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.
We once had a time
Meet me at The Castro tonight
I held a rose
You held who knows, but that's fine
And we fell in love
We fell in love at the Jon Reed choir
And right there and then
I swore to no end
Swore to never let you go
But love's got a way
Of fading away
Oh-oh, I never saw you again
I never saw you again
Waiting in line
To see Suede play
And we had a time
I wish we could stay
And waiting in line
To see Suede play
Meet me at The Castro tonight
I held a rose
You held who knows, but that's fine
And we fell in love
We fell in love at the Jon Reed choir
And right there and then
I swore to no end
Swore to never let you go
But love's got a way
Of fading away
Oh-oh, I never saw you again
I never saw you again
Waiting in line
To see Suede play
And we had a time
I wish we could stay
And waiting in line
To see Suede play

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
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.
I think this maybe a gay love song, and not that heavily coded one. References to The Castro and the John Reed Sims Choir are the real giveaway. There is also a fragile tenderness in the lyrics that gives it the feeling of something secretive, in the same way that Sufjan Stevens is very guarded about his sexuality. If this is the case, I applaud Devendra for writing such an honest song.
