, Batman, LDB
Everybody come on dance with me
Yeah, come on, come on, dance with me
Can't forget Chris be -Z
Everybody in the house dance with me
Everybody in the house dance with me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Repeat 2 till end

Holiday

@[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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
