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.
Moderators, these obviously aren't lyrics, but as you can see there is a huge list of songs uploaded to the internet being labled as Enya music. Please allow this list from her official site/forum to be posted in Enya's lyric section to stop the confusion.
Thank you!

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Agree, its a bad idea to put things where they dont belong to
In the case of 3 songs that are wrongly attributed to Enya, it should be understood that this was not done by the other musician. This was done by bootleggers and then picked up by fans.
Monsoon Chariot and Mor Rioghain are songs that were written by an artist named Seay. The actual song titles are Still and Siren Song. In fact on the bootlegged Amarantine album the title track everyone is listening to is actually Angelica by this same artist.
As all artists including Enya derive their income from their music, this artist has lost thousands of dollars because of this bootlegging. If you like these 3 songs go the the artists site and pay for a download.
Sumiregusa is by enya
You have the song "Iapetus" incorrectly attributed to Infrared Uforia. The song is actually by Lorellei and is called "Mystery" from the album "Spiritus: Breath of Life".
