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.
Where's the fortunate future?
Where does our fortunate
Futurecome?
Say what
Fuck off, fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory
Fuck off, fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory

Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory
Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory
Under the sun
嘲笑うかの様に白日の下
曝け出した のどかに流れる赤の川
死骸で作った山道をお前たちは笑い歩いている
また手をかけ延ばし
そして百合の花に蟻が群がる
何一つも救えない人達には両手の中
灰と涙と寡黙を
残酷なまでに かようは月と太陽
明日さえも眼を塞いだ
赤日に問うは寡黙と ah ah
Under the sun
Say what
Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory
Say what
Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory, yeah
Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory
Say what
Fuck off fuck off and wipe
Get back my merrily memory, dick men

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing

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.
waa no one commented on this song?! this is one of my favourite songs ever =3
dude i know this song is amazing
Yeah it is...the music video is pretty cool too
Great effing song killer video.
This so is awsome...it was the first Dir en grey song I listend to by them and I didn't even know it was them even though i saw the video. But two months later I figuded out who they were and my obsesion began...
Haha this song always makes me think of Children for some reason.. I think it [sounds] similar.. maybe its just me. Eek.. dir is getting bigger =[
Lol me and my friend Rei-chan sing this song really loud in chorus class but we say "fooch off and wipe" and "pick men"....but anyway, i love the way the guitars sould similar to that of church bells in the beginning. this song sooo rocks and the music video is ingenius.
