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.
Give me more
Yeah
I like this
We want to settel down
And juggle everything that moves
And alittle bit for your friends before they catch you
You better hide yourself away,now they sent out to come and capture you,
Get rid of that evidence and going to catch you
Help me(they'll find my) secrets(please don't go) can I (borrow some) sugar
[Chorus]
Help me you

No chance now

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”

@[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.
A poor effort on A36's part i beleive.... and i was so looking forward to their new songs....
what!?! this song is bomb. the best mix of jazz and metal you will ever find. my, my, they have grown from such unpromising roots...
a great song that would seem to be about robbery and blackmail on the surface.. but its just vague enough to be interpreted many ways
They remind me of a more angry panic at the disco.In a good way though.Love this song. :>
Um, so here are the actual lyrics, which make sense from a story stand point, fi you'd like to actually learn the song:
Give me more Like that We watch it settle down And capitalize on whatever moves Grab a little bit for your friends Before they catch you. You better hide yourself away Now they've set off to come capture you. Get rid of that evidence They're gonna catch you.
Help me decipher Secrets. please don't tell. Can I borrow some sugar? Give me more.
On my own They're gonna get you And all stretched out They're on their way now It feels like I've been here for hours And I am all stretched out.
Then when you show your hands See them glow eight shades of red Bit late to think of alibis Just answer the question. Here's where the truth comes out Veil lifted, your secrets out Quit crying innocence They've already got you.
Help me decipher Secrets. please don't tell. Stand up! make us proud! Carry on your back. Hold on, you're not done yet Finish what you started. Can I borrow some sugar? Give me more.
