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.
Oh god!
Once again, waiting for the darkness, beyond smile this cry ("life")
Keep trying for another one
The bright day, one day, sets light into my way
Dig up yourself from your grave
Back to the reason to kill, not exactly motherfucking raw metal
Do you look into the grime
(Fuck the ("you") beat!), it's your choice for the future, by the cross
Before you probably make you ("it") last
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Spoiling inside me fight back, treat you like a madman
When your waiting for the light to come
(She was down!), stuck on a bright ("light") shining bright
It's time to close your eyes
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Once again, waiting for the darkness, beyond smile this cry ("life")
Keep trying for another one
The bright day, one day, sets light into my way
Dig up yourself from your grave
Back to the reason to kill, not exactly motherfucking raw metal
Do you look into the grime
(Fuck the ("you") beat!), it's your choice for the future, by the cross
Before you probably make you ("it") last
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
Spoiling inside me fight back, treat you like a madman
When your waiting for the light to come
(She was down!), stuck on a bright ("light") shining bright
It's time to close your eyes
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die
As long as the twilight bailed
The dead came as we embrace
More than the ones we love
We own it, we burn it down
Not afraid to cry is not our fault
Not afraid of falling down below
To the night where we'll soon reply
Like the living dead we'll never die

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
the song means to heart you or to feel sad about the meaning. i found this web site at school
