its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I've lost all words to say, driving everyone away
Am I really all that bad, or am I going mad?
I'm a face from yesterday, I'm always in the way
Hiding all my pain, it's driving me insane
If you feel this way, each and every day
There's got to be something more
You want your life to change, something's got to change
To live for something more
No one ever calls, you're sick of it all
Your friends don't come around, they all let you down
What's gotten into you? There's nothing you can do
To make it all seem right, so why put up a fight?
If you feel this way, each and every day
There's got to be something more
You want your life to change, something's got to change
To live for something more
Am I really all that bad, or am I going mad?
I'm a face from yesterday, I'm always in the way
Hiding all my pain, it's driving me insane
If you feel this way, each and every day
There's got to be something more
You want your life to change, something's got to change
To live for something more
No one ever calls, you're sick of it all
Your friends don't come around, they all let you down
What's gotten into you? There's nothing you can do
To make it all seem right, so why put up a fight?
If you feel this way, each and every day
There's got to be something more
You want your life to change, something's got to change
To live for something more

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.
this is def. my song...well, I think this song means that you are feeling sad and going thru pain but u keep it inside and try to hide it from everyone and in the process, u r pushing your friends away and now u want to change what u have done
