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.
Let's break our dreams and run away
To a land without rainy day
Let's take our hope and rise up high
Follow me, follow me
Let's find a land for you and me
A land with peace and unity
Let's get together here and now
Follow me, follow me
It's my holiday
I'll tell you where I'm going to
Land of love
It's my holiday
I'll tell you where I'm going to
Land of love
Follow me, follow me
To the land of love, land of love
Follow me, follow me
To the land of love, land of love
I follow you that's what I do
Go anywhere that you want me to
And never will I love back
I trust in you when holiday
Come on come on this is our journey [Repeat: x1]
Come on come on to the land of love
Back your dreams get ready
Take off and rise up high
The land of love is in the sky
Somewhere beyond control
We move to the rhythm to free our souls
Just take me take me take me anywhere [Repeat: x1]
Just take me take me to the land of love if you're there
It is in close or far away
Only love can find a way
As ever when you are there
You get staying and you blessed there
Come on come on this is our passion [Repeat: x1]
Come on come on to a higher love
Take your time and joy
And now there we are here
Just close your eyes and have no fear
Forever eternally
To find a true love fantasy
Just take me take me take me anywhere [Repeat: x1]
Just take me take me to the land of love if you're there
To a land without rainy day

Follow me, follow me

A land with peace and unity
Let's get together here and now
Follow me, follow me

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
