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.
Intro yeah, it's the P.O.D. right here
Coming straight from S.D. C - A
619's in effect y'know what I'm sayin'
Givin' you that hardcore sound yeah
Comin' up from the ground boy
That's where it all started y'know what I'm sayin'
Yeah, this is hardcore, you know why it's so hardcore
'Cuz it's bult on the rock - what rock you ask
The rock of Jesus Christ, yeah that's right
Givin' you the truth 'cuz the truth hurts y'kow
But that's how we layin' it down
We ain't got nothin' to hide
And we're breakin' it down like that y'know what I'm sayin'
Hardlove, hardcore one way yeah, check it ou
Abortion is murder
There's nothing you can say or do
To justify the fact

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.
Blue

“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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
first of all that is no where near the numbers im looking at right now. 88% of the united kingdom claim to be christian. "thou shall not murder"
in america over 70% of our population attends church so our laws should be based on religious morals.
