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.
Got a taste of a rocking band,
Standing there holding out your hand,
Better lock up all your doors,
She's like a spinning dynamo,
You're handing out the token prize,
Giving you a brand new ride,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
And nobody knows where she goes,
Banging drums, working out all fast,
Heavy tune I can play it loud,
You know she's blowing away all the others,
You're never man enough take it on all night,
You better razzle dazzle on that stage,
Keep on rocking all through the night,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
And nobody knows,
Where she goes she goes,
A heavy rocking tune is playing,
Playing as the night rolls on,
Sneaking off with the Romeo,
Where she goes, nobody knows
A heavy rocking tune is playing on a flat screen color TV,
Sneaking over creepy crawly, never give it up to take it out through the night,
There she goes she goes, and nobody knows [Repeat: x4]
Where she goes she goes
Standing there holding out your hand,
Better lock up all your doors,
She's like a spinning dynamo,
You're handing out the token prize,
Giving you a brand new ride,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
And nobody knows where she goes,
Banging drums, working out all fast,
Heavy tune I can play it loud,
You know she's blowing away all the others,
You're never man enough take it on all night,
You better razzle dazzle on that stage,
Keep on rocking all through the night,
Oh there she goes, she goes,
And nobody knows,
Where she goes she goes,
A heavy rocking tune is playing,
Playing as the night rolls on,
Sneaking off with the Romeo,
Where she goes, nobody knows
A heavy rocking tune is playing on a flat screen color TV,
Sneaking over creepy crawly, never give it up to take it out through the night,
There she goes she goes, and nobody knows [Repeat: x4]
Where she goes she goes

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.

Amazing

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.

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.
Wow this song is amazing. A stand out for me too.
But I can't help myself but hear "Working anal farts" when he sings "Working out all fast"
Does anybody else think the solo in this song is frigging brilliant? Blew my mind away...
Really great song... The whole album is just fantastic!
I've only listened to the new album once but this song is the stand out for me! I bought the album for my brother and have yet to buy one for myself. Now that is love!
This is a kickass song, but what is it about?
I swear to God this song was written about me. It's the story of my life, my absolute favourite song ever.
