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.
You want to chase, this rabbit down a hole
You start to slide and lose grip of control
Make haste, it's time, to ruin or reward
You say "give in" then you beg for more
You'll bury this, slow down
It's all this system breeds
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
Save your eyes for this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love you held dear, feel it rising
So cut me, to size, I'm losing shape through all this
You call me sublime, you know that's such a waste of energy.
Will I change, your mind if I could show you my way?
A black stain on your heart, you know that's not what i want to see.
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
(Always in vain now)
Save your eyes for this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love, you held dear, fear your horizons
You want to chase, this rabbit down a hole
You start to slide and lose grip of control
Make haste, it's time to ruin or reward
You say "give in" and then you beg for more
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
I crave you
Set your eyes on this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love, you feel
Save your eyes for, this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love you feel here.
Feel it rising
You start to slide and lose grip of control
Make haste, it's time, to ruin or reward
You say "give in" then you beg for more
You'll bury this, slow down
It's all this system breeds
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
Save your eyes for this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love you held dear, feel it rising
So cut me, to size, I'm losing shape through all this
You call me sublime, you know that's such a waste of energy.
Will I change, your mind if I could show you my way?
A black stain on your heart, you know that's not what i want to see.
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
(Always in vain now)
Save your eyes for this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love, you held dear, fear your horizons
You want to chase, this rabbit down a hole
You start to slide and lose grip of control
Make haste, it's time to ruin or reward
You say "give in" and then you beg for more
You'll bury this, slow down, it's time to make amends
I crave you
Set your eyes on this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love, you feel
Save your eyes for, this place where I define you
Myth or desire
When it's true love you feel here.
Feel it rising

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
To me the song is blatantly about sex (maybe my mind is in the gutter), remember this is just what I think... Its like he's got a girl and hes talking to her, before getting it on.
You want to chase, this rabbit down a hole, Refurring to her wanting to blow him.
You start to slide and lose grip of control, she starts really getting into it.
Make haste, it's time, to ruin or reward He wants her to go faster to make him cum (reward).
You say give in then you beg for more, She says cum, but still wants sex after...
If you look at the song from that perspective, it makes sense. I heard the song is called "Roquefort" because the songs cheesey.
