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.
As the winds blows my heart knows
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves
Even as the rain falls from the sky
Clouds fills my eyes and I wonder why
Wonder in a sense of amazement and awe
At how life begins
It never seems to never to cease
In it's educating reminding awakening us
From the things that we think that we know
As the wind blows
My heart knows
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves
Even as fires flames burning bright
I feel my soul is my guiding light
I wonder in a sense of amusement and awe
At how life evolves
It never seems to never cease
In it's elevating redefining awakening us
From the things that we think that we know
I thought I knew I thought I knew
As the wind blows my heart knows
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves
Even as the rain falls from the sky
Clouds fills my eyes and I wonder why
Wonder in a sense of amazement and awe
At how life begins
It never seems to never to cease
In it's educating reminding awakening us
From the things that we think that we know
As the wind blows
My heart knows
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves
Even as fires flames burning bright
I feel my soul is my guiding light
I wonder in a sense of amusement and awe
At how life evolves
It never seems to never cease
In it's elevating redefining awakening us
From the things that we think that we know
I thought I knew I thought I knew
As the wind blows my heart knows
As the wind blows through the trees
My heart is stirring like the leaves

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.
