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.
[Chorus: x2]
Swollen Members gunna make us stop
Take a minute and remember who takes the top
To the critics and the civils your time is up
Just admit it everybody knows this crime is up
Its hot shit
Perfected but not invented
Rhymes from the ego driven self centered
Entered the fast lane and never gut dented
Life in a flash hypes blunts and hash
Three of my favorite word has made this
More hits than the majors up from the minors
Bust from the top dot cops and sirens
Fresh out the shop poppin' n' stylin'
Madchild, wildin' nonidentical
The cynical is medical condition is critical
Unforgettable Swollen Members beautiful
Language unsuitable tention n' onic
Coastal Chronic track got Moka on it
Independent with a different perspective
Select effective next (scratch sound) on exit
The young and the restless fool fuel injected
[Chorus: x2]
Y'all ain't got it so don't even think about it
'cause I'm tough if ya know the top
Swollen Members, Moka Only gonna take the shot
If you think you betcha know you better press for why
You can mop it in your song and repossess your mind
If you front it you can blow or you can testify
Someone else was about what it takes to climb
Whenever battle axe warriors come out to play
You can bet we gonna do it in a thousand way
And we sweating off the duel we resuscitate
Members only rock, shit, motherfucker bait, its hot shit
How many albums bought n sold
Triple ghetto gold rocked and rolled
Sound, mixed and mastiff
Stick with the program, get payed after
TV shows, zeens and magz
Positive feedback, jeans still sagged
Hands still knocked, Prevails gets props
The same as always rising to the top
With the sworm of excitement
Fighting form we invite criticism
Rhyme shine like prism
Spit flames we see in 3D vision
Even my people play CD in prison
Bad decision, fatal error
Get scars from bars and bomb every terror
We own label never get dropped
Now the crew combined and we can't be stopped
[Chorus: x4]
Swollen Members gunna make us stop
Take a minute and remember who takes the top
To the critics and the civils your time is up
Just admit it everybody knows this crime is up
Its hot shit
Perfected but not invented
Rhymes from the ego driven self centered
Entered the fast lane and never gut dented
Life in a flash hypes blunts and hash
Three of my favorite word has made this
More hits than the majors up from the minors
Bust from the top dot cops and sirens
Fresh out the shop poppin' n' stylin'
Madchild, wildin' nonidentical
The cynical is medical condition is critical
Unforgettable Swollen Members beautiful
Language unsuitable tention n' onic
Coastal Chronic track got Moka on it

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
