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.
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
I'm killing,every fucking thing
Until somebody gets the fucking point, the
Point I'm trying to make
I lead, the mice on parade,
Down to the river of cool aid,and open up the
Flood gates
I need a barrel of cyanide a pile of strychnine
Until the whole damn world is dead start over
Again
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming,we're killing,we're changing
The faces
Stop talking,negotiating,
Your feeble attempts towards world peace,
Give me a fucking break
Need world-wide genocide,planetary suicide
And when the whole damn world is
Dead, there's your fucking peace
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence,
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
Oxygen wasters, come on
We've come, to save you,to save you from
Yourselves
Kill or be killed,
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strengthen within yourself
All over with
We're coming,we're killing, we're changing
The faces
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
I'm killing,every fucking thing
Until somebody gets the fucking point, the
Point I'm trying to make
I lead, the mice on parade,
Down to the river of cool aid,and open up the
Flood gates
I need a barrel of cyanide a pile of strychnine
Until the whole damn world is dead start over
Again
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming,we're killing,we're changing
The faces
Stop talking,negotiating,
Your feeble attempts towards world peace,
Give me a fucking break
Need world-wide genocide,planetary suicide
And when the whole damn world is
Dead, there's your fucking peace
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence,
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
Oxygen wasters, come on
We've come, to save you,to save you from
Yourselves
Kill or be killed,
All over with,
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world
Leaders
Run for the fence
We're coming, we're killing, we're changing
The faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strengthen within yourself
All over with
We're coming,we're killing, we're changing

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”
