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.
Wish that I could close my eyes
And stop this room from moving
Any sound could cause surprise
Except my blue phone ringing
Won't someone come see me
They could change my weather
We could talk together now
Because I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
Is my reflection telling lies
Or is my mind just blinking
Self esteem and bottle mark
Compete for last position
Why don't you come home and be me
You could read my letter
We could talk together now
Because I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
When the dark
Separates the ice
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
And when the dark
Turns out the light
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
You wanna go
You don't wanna stay
Don't wanna stay
And stop this room from moving
Any sound could cause surprise
Except my blue phone ringing
Won't someone come see me
They could change my weather
We could talk together now
Because I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
Is my reflection telling lies
Or is my mind just blinking
Self esteem and bottle mark
Compete for last position
Why don't you come home and be me
You could read my letter
We could talk together now
Because I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
I still feel high
And so low (low low low)
When the dark
Separates the ice
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
And when the dark
Turns out the light
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
You wanna come down slow
You wanna come down nice
You wanna go
You don't wanna stay
Don't wanna stay

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
This song is sexy..... not sure what its about though... not good at seeing that stuff. lol
