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.
Ongeloof en machteloosheid
Verbijstering en rusteloosheid
Het gevoel dat je iets moet voelen, niet kan blijven zitten, iets moet doen
Onrust maakt zich van mij meester, geen controle over werkende krachten
Verzetten tegen onverschilligheid, bundelen van energie en gedachten
Woede maakt zich van mij meester, bij betrokkenheid die is doodgeslagen
Voed je verlangen naar een verandering door nooit te stoppen met vragen
Nooit te stoppen
Verbijstering en rusteloosheid
Het gevoel dat je iets moet voelen, niet kan blijven zitten, iets moet doen
Onrust maakt zich van mij meester, geen controle over werkende krachten
Verzetten tegen onverschilligheid, bundelen van energie en gedachten
Woede maakt zich van mij meester, bij betrokkenheid die is doodgeslagen
Voed je verlangen naar een verandering door nooit te stoppen met vragen
Nooit te stoppen

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
TRANSLATION Never stop Disbelief and powerlessness Bewilderment and restlessnessfeeling you need to feel something, can’t continue to sit down, but need to do something.
Anxiety takes a hold of me. No control over present forces Resisting indifference, uniting energy and thoughts
Anger takes a hold of me, compassion beaten to death Feed your desire for a change by never to stop asking questions
Never stop
NOTE If you’re ever feeling as if being lied to and deceived by authorities. Never stop asking, never stop questioning, never settle for nothing.
