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.
I can sense it, feel her presence
she's always watching
she's in the air, hear her whisper
calling me...
I watched the skies turn dark
now the storm will take me away
could this be all that I'm longing for,
to join her again?
I can take her in the rain now
while her clouds surround me
she's so lovely as she kills me
this is it...
I watched the skies turn dark
now the storm will take me away
could this be all that I'm longing for,
to join her again?
Come down and take me away
she's always watching
she's in the air, hear her whisper
calling me...
I watched the skies turn dark
now the storm will take me away
could this be all that I'm longing for,
to join her again?
I can take her in the rain now
while her clouds surround me
she's so lovely as she kills me
this is it...
I watched the skies turn dark
now the storm will take me away
could this be all that I'm longing for,
to join her again?
Come down and take me away

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I've heard from very reliable sources that this song is absolutely 100% about Eric Harper drinking a diarrhea milkshake.
im not really sure but i think this about a guy who regrets breaking up with a girl and everytime he sees her its eat him up inside his regret is killing him he longs to see her
this is about the movie twister, with a girl twist added
To me, this song is about the acceptance of death and love of life. In all of the lines, he is talking to mother nature and the clouds are a metaphor for death. I think "calling me...to join her again" refers to how we are all a part of nature and this becomes most evident when we die and literally become a part of nature. I love the line "she's so lovely, as she kills me". I think this says life is a beautiful thing and enjoy it because we all die one day. One of the best songs I've ever heard and unfortunately, like a lot of great greeley songs, it is terribly underrated.
