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.
All pervading
Destroyer of all existance
Past and future
Created and then erased
The universe
Sustained by the will of Vishnu
Incarnation
Mortals are dehumanized
Desolation
Immortals now isolated
Termination
Expiration of eons
Eradicate
Souls and lives that have existed
Cessation of
All solar proclivities
Prehistoric devastation before all worlds not created
Shifting all consistencies
Blind, to perception
Subjective obliteration, Downtrodden
Expense for live
Ominous omens of deceased prophetic somnolency
Man has been unlimited to rape and kill unmitigated
Prescence of impunity
Fall, impiety
Revelation, duplication
Of the great audacity
Shiftless nubile destiny to change the processes of time
Inclination to, feed from failed life
Weeping dead souls lie
Fragments from all time, conjoined to unwind
Vital life blood dies
Idle idolatry, ignore necessity
Inflames, our destiny
Sickened by excess of sin
Untold end yet to begin
Smote forth from entitlement
Permanence from nothingness
Time itself, will now perish
Absolute pain in reiteration
Pervade sufferance and mutilation
Prevail exotic excruciation
Wrath of Vishnu
Mortal Revolution
Absolute pain in reiteration
Pervade sufferance and mutilation
Prevail exotic excruciation
Wrath of Vishnu
Coil of revelation
Destiny to no longer exist
Ceasing to nothing that is alive or dead
Become existence borne to the winds
Panspermodic procreation consummates
Space between matter now disappears
Collisions of all remaining zygote plains
Abhorrent impurity still breeds
Until all of existence caves in upon itself
Destroyer of all existance
Past and future
Created and then erased
The universe
Sustained by the will of Vishnu
Incarnation
Mortals are dehumanized
Desolation
Immortals now isolated
Termination
Expiration of eons
Eradicate
Souls and lives that have existed
Cessation of
All solar proclivities
Prehistoric devastation before all worlds not created
Shifting all consistencies
Blind, to perception
Subjective obliteration, Downtrodden
Expense for live
Ominous omens of deceased prophetic somnolency
Man has been unlimited to rape and kill unmitigated
Prescence of impunity
Fall, impiety
Revelation, duplication
Of the great audacity
Shiftless nubile destiny to change the processes of time
Inclination to, feed from failed life
Weeping dead souls lie
Fragments from all time, conjoined to unwind

Sickened by excess of sin
Untold end yet to begin
Smote forth from entitlement

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
error:i meant the name of the song would be much better..............
Wrong! Vishnu created Shiva and Brahma. It is said in many puranas that he can destroy a whole universe with the shake of his brow. Kali and Shiva probably destroy material existences. Vishnu destroys whole universes and absorbs them into him at the end of Brahma's life.<br /> <br /> You may say "but Shiva is there for that task". I think Shiva just destroys the three worlds but Vishnu destroys the whole universe and absorbs it into him. He is the most powerful deity of all and is unaffected by the process unlike Brahma and Shiva who get absorbed into him.<br /> <br /> PS Why did an American death metal band "praise" Vishnu?!
