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.
Girl, you wanted
To shut it all off and make a run for the door
It's so hard
To make it
For every inch we get, we need a mile more
But there is always so much distance
Can't but feel it somehow
And you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now
I'm closing off inside
And it is only just starting
But you can't be close enough unless I'm feeling your heart beat
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need
Girl
What are you doing now?
And are you going out?
Or has your life shut down?
Are you there?
This thing keeps cutting out
I feel like freaking out
But we keep reaching out
But there is always so much distance
Can't but feel it somehow
And you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now
I'm closing off inside
And it is only just starting
But you can't be close enough unless I'm feeling your heart beat
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need
Girl
It's hard enough
Just to move around, yeah
It's hard enough
Just to move around
I wanted you
Oh, I wanted you
Girl, I wanted you to move
Oh, I wanted you
Girl, I wanted you
Oh, I wanted you to move
Around
Around
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need
To shut it all off and make a run for the door
It's so hard
To make it
For every inch we get, we need a mile more
But there is always so much distance
Can't but feel it somehow
And you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now
I'm closing off inside
And it is only just starting
But you can't be close enough unless I'm feeling your heart beat
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need
Girl
What are you doing now?
And are you going out?
Or has your life shut down?
Are you there?
This thing keeps cutting out
I feel like freaking out
But we keep reaching out
But there is always so much distance
Can't but feel it somehow
And you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now
I'm closing off inside
And it is only just starting
But you can't be close enough unless I'm feeling your heart beat
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need
Girl
It's hard enough
Just to move around, yeah
It's hard enough
Just to move around
I wanted you
Oh, I wanted you
Girl, I wanted you to move
Oh, I wanted you
Girl, I wanted you
Oh, I wanted you to move
Around
Around
All of your love
Is all that I need
All of your love
Is all that I need

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
Punchline

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
To me, it's an amazing song about how bad he wants a girl.
I think it's 'just shut it all off' and 'And are you going out or has your life slipped out? Are you there? This thing keeps cutting out I feel like freaking out but we keep reaching out'
Oh also I think it's 'It's so hard, to make it' andd 'I'm closing up inside and oh, it's only just started' and 'Was all that I needed'
Oh and instead of "some resistence", "so much distance"
these lyrics are terribly wrong.
the c.d. cover states:
girl, you wanted to shut it all off and make a run for the door it's so hard to make it for every inch we get we need a mile more
but there is always so much distance can't help but feel it somehow and you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now i'm closing off inside and it's only just starting but you can't be close enough unless i'm feeling your heartbeat
all of your love is all that i needed x2
girl, what are you doin' now and are you goin' out or has your life shut down are you there? this thing keeps cutting out i feel like freaking out but we keep reaching out
but there is always so much distance can't help but feel it somehow and you have never ever felt it like you feel it right now i'm closing off inside and it's only just starting but you can't be close enough unless i'm feeling your heartbeat
all of your love is all that i needed x2
girl it's hard enough just to move around yeah it's hard enough just to move around i wanted you oh i wanted you girl i wanted you to move around all of your love is all that i need
all of your love is all that i needed x3
favorite song on the c.d.
I think this song is pretty self-explainatory. A boy and a girl separated by distance and are getting kind of suffocated by all the pressure and loneliness it's creating. The girl is getting tired of it and is ready to make a break for it and the boy is trying to get her to just understand and make her want to be with him still.
these guys are so fucking amazing live.
Please cut the title of the song down to its actual name, 'All of Your Love.'
First of all, this is a great song.
As far as the meaning goes, I think that the guy is trying really hard in the relationship because he needs the girl, but she doesn't seem to care as much for him as he does for her.
yes, they are amazing live. i saw them at warped, and actually am going to see them in just a few hours.
i'm just brushing up on some lyrics before i leave =)
