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.
We love you, we love you
Walkin' tall you stand up all alone
With hand and fist I stand up for my own
The only, thing you're gonna do is fall
So watch your shit you think you own it all
(Not knowing I) got my grip on you
(Its time to show me)
What's up inside you that makes you click for
Hate, you'll never find a way to stop me
What makes you click for hate
You left me with no choice in comin'
(Watch how I blow through you)
I'll take the blame that's all you have to give
So keep your shame and hide it from the
Ones you lied to go wipe your face and start to crawl
And if you get up I'll be there and you'll (start falling)
(I) got my grip on you
(Why don't you show me)
What's up inside you that makes you click for
Hate
You'll never find a way
(Watch how I blow through you)
You can't stop me
(I will never fall)
You show me
Nothing at all (nothing at all)
You left me with no choice im comin' im comin
(Watch how I blow through you)
You left me with no choice im comin' (choice im comin')
(Watch how I blow through you)
You cant stop me
I will never fold
You showed me nothin' can hold
I got my grip on you
(look on the inside)
Yeah yeah
Blame is all you have to give
(You never told me)
What's up inside you that makes you click for hate
You'll never find a way to stop me
What makes you click for hate
You left me with no choice in comin'
(Watch how I blow through you)
This is how we get down down south
Look on the inside

We would not wanna be any other place then right here right now
Alot of people call and say I'm a hippie

Walkin' tall you stand up all alone
With hand and fist I stand up for my own
The only, thing you're gonna do is fall
So watch your shit you think you own it all
(Not knowing I) got my grip on you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
