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.
Huge blue planet Immense wonder of life
Floating for years and years
Full of beauty
And forms of life
The Wisdom of nature
Helps us to feed, to grow
Allows us to live in it
And appreciate
The Majestic of Gaia
I feel the Earth
As a totally rooted giant tree
Linked to this energy body
I venerate all its presence and beauty
Its pure life
We have to understand
Our planet evolves, rises
A crucial time
A gift of life
A spiritual migration
Rising to a higher dimension
Towards a natural state
All the inner changes
You experience
Are the result
The consequence
Of the vibrational ascension
Of Gaia
Let them happen
While you help our planet to rise!
We've forgotten it
Forgotten the link
Earth, soul and Universe
We've never been separated from it
We've just disconnected ourselves
The reconnection begins
Now!
A new Earth
A new Earth is emerging
The natural balance
Is being reborn
The veil dissipates
A progressive transition is happening
Low vibrations will be healed
Suffering's eradication
I embrace my planet
Together we do the great migration
Gaia's evolution's also mine
I feel the Earth
As a totally rooted giant tree
Linked to this energy body
I venerate all its presence and beauty
Its pure life
"Oh mother Earth,
I thank you for all that you give
I'm rooted to you
I feel you
I am you"
Floating for years and years
Full of beauty
And forms of life
The Wisdom of nature
Helps us to feed, to grow
Allows us to live in it
And appreciate
The Majestic of Gaia
I feel the Earth
As a totally rooted giant tree
Linked to this energy body
I venerate all its presence and beauty
Its pure life
We have to understand
Our planet evolves, rises
A crucial time
A gift of life
A spiritual migration
Rising to a higher dimension
Towards a natural state
All the inner changes

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”
