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.
Mrs. God, am I right
That's your real address
This time, it's you
Ready to confess
Free the masculine world
Cancel their humility
Mrs God, can it be
Can You be the light
One dressed to kill
Walk on, how you bite
This will state and explain
Why men are sometimes stumbling
Mrs God, are You there
Laughing at us is not fair
Mrs God can You see
All the shit You've done to me
Mrs. God, may I say
It's nothing of my kind
We're so deceived
You'd better left us blind
Mrs God, we are cool
Take it with the smile
But don't be cruel
That's heavy to defy
In some hundred years
God has always had the tears
That's your real address
This time, it's you
Ready to confess
Free the masculine world
Cancel their humility
Mrs God, can it be
Can You be the light
One dressed to kill
Walk on, how you bite
This will state and explain
Why men are sometimes stumbling
Mrs God, are You there
Laughing at us is not fair
Mrs God can You see
All the shit You've done to me
Mrs. God, may I say
It's nothing of my kind
We're so deceived
You'd better left us blind
Mrs God, we are cool
Take it with the smile
But don't be cruel
That's heavy to defy
In some hundred years
God has always had the tears

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
Rainbow Demon got it right. It's about the power women have over men, and how men will basicly do anything. It's about how God has to be a woman because of this. Only a feminine GOD would, or could be so crafty and well, cruel depending on how you see it, to have made things this way. Sometimes woman are just PAINFULLY beautiful and alluring, along with the intelligence and hidden wickedness to match. Just look at the old testament, all the wrath and jealousy of God...I mean, haven't you ever heard the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? Also, think about how much the bible warns of the pleasures of the flesh and temptation, and Jesus himself was tempted. It's enough to make any man fall from grace. I mean...cmon, on to of that, the floods, earthquakes, plagues, famine, war, death? I don't wanna come off as a God hater, I'm more of a God fearer, lol. I think this song is pretty self explanitory myself. How many times have you guys fallen in love with a woman and been ready to give her your very SOUL, only to have her rip it out and shit on it? Because she CAN, and just move on to the next groveling fool that will bow and scrape for her love and attention. Seriously. Think about this for awhile, and yeah, watch the video.
