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.
Well, sweet little sister's high as hell, cheating on a halo
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it
Wanna try me?
Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it
Pig sweat a million miles, I've got a heart atomic style
Make it look easy, that's what I said
Blast of silence explodes in my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Gimme that, gimme that, now
Give it back, give it back
Step to the moonshine frenzy, hail the resurrection
What's new pussy-cat? Can you dig the satisfaction?
Well, you can't take it with you but you can in overdrive
Yeah, some like it hot, yeah, twisted
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Grind in an odyssey, a holocaust, a heart kicking on tomorrow
And a breakdown agony, I said an ecstasy in overdrive
We're riding on the world, thunder kissin'
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
Living fast and dying young, like an endless poetry
My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me
My soul salvation, liberation on the drive
The power of the blaster, move me faster
Nineteen-sixty-five, yeah, wow
Five, yeah, wow
Demon warp is coming alive
In nineteen-sixty-five-five-five
You're all shook up, aren't you baby?
I never try anything, I just do it

Oh, shout (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, gimme that, gimme that, now
Yeah
Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool that gets down on it

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.
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.
He had his mind on drugs while writing this for sure there so many references that fit perfect with my favorite pasttime -Rollin' like a supersonic, another fool to get down on it.
